I mean if someone is meaningfully behind in CS, they'll lose regardless of the rule, so all it does is forcibly end close matches.

i mean it also changes the balance of asymmetrical power curves

your idea of "nuances of lategame 1v1" is completely opaque to me because you still haven't laid out your full preferred ruleset

a concrete example of such a nuance would be nice

3 kills/2 tower no time limit 1/2/2/1 bans, no bottle crow no SR

No runes if it's a mirror, otherwise it doesn't really matter.

Some mirrors are different e.g. there's almost zero point playing SF mirror past FB because dying once is super hard to recover from in that matchup.

Thing with lategame 1v1 is that its so different from normal DotA theres just a bunch of crazy shit that works and its fun to see how high level players view the game when there's actually enough gold in game to finish major items and not just laning shit.

there is an enormous amount of overhead involved in running a firm.
my dad bills around 450 but actually takes home far less then that after paying for private investigations, attorney fees, etc etc etc

yeah but when ur paralegal bills for 3x his hourly salary...

I mean, its likely double if I add in my health insurance and benefits. And I don't bill out a lot. I free up time so attorneys cause because our clients approve case time by the hour, not by the fixed sum. I don't know the reason for this weird thing with banks, but they all do it.

haste runes and dd runes (and to an extent, illu and regen) can be match-turning, regardless of whether it's a mirror or not, i'd think... especially if it's yes bottle but no bottle crow

what do you think the most banned heroes in this mode would be? jakiro/rhasta/broodmother/...?

plus, even with 8 bans, i'd still think the lastpicker would have an adv

Last pick always has advantage which is why you play BoX with 1 mirror so each player is FP equal number of times.

Runes obv matter but rune control is usually lopsided 1 way or another to begin with in non-mirrors so when both players chance different runes the hero that should come out ahead often does anyway esp with Bounty rune in the game.

Eh, its fine and better than nothing. Love or hate the time, it pretty much clears up what games like Dota/SC2/LoL/Tank Moba are.

Unless a major figure of the English language like Merriam-Webster or Oxford picks it up I wouldn't be too amazed.
