"So, you want to play competitive matchmaking and your friends are offline, or maybe you have no-one to play with in the first place? Well, better endure up to an hour of Russians who can't play and trolls.

Seriously, it's actually like this, and although Russian sounds pretty stereotypical now it's so not. I've played 5 matches this week without friends, and at least 3 people on the team have "Russian Federation" in their profile.

This is seriously ruining the game for me and I'm sure many other, as we join games and can't communicate, can't play with a good team, and quite a lot of the time get put with a bunch of trolls who will either block you or just be a general idiot.

Please valve, add a filter for regions (EU,NA,SA,AU,RU,ETC). You've done so much to make this a good game but can't even add a filter, it's honestly pretty pathetic considering the games been out a good 2 years, almost more now."
