Your fault for playing, "one last game." Dota was always the best when the games were long. Every effort they made to shorten games has made the game worse than it used to be. That was one of dotas best trademarks. Long games back in the day. Now its just stomps and reflexes and drawn out strategy has no place. Thats whats wrong with dota these days.
