If I mute someone in a public matchmaking game in DotA 2 (from the in-game menu, clicking the microphone button to make it red), will this persist into other DotA 2 games?

    You mean from dota 2 to portal 2, for example? I doubt so.... this doesn't make a lot of sense, since different games are different and behaviour of people as well.

    Given @enche's use of "game" in "public matchmaking game," it seems like they're referring to future Dota 2 matches.

Yes, if you are muted by someone, you will be muted from their perspective when you meet again. It works the other way as well! If you mute someone during a game, they will be muted until you physically unmute them. It is persistent across all matches.

    I can confirm this. I've been grouped with someone I both muted and blocked before in ranked matches. The mute persists. (Giving a very confusing first 10 minutes of the second game, trying to figure out whom my other 3 teammates were talking to.)

They do in all of Valve's other multiplayer games, so I'm going to assume Yes until presented evidence otherwise.

    By "persist into other games" I'm assuming you mean other DOTA2 matches as opposed to say, mutes from DOTA2 carrying over to CS:GO.

  • I can confirm that they do; I've gone into games where another player was already muted due to my doing so in a previous game.

Yes it persists into future matches. Also as I recall you could leave the game without getting an abandon(A.K.A. dodging a player). Although they fixed it because of abuses :p
