Dota 2 Low Priority Guide: How to Get Out and What You Need to Know
Encountering Low Priority (LP) in Dota 2 is a form of punishment that restricts players to Single Draft mode and matches them with other penalized players. This system aims to improve the gaming community by addressing disruptive behavior.
Common reasons for receiving Low Priority:
- Abandoning matches
- Receiving multiple reports from other players
- Exhibiting toxic behavior
- Having unstable internet connection
- Getting disconnected frequently
To escape Low Priority, you must win a specific number of matches in Single Draft mode. The number of required wins varies based on your behavior:
- First offense: 1-2 wins
- Repeated offenses: 3-5 wins
- Severe cases: 5+ wins
Tips to avoid Low Priority:
- Maintain stable internet connection
- Complete all matches you start
- Communicate positively with teammates
- Report technical issues before abandoning
- Take breaks if experiencing connectivity problems
Best practices while in Low Priority:
- Stay focused and positive
- Communicate effectively with teammates
- Pick heroes you're comfortable with
- Play support roles if needed
- Avoid toxic behavior to prevent additional penalties
Remember that Low Priority matches don't count towards Battle Pass progress or achievements. The best strategy is to maintain good behavior and stable connection to avoid the penalty altogether.
Prevention is always better than dealing with Low Priority. Practice good sportsmanship and ensure your setup meets technical requirements before queuing for matches.
