Valve introduced a patch that created a honeypot within the game client, enticing cheaters to exploit it. Any accounts that interacted with this “secret” area within the client were subsequently banned, ensuring that the bans were well-deserved.
Valve’s commitment to maintaining a fair and enjoyable gaming environment is evident, and the company has urged players to report any suspicious behavior or unfair advantages observed in the game. The battle against cheaters and Smurf accounts continues as Valve remains dedicated to preserving the integrity of Dota 2 matches.
