For this reason, Valve separated Russian players from European ones 2 months ago - because of the language barrier, as there were many complaints, but do not forget that the same Ukrainians speak Ukrainian/Russian in games and they do not live in Russia, the same Kazakhstan and the CIS countries also play on European servers with English-speaking people.

Separation hurts a lot, they did it with all of a Russia even in Far Eastern region which makes impossible to find games since we can play with ourselves because this playerbase is horrendously small. Makes queue times go up to few hours at worst, 20 mins at best. We can't even play with European part of russia. Just a small rant hoping for devs to notice struggles in the ass of the world.

Bump, this just ruined my evening. Only time they spoke English was to scream racist slurs, and telling everyone they were bad and we should forfeit. Just wanted to play the game, but I gave up after this.

This does of course not apply for all Russians, that goes without saying I think. But 90% of the time the above happens, unfortunately they have Russian names.

In the game, there are people from all over Europe, and the only issue is with the Russian-speaking people. I am yet to hear any other non-English language being a problem on voice chat.
This does not mean all people from Russia/Ukraine do this, but that vocal minority does a disfavor to all normal people from that region who just wanna play and behave.
