    With all this new crap, "Strategy time" and "Tower showdown" - Wtf is this trash? Why do we need strategy time and what are these stupid towers that look phallic shaped?

    Let the damn game start already

    Also increase AFK gold from -2 a sec to -3.

    Between this and 4-5 minute queues, newbs pausing because some peruvian's PC crashed, and the 20 minute pubstomps that are one sided, you're literally waiting for the games to start 40% of the time you're in Dota 2.

      So you probably dont rememer the times when players were connecting to the game for ages and still someone always failed to connect so you literally lost much more time than you do now.

      But people will be always bitching.
      Get used to it and move on.

            That transforming tower screen kind of got annoying pretty quickly, but it'll be gone soon so whatever.

              They will get rid of Tower Showdown after the Battle Pass.
              Besides that, there is nothing wrong with the current way of handling before the game..

                  Queuing is only 30 seconds instead of 2 min so u save a total of 1 min from. Before 700 to now.

                          This reason why i dont play this fucking game for week. Tower transformation looks like a peniiiis getting circumcised. Fucking gay trash valve think they can increase income buy showing display of useless tower. People buy batlepass for cosmetic of heroes not towers

                          We just released an updated hero and facet statistics page featuring more data and advanced filters. Oh, and it supports Turbo!
