Dota 2 adds dedicated botting category to player reports

Dota 2 players can now report suspected automated accounts through a dedicated botting category in the game client.

The addition expands the reporting menu and gives players a specific option when they believe an account is being controlled by automation.

A separate category for suspected bots

Previously, players reporting suspected bot activity had to select another available misconduct category. The new option distinguishes those complaints from reports involving cheating, griefing or communication abuse.

CyberScore reported the addition on November 13 following its appearance in the client.

Enforcement details remain unclear

The introduction of the category does not establish how Valve will investigate individual reports or what thresholds could trigger action.

No confirmed details accompanied the report about review procedures, penalties or whether cases would be routed through Overwatch. Those mechanisms remain unspecified.
