Patch Notes ELI5: AFK Farming is discouraged; Role Queue Farming now requires Trying!

Valve should have learned by now that trying to baby people for Arbitrary reasons in dota either flat out doesnt work, or has the polar opposite effect as of what was intended.

Im still not even sure why role queue has tokens to begin with. I know its to force people to fill the support slots in games, but all it does is encourage griefing, intentional or unintentional as most carry players (me included back in the day) just did the bored and would pick arrow lady for 20 games when it was role queue time.

I have genuinely no clue whos smoking crack and decided doubling the amount of games you play for playing heroes you probably aren't familiar with is a thing. Maybe valve just want to remove role queue as a whole and doesn't want to upset the redditors?
