        @Lousdigirf the OP.

        For me it's more about social class and upbringing.
        I may not be the smartest person on Earth (not even close, in fact), but vast majority of people are dumb. They can't draw personal conclusions, don't have any reasoning skills and follow blind emotions/primal instincts. It applies to any country, hence how societies and countries exist. Masses obeying the smart leaders in exchange for assumed security.

        Were I to elaborate on that any further, I'd be derailing the thread, which I don't think I should do, so I stop here.

        OP fits that sheep role model very well, for he's incapable of constructing a logically coherent chain of thoughts.
        Only cries and assumed injustice, whereas the problem lies in his own mental capabilities.

          I could spam Serbian every time in every chat all over the internet but guess what people don't understand this fucking language and there's no reason to learn it.

          But serbians know that they are small country and small number of people talk their language, but russians think that there a huge area of the world which speaks russian, also because the country is big and isolated, you hardly meet foreigners in real life or travel abroad yourself. Therefore a small metal horizon with respect to languages. I bet the same thing is with other big and isolated countries who have empire complex from the past

            Sounds incredibly ironic, when you consider that it's the English-speaking person, who expects others to always understand him most of the time. Talking about empire complex, duh. Like, I wouldn't mind English-speaking players on Russian server, I wouldn't care about them.
            The reverse case is however frequently met with angry autistic screeching.

            Russia is big for sure, as a side-effect we have lots of languages here. Various North Caucasus dialects, Finno-Ugric dialects, Ukrainian, Belarusian, various small nation languages.

            If you really think that Russia is somehow isolated/we don't know what foreigners are/we all speak just one language within the country, when you're like a Russian, who thinks that every American has a rifle, speaks with a redneck accent and has emperial ambitions.

                    Не буду тебя уж откровенно пытаться переубедить - нету толка, да и выйдет срач уровня /b/.

                    Я рассуждаю с позиции человека пожившего и в России, и в Европе. Так вот, мы даже близко не так заизолированы, как ты изобразил в сопоставлений даже с теми же европейскими странами.

                    В той же Великобритании, где я очень много был, обычные люди мало куда летают/ездят, в основном приезжают к ним и отнюдь не первосортные законопослушные граждане/будущие продуктивные члены общества, а воры и идиоты, которые пользуются вежливостью и излишним левачеством тамошних властей. Это не те иностранцы, которых ты бы хотел видеть.

                    Большинство малых городов там такие же, как и у нас - там в основном обычные люди, которые там давно живут, мало понаехавших и прочее. Это обычный атрибут провинции, а не какая-то прерогатива России.
                    Да даже сравнить крупный Ньюкасл на тайне и Лондон - в первом уже будет ощущаться та же "изоляция", просто потому, что люди всегда стремятся к столицам.

                    В ЛЮБОЙ стране знает много языков/путешествует в подавляющем большинстве зажиточный/интеллигентный класс.
                    Точно так же у них есть кретины, которые думают, что все обязаны знать английский апрори (ОП в треде - почти наглядный пример).

                    @Feelsbadman
                    Russian is not a language for one country either. It technically is the international language of the CIS region.
                    Just like Spanish is the international way for spaniards to communicate.

                    Many those you perceive as Russians in Dota may actually be from Ukraine/Kazakhstan/Latvia/Belarus/etc., it's just that they use the Russian language.

                            Personnally I'm french and when I see other people speaking french in my games I just ask them to speak english because it's rude to the other players that don't speak french (if the 4 other in my team are french I just tell them I don't understand their stupid language). I don't see why the russian shouldn't do the same.

                            If you play in EU server you have to speak english (broken english is OK as long as you try your best) and if you play the russian one you speak russian. Also I only Q in EU West.

                              Я не хочу превращать в чатик тред, который был не для этого сделан.
                              Я жил в Твери, в Москве, в Лондоне (сложно сказать, где дольше) и в Бирмингеме (там буквально 7 месяцев).
                              Мне этого более чем достаточно, чтобы иметь личное мнение.
                              Это всё, что я тебе скажу.

                              @giren Just speak French. Were I you, I would feel free to speak French, if my team was majority-French, for that would be the most comfortable thing for most of the players in your team. Makes sense to me.

                                    Most people on this forum speak English, so even spamming russian/serbian/whatever is kind of stupid in a way, even if it is permitted by the site's rules.

                                                    That's an incorrect example, for I would only use Russian, when I know there's at least one to understand what I've written/spoken.
                                                    Everything yields a purpose, not done for the sake of doing so. That's what you've missed.

                                                    When you use Russian to communicate with 3 other Russians in your team, you use it, because it is easier and well-understood by the vast majority of the team (4 * 100 / 5 = 80%), not because "DUH, I AM GONNA SPEAK RUSSIAN FOR NO REASON".

                                                        Good god FH, your ego seems to be a mountain to climb. I don't think that anything in the world could make you change your mind because you are not open minded at all and I would just fall down to your level and bring some random ad hominems about a person I know nothing about if I replied to what you wrote about me.
                                                        TBH I am not even sure if your point is "fuck the system" or "you are either russian or american" because I can read out both out of your comments.

                                                        What you don't seem to grasp is that those "english speaking" guys are mostly not english speaking people but want to keep the communication uphold and not lower your performance because of communication issues. I had 3 native speaking guys once and I asked them to either find a discord channel or speak english/use the chat wheel.
                                                        I don't even care, I will mute them myself if I have to.

                                                        The thing is even in your example 80% of the people could speak russian but the one not speaking it will 100% likely not understand a single word and thus the team will lower the performance.
                                                        There is a pretty good chance all of those russian speaking guys do understand and speak english tho which will still keep the communication active.

Do they have to force themselves to speak to that one English-speaking guy in his language because he has some sort of special privilege or what? If I get matched with 4 Euros I do speak only English, but why would the same not work in reverse? I am not being hypocritical here. If I am the minority in a group, I do respect the majority in the group. I expect the same from other people.

                                                                    This comment was edited

                                                                      Also, this.
                                                                      Reposting 3rd time or so, because, apparently, this is very hard to read and understand.

                                                                      I am afraid, Valve would need to introduce penalties to make me have any incentive to do that, assuming I am an average person.
                                                                      Electricity takes the path of least resistance.
                                                                      Humans choose the easiest ways to achieve their goals.
                                                                      Goal = to find a game.
                                                                      Ways = queuing up on different servers
                                                                      The easiest way = queueing up on 3 different servers @ once, selecting the most common language.
                                                                      I get no penalty for doing so, so I can have the less profitable way of 1 server/real language forgone.
                                                                      Valve made a flawed system of rules, yet you whine about a particular social group.
                                                                      Not about Valve being retarded and lazy.
