Esports player Roman "RAMZES" Kushnarev criticized Valve for Dota 2's matchmaking. He stated that he doesn't have a separate list of users he would prefer not to encounter in ranked matches.
"If Dota doesn't care that I have to play three matches in a row without a dodge list against nobodies, and they just can't add it for high MMR, that's not my problem. Scumbags just don't care. Again, I'm going to get last-picked against. <...>
No, no, we don't need a dodge list. What are we talking about? I have to play three matches in a row with unbearable players like hetag and 7jesu. You could name a billion of such people. <...> No need for a dodge list, why? I'll play two matches with such scumbags, why not?" - Roman "RAMZES" Kushnarev
Previously, Kushnarev named the best hero for beginners in Dota 2, which is Wraith King.
In mid-May 2024, RAMZES joined Tundra Esports as a stand-in, replacing offlaner Tobias "Tobi" Buchner. Kushnarev's debut for the club will take place at DreamLeague Season 23.
