Due to the map changes (extra camps, tormentor, wisdom rune, multiple bounty runes), relatively large sums of money being rewarded from killing heroes and the low mana cost of most abilities (resulting in faster farming and not having to visit base) I feel like most dota 2 matches progress too fast. It almost feels like a match of turbo from a couple years prior is now a normal dota 2 match. Almost all of my recent games (wins and losses) have been finished within 40 minutes, with an average of 32 minutes. I havent seen a tier 5 jungle item in the past three months. Pos 1 and 2 are just about 6 slotted 30-35 minutes into the game. It just all feels so fast to me.
I've been playing dota 2 for over 10 years and although I'm happy with all the patches and improvements over the years, I just wish the average time per match would go up and not down. Of course I dont want a return of the 70+ minute games, but 32 is just way too short. Anyway, what are your thoughts on the matter? Is average gametime okay now or would you also like so see some changes that will result in matches being longer than they are now?
