Posts that relate to topics with their own thread, such as in News, Tournaments or Strategy should go in those threads.

It's by XP gain. If you don't gain XP (or weren't in a situation where you would gain XP if you're level 25) for 5 minutes you count as AFK.

I believe death was added a while ago as a restart to the timer exactly to stop people from getting abandon while dying in fountain?

I'm pretty sure there's something in place that forces an abandon on you for afking being fountain camped even though your not going to be near xp range.

Eh, I dunno how demon stole the prize money. As I understand it, the firt price is a (long?) sponsorship deal. I think he would be stealing more of it if he stayed, tbh. Also, one could argue Demon brought as much publicity to korea dota as team zephyr.

People saying fountain diving is part of the game must forget that in Wc3 you could hide behind your stash in the trees and be safe for the most part. Dota 2 has nothing of the sort.

I also hate how there is such a short afk punishment, sometimes a game is over and due to lack of concede you just want to wait it out in fountain which can take ages. I feel like if a player is afk for 5 minutes the team should get a vote kick option.

Extended fountain camping feels beyond stupid for me - no matter if I am on the winning team or not. It just drags out a game that is over so a few people can extend their e-penis. It does not ruin the game for me, but it adds a few minutes or boredom to the games while forcing people to not go afk to avoid an abandon.

fountain camping is a time honored tradition of dota
my grandfather did it when he first arrived on these shores and created a constitution that says a man is free to fountain camp
he taught my father to do it
and my father taught me to do it
and if you think im gonna let some new college educated fancy liberal internet users take away the right to fountain camp that we earned then youre a terrorist communist red terror muslim anti freedom anti liberty anti fun legend league player

Buffing the fountain area would also decrease the amount of throw potential. How would my friends throw if there wasn't a fountain to dive!??!

Also, use it as #motivation to improve and never get fountain camped again.
