Heroes will never become esports.

Yes, it's harder to play perfectly on a mirrored map with the same timer compared to, say, Jebel or HLU. But the point isn't to play perfectly, but to play better than your opponent, taking into account all factors, including the timer.

So, let's not bring up this issue again and again. There are as many opinions as there are people; we need to settle on something. These extra 30 seconds per turn won't fundamentally change anything.

Heroes will never become esports or a widely popular sport! Accept it! Therefore, who should it be for? For me, Heroes is a pleasure, not a job!

The question is, where are your much-touted 2x or more hour-long delays?
The illusion of a long turn arises precisely during long battles, i.e., not battles of 10-20 seconds, but of 40-60 seconds. This aspect has the greatest impact on the duration of turns/games.

In chess, the point is not to play perfectly, as this is generally impossible, but to play better than the opponent. However, all the most prestigious chess tournaments are still held in classical format, not blitz or even rapid chess.

After the introduction of time control, the limit has been constantly reduced:
initially, in the late 19th century, it was 2 hours for every 20 moves;
in the first half of the 20th century, they often played with a control of 2 hours for the first 30 moves and 1 hour for every 15 moves thereafter;
by the second half of the 20th century, the limit was reduced to 2.5 hours for the first 40 moves and 1 hour for every 16 moves thereafter;

Now, the standard limit for classic chess is 2 hours for 40 moves, then 1 hour for the next 20 moves, and another 30 minutes until the end of the game, or 2 hours for 40 moves, followed immediately by 30 minutes to 1 hour until the end of the game.

It's funny to read about "the beauty of the numbers on the buttons when we introduce standard timers."

Question: Can we implement restrictions on the aforementioned heroes, as was done in War of the Wizards (heroes cannot be leveled up beyond level 5)?

I'll sign up for the hotu tournament when the timer is 8+4+1 or less, to demonstrate DOMINANCE! If no one is ready after a week, and I don't change my mind, and Dёrti doesn't object, then I'll open a parallel tournament on SOD with a normal timer.

My question about canceling the guild restructuring remains unanswered.

What was the logic behind the decision? What arguments for and against were considered?

The argument against is that restructuring doesn't restructure symmetrically. Spells in the guild are synchronized, but what they will restructure into is pure randomness.

just do 40+20+10 right away and call them slowpokes ;) I think a large number of people will join.
