NS has spoken out against major changes in Dota 2

Analyst and streamer Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov pondered on the release schedule of balance patches for Dota 2. He believes that developers should focus on minor adjustments and release updates more frequently.

"I am against significant changes. I think they only harm the game. Patches like 'New Horizons' with map expansion and the addition of new objects only spoil the game. But it constantly needs small changes. We need to shake the balance almost every month to keep the game fresh. That's for sure. <...>

Here's a person who loves playing Lich, and his hero has been dead for five years already. And nothing changes. He logs into Dota, but can't play. Constantly changing the balance is needed to make characters more lively. Otherwise, a person loses interest in playing. They pick a hero they like and struggle." - Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov

Earlier, NS commented on the current state of Dota 2. He stopped enjoying the game due to excessively long matches.
