Passion UA midlaner Bogdan «Iceberg» Vasylenko criticized players who exploit MMR in Dota 2. He urges the developers to address this issue.
«I am ready to kneel before anyone who can solve the problem by resetting the rankings. To completely remove abusers who are somehow connected with Dota.
Do you know how they abuse the ranking now? Ten people from Discord choose a region where no one plays. They end up in a match against each other and use the double-down token. The losers get -25, and the winners get +50, then they switch places. This creates a loop where people earn 25 points in two matches. That’s the entire Dota 2 ranking system», — Bogdan «Iceberg» Vasylenko.
Previously, Team Spirit support player Miroslaw «Mira» Kolpakov detailed how to climb the ranks in Dota quickly. According to him, players should closely follow professional esports players and replicate their builds. This approach is suitable for users with less than 6-7 thousand MMR.
