Valve it's time to stop. Region hoppers are an absolute epidemic

I'm done with this. No matter what region I play on (US WEST, US EAST) well over half the players in my bracket don't even speak english.

Well over 95% of the reported players don't speak english. Whether they are chinese, Peruvian, russian, whatever, these people grief infinitely more often than the native players and at best terrorize games they don't communicate it.

This shit needs enforced like yesterday. The fact that anytime anyone complains about a grief in their game and I can almost always guess without fail they are a foreign player means these people need to go.

Straight up region lock accounts for solo queue below 6k mmr, period. Wanna play with friends in party queue? Go ahead. Wanna solo queue? Sorry, not your region. You pick a region upon creation of your account and if you're flagged for language barrier you get banned. This singlehandedly stops the majority of boosting services, smurfs, and foreign griefers full stop.

This is not a difficult problem to solve at all. The only reason it's gotten this bad is pure negligence.

I am OK with longer queue times if I'm guaranteed to get a decently balanced games without foreign players. If everyone on my team speaks fluent English and plays, I will wait 12 minutes in queue for a game. This is absolute bullshit.
