What low priority means and how to escape it in Dota 2

Лоу Приорити в дота- 2 — это наказание, которое получают игроки, нарушая различные правила игры. Это наказание может накладываться автоматически или по жалобам других игроков. Серьезность этого нарушения зависит от многих игровых факторов, к ним относится: какие правила были нарушены во время игры. Этих правил очень много, поэтому мы рассмотрим многие аспекты правил и нарушений. Также система низкого приоритета дота 2 очень часто совершенствуется в лучшую сторону для разработчиков и в худшую для игроков. Поэтому получить Лоу Приорити можно очень быстро, а вот избавиться быстро не получится, так как способов избавления почти нет.

It may not have any real impact on your Dota 2 account, but a stint in low priority can cause long-term psychological damage.

Low priority is one of the most dreaded punishments in Dota 2. There are multiple ways to earn a stint in low priority matchmaking and there’s only one way to get rid of it. If you’re trying to figure out why you can only queue for single draft, we have the answer as well as how to fix it.

Don’t worry, we won’t ask how you got there. We’ll just assume your router dropped a few too many times.

You can earn low priority in two different ways. The first is mostly innocent and involves leaving matches too often. After you’ve disconnected from a Dota 2 match, a five-minute timer starts ticking down to an abandon. One abandon just gets you a temporary matchmaking ban, but two abandons within a 20-game period will trigger low priority. It’s also possible to get low priority from mass reports or grief detection.

In low priority, players are only able to queue for unranked single draft, one of the worst game modes in Dota 2. Players only get three heroes to choose from in each main attribute. Combine that limited selection with the type of players that frequent low priority and five-carry lineups become a common sight.

Each low priority sentence comes with a minimum number of single draft games, usually three. The worst part of it all is that only victories count. Losing 15 single draft games in a row won’t get you any closer to regular matchmaking. If you want the best advice for how to escape low priority, check out our tips below.

Система Лоу Приорити.

Данная система мне никогда не нравилась,но сегодня она перешла все границы.Начну по порядку

:1)Получил лоу приорити,так как накидали репортов.2)в последнее время играю мало,так что 6 игр из 7 откатал за полторы недели.3)на 6 игре отрубился инет,через 5 минут зашел,доиграл игру(выиграл),но,увы,игра засчитала лив.4)зайдя в главное меню я увидел 16,ШЕСТАДЦАТЬ!!!!!!!игр.

Итак,я не злостный ливер,2-3% ливов.Вполне себе пряморукий игрок(как бы там не было,но играю в доту уже около 7 лет и это не первый мой аккаунт),да и в чат особо не пишу.ОДНАКО,я должен отыграть 16 игр(что займет не меньше месяца

).Система ЛП сделана отвратно:а)получая репорт за фид,ты отправляешься в ЛП даже если ты потел 80+ минут и вытащил команду(не раз отправлялся в лп из-за репортов врагов,которым испортил выигранную игру).б)попадаясь со стаками 2/2 или 4,ты,как крайний,в случае поражения ловишь репорты и идешь в лп.Причем,по логике репорты от игроков стака должны считаться как один,но нет.в)если после лива ты заходишь в игру(например отрубили свет/инет)играешь,и команда выигрывает,ты все равно отправляешься в лп.г)Если ты новичок в доте,то лоу приорити станет твоим домом на ближайшие пару десятков игр.Помоему Valve класть хотела на данную систему,ведь гораздо нужнее выпустить очереднуюю порцию,откровенно трэшовых,шапок.Можно сколько угодно говорить,что вы,великие игроки играющие стаком,в лп были всего два три раза,однако других аргументов у вас нет(да и не будет).

Уверен это не первая и не последняя тема на данную тематику.Однако,я искренее надеюсь,что комьнити обратит внимание на эту,немаловажную,проблему.

There are two ways to get into Low Priority — abandoning games when they aren’t safe to leave, or being reported.

Valve is not transparent at all about the way these systems work, in order to prevent people from gaming the system, but I’ve done a great deal of hands-on testing and I can tell you generally how both of these methods work.

You get one free abandon per week. I’m not sure when this resets but it seems to be over the weekend, probably on Sunday. On the other hand, it might be a week from when you last abandoned. This is intended to allow people who have poor connections or other issues that arise during the course of a game to be able to quit a game in good conscience without being punished.

If you abandon more than once per week, you will get into Low Priority. This is not a ‘cross your fingers and hope for the best’ scenario — you will definitely get put into Low Priority for doing this, no exceptions.

The second way to get into Low Priority is to be reported. This method was more difficult to test and is the easiest to abuse. The report system works automatically on a variety of heuristics (which are, obviously, not available to the public, but I’ve done a lot of testing and I think I’ve determined a lot of them).

If someone gets angry and reports you, nothing is going to happen. A single report from a single player, or even from multiple players, doesn’t matter. You are only going to be put into Low Priority from reports if you are reported over multiple games in a short period of time.

Thanks to the introduction of the behavior report that you get every 10 games, you can tell more or less how many reports it takes to get into Low Priority. These are numbers that I’ve hand-tested, so I can’t tell you if they’re 100% accurate, but it seems like you need about 8 or 9 reports within that 10-game period in order to end up in Low Priority.

In addition, I believe that reports made against other players in Low Priority either do not count or are greatly discounted. I have never had my Low Priority games reset due to reports while I was in Low Priority.

Muting is a different issue which I haven’t investigated. I have never been muted and while I believe it works on similar principles to being put into Low Priority by being reported, I am not sure.

In simple terms, to avoid Low Priority, do not abandon or get an abandon more than once every seven days or so, and do not feed intentionally more than once every three games.

I’m not sure if Low Priority acts any differently for Ranked games as opposed to normal games. Reports seem to function the same, as well as the one free abandon per week, but I would still be cautious of abandoning or feeding in Ranked games nevertheless.

Because Valve have recently changed the number of reports available to players, and because of how the new UI works, there is a big loophole in this system: if a game becomes safe to leave (because, for example, you’re feeding so hard someone gets fed up and abandons), anyone who leaves WILL NOT be able to report you. You can only report people at the natural end of the game now, and if you leave prematurely that option is no longer available.

If you are reading this post you are probably facing a low priority status in your account, right? Here I am going to explain every aspect of how it works, why it exists, and how to get rid of it as fast as possible.

Low priority in Dota 2 is a system with the intent to penalize players with bad behaviors, making them play low-quality games in the Single Draft mode and go through a slower queue to find the match before they can join back the normal matchmaking system, even though the restriction is account bound if you try to play with friends your entire party will be automatically placed in the low priority matchmaking while the penalized player is on the party.

You should also know that the matchmaking restriction is not the only penalty attributed to players in the low priority, while your account remains with this status you will not be eligible for any kind of cosmetic item drop as well as achievements, quests, battle points or any kind of season rewards will not be granted to your account.

How do you end up in Low Priority in Dota 2?

According to the official Steam support page:

“Low Priority is a temporary matchmaking penalty that is applied to accounts that have engaged in behaviors that are detrimental to the community”

Ok, but what exactly is defined as a detrimental behavior to the community you might ask, and that would be the sum of a couple of actions while inside the game, such as abandoning a match that is not finished or marked as “safe to leave”, having a bad report history from others players due to your bad behavior while in-game or general detrimental bad conduct such as suiciding your hero nonstop, killing your own courier, destroying your items and much more.

There’s still a single way that a low priority status can be assigned to your account without your own fault, that being from one of your party members abandoning a match, that by itself attributes a percentage of the abandon to your own account, as a way to prevent parties abusing the system through coordinating who would get the abandon and preventing anyone from getting to low priority, by giving everyone in the party some responsibility, the system prevents this abuse on its own, without the need of human analyses.

However, obviously, due to this feature in the party matchmaking, you should avoid troublesome party members that abandon often if you wish to maintain your account record clean and low priority free.

It should be noted that ending up in low priority in Dota 2 is based on a pattern of behavior and not a single misconduct, so what you should do, if you don’t want to play a low priority game, is demonstrate a frequent pattern of good behavior in-game.

However, if you do indeed be classified as a player with bad conduct constantly you can have an escalation of penalties going as high as a complete matchmaking banishment or by adding a couple more games required in the low priority queue.

If you wish to check how the system is classifying you, that is available at the Conduct Summary in your player profile in-game, with the total of reports, commends, and overall behavior score of the last games of your account.

What is the definition of an abandon in Dota 2?

As stated above, abandoning matches can result in low priority to your account, but what exactly Dota 2 considers as abandonment? That is a quite simple question, if a player disconnects from a match for a total of 5 minutes, be them consecutive or not, the “safe to leave” status is attributed to the match and the responsible players get abandonment in the same instant.

It should be made clear that the disconnect doesn’t have to be from a malicious act to be considered abandonment. Leaving the match due to internet problems will still classify as detrimental behavior if repeated constantly.

Another way a match abandonment is registered is by the player clicking the “Leave Match” button below the option to reconnect to the game, this way, the 5 minutes countdown is considered irrelevant to the system and all the other players can leave the game immediately without penalty.

The last, and probably most unexpected way for a player to be classified as an abandoner is by not obtaining a single experience point in a 5 minute period. This is the way Valve found to catch the players who don’t want to go to low priority queue but still are avoiding the game itself, not contributing to their team and objectives, as such, it makes everyone plays the game or be attributed an abandon to the account.

How long does low priority last?

The low priority penalty has no way to be removed from your account apart from winning the specified number of games in your matchmaking queue. No amount of waiting will lift the penalty by itself, so if you really don’t want to endure this penalty again, you should do your best to avoid bad behaviors in-game.

Why do low priority queues take forever in Dota 2?

Technically there’s no aspect of the system designed to make the low priority queues be slower, however, as it happens with any reduction of the player pool in a matchmaking system, it will naturally take longer to find similarly skilled players due to the player pool is so much smaller than the normal priority one.

This problem will increase the better you get, as the normal 6k+ MMR matchmaking is already slow and in the low priority queue this is even worse.

Which game mode is played in low priority matches in Dota 2?

Low priority matches in Dota 2 are played strictly in the Single Draft mode as this will encourage players, even more, to avoid the low priority queue, as in this mode, you are restricted to playing only 3 random heroes selected by the game itself.

Due to most players not liking this game mode it can result in higher difficulty to form a party with friends, frustrating even more whoever falls in the low priority queue.

How to get out of low priority fast in Dota 2?

As much as I would like to tell you that there’s a way to get out of low priority really fast in Dota 2 that is simply not true. The system was built fail-proof and the only way to speed up the process of getting back to the normal priority queue is through a tryhard party with high skilled players that can win the game by themselves.

Due to the limited player pool in low priority matchmaking, a single 6k MMR players can stomp games really fast and clear the record for anyone in his party, however, if you are no the skilled players, beware to not piss him off going frequently to the low priority as it won’t take long for him to grow angry from needing to get you out so often.

This should be enough for you to understand everything there is to know about the low priority system in Dota 2, try to avoid getting into it or it can really frustrate your gaming experience!

Как избавиться от Лоу Приорити

На разных сайтах и форумах можно найти способы быстрого снятия ограничения при поиске игры. Большинство из них используют баги игры, которые сегодня уже не работают.

Но, конечно, самый лучший вариант – вообще не нарушать правила Доты 2 и не получать эти штрафы. Также существует система прогрессии, при которой за каждое последующее нарушение срок будет увеличиваться очень сильно.

Если вы совсем не хотите нарушать правила Доты 2, то Лоу Приорити опасаться не стоит. Штраф можно получить, если у вас отключат интернет или электричество и вы выйдете из игры, однако такие случаи довольно редкие, а наказание не слишком серьезное.

Самый правильный и лучший способ избавиться от низкого приоритета — это отыграть нужное количество игр и отыграть их до конца. Также, чтобы не играть против игроков( это сложно и долго), можно создать лобби с ботами и сыграть с другом в эту игру, которая засчитывается как сетевая. Также существует система прогрессии, при которой за каждое последующее нарушение срок Лоу Приорити будет сильно увеличиваться.

How to get out of low priority in Dota 2

There’s no simple shortcut for getting out of low priority in Dota 2. The only option is to win a certain number of single draft games, but that doesn’t mean that certain techniques or strategies can’t speed up the process.

The biggest tip to get out of low priority is to play ganking support heroes. All five of the opponents are going to play single-player Dota 2, so heroes that enable fast ganks like Lion, Lina, Nyx Assassin, or Hoodwink are excellent options. Remember that the enemy players are also in low priority and tilting them can give you a free win.

If you don’t have access to fast gankers in your single draft pool, look for cores that can take towers by themselves. Heroes like Windranger, Leshrac, Jakiro, and Troll Warlord don’t need their team to take objectives. Split-pushing strategies are very effective in single draft because the enemy is nearly guaranteed to make mistakes when they respond, assuming they respond at all.

Lastly, try to abuse the enemy team’s lack of coordination. Invisibility tools such as Shadow Blade or Silver Edge are especially useful in low priority. It lets you get cheeky solo kills and forces the enemy team to discuss buying Dust of Appearance. Anything that forces the enemy to actually work as a team can result in another free victory.
