Former esports player Ilya “Lil” Ilyuk took to his social media to express his dissatisfaction with match balance following the Dota 2 calibration and discussed the challenges of playing on the “Titans” map.

On matches after the recalibration

I’m not at 80% confidence yet; matches are worth 40 PTS (37-35-30, and it keeps going down until I reach 80%)
And just so I don’t get too comfortable, it throws these “BALANCED” games
at me. So, if this were a normal game, I’d be playing at +40 -10, but I have to play at +40 -40
. And there are about 15
games like that. No fun at all

On match balance in “Titans”

I wanted to play only on support, but when I’m at 8k (rank 600), my team gets matched with 1k+ noobs, while the enemy team always has players at rank 500
. So no support until 8,500

Earlier, streamer Artur “Arteezy” Babaev criticized Lil after an incident in Dota 2 matchmaking: “This guy is looking for a team for The International qualifiers, but he’s cheating in public matches just for 30 MMR points. What a despicable creature you are, Lil.”
