NS lashed out and heavily criticized Valve's controversial decision in Dota 2

Yaroslav "NS" Kuznetsov, streamer and former esports player, expressed his frustration with Valve's decision to make Tinker the new meta hero in Dota 2 following the release of patch 7.37.

He shared his feelings during a Twitch stream.

"I can't say it's impossible to play against Tinker as a support, though partly it is. It's incredibly frustrating. I wouldn't call it broken, but it's just another annoying ****, of which there have been so many in 'Dota' over the years. It feels like the game can't exist without adding some kind of irritating ****. They remove old Techies, and then add some other **** to annoy everyone. They'll remove that, and add yet another one. It seems like they nerfed Tinker, made him balanced, but somehow they've managed to make him frustrating again. The music didn't play for long"

NS believes that Valve's decision to once again buff Tinker has negatively impacted matchmaking. The hero had already frustrated the Dota 2 community with balance issues, and players were relieved when he was nerfed to a playable level. However, developers have reverted to old problems, which diminishes the experience of playing in patch 7.37.

Previously, a Team Spirit analyst identified the strongest hero for the fifth position in the latest gameplay update for Dota 2.
