NS explained why players lose MMR in Dota 2 matchmaking

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov said that players in matchmaking often continue to play in a negative emotional state after a series of defeats, which only exacerbates the situation.

The streamer shared his opinion on Twitch.

“He lost a game or two, he's in a bad mood, everything annoys him, he logs into the game, starts ruining it, loses a third game, and his mood gets even worse.”

Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov describes this state as a separate form of mental disorder, when a player deliberately worsens their emotional state. According to the content creator, this happens because people play Dota 2 too much.

“That is, he is engaged in masochism, he makes himself suffer more. Not someone else, but himself. These are mental disorders, in a sense, I think. People play Dota too much and they lose their minds.”

The content creator also believes that, in their desire to win at any cost, such players often make mistakes in the decisive moments of the match, which leads to the defeat of the entire team, despite the efforts of their teammates.

Earlier, Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov commented on the composition of Odium Ilya “Lil me alone” Ilyuk, comparing the esportsman's team to Danila “Dendi” Ishutin’s B8.
