I like small bits of action all over the map and a decent length game. Not just 5-man defend towers for the entirety of the game; or the famous "team dance" with two teams running back and forth facing each other too scared to engage (usually either at the river mid or up into a team's base). Its not much fun when people ball up as five as soon as they hit 6, smash a lane, rotate and smash, rotate and smash and then start looking for rax at the fifteen-twenty minute mark because nobody carries a TP in a pub so there's nothing to defend with. Theoretically you beat it by defending 3-4 and farming up a core separately. In practice pubs can't handle that and if someone tries to farm up a core whilst the rest of the team defends then inevitably someone will start cying "GG OUR CARRY NOT FIGHTING WITH US REPORT PLS". So in effect there's no way for a pub team to fight it except 5-man vs 5-man at a disadvantage; or to get in with a facerush first. | ||

Doesn't always work obviously, but I can't think of anything better if the enemy has stronger 5man. More often than not your team still feel the need to run downhill from base and engage the enemy team. | ||

On the other hand, a low hp AM going for last hits when LD reached level 5 is playing Russian roulette. | ||

I dont think dota players are nearly as irrational and you imply | ||
