Alexander "Nix" Levin said that Dota 2 was "dead" due to the Matchmaking system (matching) that was facing too many problems, and advised that new players should not step into the game if they do not intend to become a professional player.

This famous streamer speaks in a livestream on Twitch:

“Titan play is starting from 7k MMR? While the Top-1 person has 15k-meaning you have to climb 9K from 5k landmarks, but there is no double token anymore. I don't understand-it takes 10 years?

But now Top-1 is 17k, not 15k? This is really crazy. It took you a decade just to plow every +25 MMR per game. How long does it take to imagine how long it takes from 5k to 17k?

But even if you have good winrate, you will still have a series of losses. But now 15k MMR can't even get into the top 100? Really frustrated. Forget it, Dota is dead. As long as Valve has not fixed Matchmaking, playing games is meaningless. Unless you want to become a player. ”

NIX emphasized that MMR inflation is making the game too heavy and unrealistic for normal players. The removal of the double token system also makes climbing the rank become slow and extremely time -consuming, making many people frustrated.

Although this streamer does not specify what Valve should change specific in Matchmaking, but he thinks that if the system is not seriously reconstructed, Dota 2 will continue to drop and become less attractive to new players.

Previously, Nix also shared the reason for Topias "Topson" Taavitsainen no longer wanted to return to Dota 2 professional play.
