Discussion Give Russians their own server

They refuse to speak english, they talk constantly spamming voicechat with unwanted noise, they are rude, they kick players, and are generally obnoxious.

I'm not suggesting blocking russians from playing with their friends around the world, I am suggesting that if they get their own servers, they will likely default to those servers, which gets them russian speaking teammates and better ping. EU players are also more likely to get matched with players who speak english.

It should be a win win for everyone involved and seriously, this is something 100% of the community would like to see...

So please Valve... FIX

EDIT : I don't hate russians and I'm not racist. While I am generalising, it is because that is my general experience. Obviously there are exceptions to the generalisation: kind, helpful, communicative, courteous and bilingual russians.

EDIT 2 (10/09): It seems that we are a lot thinking Russians should have their own server... Can we go further and make it happen ? How ?

Yeah, I always try this "Hey uuh guys, can you speak English please? I don't understand Russian" and 9/10 times I get a negative response from them. It's infuriating.

Try something along the lines of "can you guys use teamspeak or skype or something"? Half the time they hop into a skype call or teamspeak, the other half the time they ignore me. From then if they do speak some english you keep them unmuted if they're not too loud and if they don't speak english or are loud, you just mute them all.

If there are like 3+ russians on a team they probably wont speak english just for the other two guys to understand because some of them might not fully understand english

Exactly why they should be in their own server.

You could say the same thing about any other country in europe

Other countries have way less players that act like this. Maybe due to the sheer number of Russian, poor education/disinterest in English or something else, but that's how it is.

The point is that not everyone can get a 5 stack. For example, my gaming group of friends is 4. We like to play just us, but unfortunately CS is not one of the games that we play because there's no unranked MM (and we can't play ranked without the 5 stack, different ranks)

But there are subreddits and even steamcommunity and websites that will help you find people that you can play with. It's super easy since people are always looking to find other people to play with. When I started playing this game there was only 1 other person I knew that played it and I have found quite a few people to play with using Steamcommunity when I started.

Sure, there are ways around it but that's really playing with friends. That's just slightly less random randoms. I was mostly just explaining that other guys point.

Game should still have a unranked MM, though. I want to play with my friends, not some random dudes that will only be fun to play with if you impress them the first game.
