Community caster Yaroslav “NS” Kuznetsov noted that the reset should be seasonal:
“Okay, I get it—they just flattened the rating. No, wait, actually, that’s right—it should be a seasonal measure to keep the rating from skyrocketing to 20,000. I’m at 6,600 now, which is trash, by the way <...>”
Former esports coach Timur “Ahilles” Kulmukhambetov shared his thoughts on the changes:
Hahahahaha
THANKS, VALVE.
YOU HEARD MY WORDS + WHINING.
I’VE BEEN BEGGING FOR AN MMR RESET FOR OVER A YEAR NOW.
NOW WE’RE ALL EQUAL
—WE’RE ALL IN THE SHIT
Caster Maxim “Shachlo” Abramovskikh was happy about the return of role-based matchmaking:
In Dota, the MMR cap has been lowered. It went from 11k to 7,200, but my rank stayed the same. But now I can use role-based matchmaking and play in parties with friends. This is the best change Valve has made to Dota in the last 5 years—hurray, comrades! No more torture with Immortal draft mode
Earlier, Team Yandex offlaner Dmitry “DM” Dorokhin commented on the MMR reset in Dota 2: “The MMR reset will help new talent emerge in this wonderful game, since now they won’t have to grind their way up to 15,000–16,000.”
