RodjER criticized matchmaking in Dota 2

Vladimir "RodjER" Nikogosyan expressed dissatisfaction with the current matchmaking system and demanded the return of a proper dodge list.

The corresponding statement was made by the former L1ga Team member during a personal broadcast on Twitch.

"Darn, they even take away 30-40 MMR. I don't like this system. It's just idiotic. Bring back a proper dodge list so I can dodge these guys and never see them again. Why should I play with them? It's just the system, but Valve doesn't care about it. It's important for them that everyone just queues up and clicks 'search', and they don't care about the game quality."

In April 2023, Valve released update 7.33, which updated matchmaking for the "Titan" rating. Now, the teams in it are formed by two captains who alternately choose allies for themselves, regardless of the preferences of other players in the match. Due to these changes, the dodge list stopped working at this rank, which caused dissatisfaction among many esports players.

Recall that earlier, Vladimir "RodjER" Nikogosyan assessed the quality of content from Team Spirit, calling it useful for beginner Dota 2 players.
