More games by faster games!

Nov 29, 2011 - by Strom

The dominating voice in the last poll requests for more games. The most obvious way to get more games is to get more people and I will certainly try to make that happen. However there are also alternative ways to increase the game count, e.g. by making games faster. The rules state that if a team surrenders, they must wait near their fountain for the other team to finish off the throne. This changes today, as I am happy to announce the release of Repel 1.7.0 which introduces a big feature which removes the requirement to wait around and ends the game immediately.

Sweet!
It would be nice also if we did not have to wait until the twenty-fifth minute to forfeit, maybe make it 15-20?

Am I the only one who thinks that in every single game people are forfeiting at 10 min mark without even trying to win the game? Also I don't think that the forfeit rule will bring us a significant amount of more games, as it only takes a minute or so to wait till the throne/tree is destroyed.

But anyways, looking forward for future updates!

I think that lowering the time to join and the time that game starts(you know that 1 min) will get games started faster, because usually when a person joins a game he can join it within much less than 3 minutes if he is at his computer and if he is not then the 3 minute waiting time just delays the game.

-1 on bringing the FF time lower. We dont need more people forfeiting games not lost.

I agree on not shortening the forfeit rule for the reason stated above.

The site "http://www.dota-league.com/" have closed. Is not it possible to make some "connection" from this address (http://www.dota-league.com/) to this site (http://www.dota-gc.com)? I think this may lead a lots of people (well skilled) here.
