Nix gave an honest assessment of Ringmaster and his prospects in Dota 2 matchmaking

Alexander "Nix" Levin, streamer and former esports player, evaluated Ringmaster and stated that he does not consider the new hero to be overpowered in Dota 2 matchmaking.

He shared this opinion during a Twitch stream.

"I wouldn't say he's overpowered. Rather, the hero is more of a gimmick"

Nix believes that the new hero cannot be labeled as overpowered; instead, he feels that the hero was added mainly for novelty and does not stand out significantly. According to him, Valve added Ringmaster "just for fun." This is supported by the hero's aspect, which currently provides no real benefit compared to other Dota 2 characters, putting him at a disadvantage.

Nevertheless, despite these shortcomings, Ringmaster is currently featured in almost every public match, and his win rate marks one of the best starts in the game's history.
