i dunno if im alone or not but it is not fun to always stomp or be stomped and the only way to have a come back ins not by playing better but getting lucky and them having an afk or throwing so hard you assume they started fighting eachother.
Make turrets more dangerous and tanky. Make ALL of them regen the same way a nexus turret does. Lower damage to turrets. Remove the runes that help kill turrets.
Icy Hot Shoto1 votesUnfortunately, Riot has been making everything about the game to be aimed towards pro play, and since apparently no one wanted to sit around and watch what could possibly have been an hour+ long game, that means making games take as little time as possible. Even if half of the player base complains about it.
Trust me, you're not the only one who's tired of having 10 minute games because someone dies once.
JeaneGreene1 votesAnd the funny thing is that it is making pro players more wary, instead of speeding up the game.

The first towers are getting more health and a new armor mechanic. Basically, towers are harder to take down in the early game, especially by multiple people, but there is a gold reward for staying in lane and attacking the tower rather than roaming for kills. Turrets also deal considerably more damage, making tower dives much more risky.
The goal is to make the laning phase longer and keep people in lane with their opponent to allow for more interaction. Even if a midlane assassin gets three kills early on, they won't be able to take the tower because of all the extra health and armor it has, and they won't be able to roam for value because their lane opponent can shove back and get a bunch of gold while they're gone.
There's also tweaks to minion scaling to make it easier to win without Baron, and a reworked bounty system to make comebacks easier.
5050BS1 votesThe Plating is not slowing the game down tho.
Basically if my jungler ganks and we get a kill or make then back I get free 300 gold from 2 plates.
If I get a kill its 600gp lead I get.
iiGazeii1 votesThe gold gets split between all nearby teammates and there's a "bulwark" passive that gives it scaling armor based on the number of enemies nearby for 20 seconds after a plate is destroyed. If your jungler sticks around to help you take the tower, the rewards are much less. If they leave to let you take the plates, you have less damage on the tower.
"Slowing the game down" does not mean "people get less gold". The new system enforces the length of the laning phase and prevents a few early kills from accelerating the game into the midgame. Normally, early kills gives someone the power to go roaming for kills and taking objectives, but doing that before those plates fall off gives your opponents room to come back from a gold deficit by pushing and taking plates while you are gone.
Warlord Rhinark1 votesI agree with the message but not with the methods.
vgamedude1 votesI think they shouldn't make it too slow though. One of the things I dont like about dota is that all matches seem to last over 40 minutes
Icy Hot Shoto1 votesWhile I don't want games to be too slow either, I'd take hour long games over "oh this person died once, enjoy he 10 minute loss."
Heck I'd rather have the old time back, which was around 35 minutes to an hour long for a normal game, or somewhere in that range, over what we have now.
CandiceuL1 votesNo but its not fun when you get a few kills and it just doesnt matter what you do anymore. Being effectively made dead weight because you had a failed invade or you are being hard camped and dived isnt fun. id say 35-45 is acceptable these shitty curb stomps are boring or frustrating with zero in between.

You should give dota a shot then you might really like it.
