IP bans will be reconsidered on a case-by-case basis if you were running a bot and did not understand the consequences, but typically not for spamming, hacking, or other abuse. If you are responsible for one of the above issues.
Having an excessive number of banned accounts in a very short timeframe. Running a web bot/spider that downloaded a very large number of pages - more than could possibly justified as "personal use". Automated spam (advertising) or intrustion attempts (hacking). The “huge update” is not far off now according to the blog post, and now Diretide is coming with it.Your current IP address has been blocked due to bad behavior, which generally means one of the following: Evidently, Valve has been working on a “huge update” for a while and they pushed Diretide aside in order to make progress on this update. Well, Valve has finally responded as to the lack of an event in a new blog post.įirst of all, Diretide is still coming, just a tad late. People naturally overreacted, complaining everywhere they could and even review-bombin the Dota 2 Metacritic page. This year, however, Halloween came and went with no mention of a new Diretide. It was a great distraction from the traditional game which required a good amount of strategy to see success (also gave a lot of items). However, Roshan would roam around the map, targeting random heroes until he got some candy himself. For those unaware, last year at Halloween time, Valve released and event called Diretide, which saw players collecting candy pieces from around the map and depositing them into their candy buckets. A lot of Dota 2players have lamented the lack of a Diretide event this year.
