Esports player Roman 'RAMZES666' Kushnarev discussed on his stream what changes he would implement in Dota 2 if given the opportunity to create the next patch. He remarked that the game is currently imbalanced and expressed frustration over the lack of core roles, noting that every role seems to have a significant impact. He pointed out that matches are often decided in 20 minutes, either resulting in a quick victory or defeat, with no room for dodging challenges.
Kushnarev mentioned that if he were in charge of Dota, he would focus solely on high-ranked players, as the experiences at low ranks vary significantly. He suggested that resetting the ranks would be beneficial, as the current situation is quite problematic. He believed that if he and Afoninje were to design the patch together, it would be an excellent one. Additionally, he expressed a desire to ban players who exploit the ranking system permanently by their IP addresses. Previously, he also shared his thoughts on the potential for Tundra Esports to secure first place at The International 2024 if they reach the grand final.
