What do you guys think about every 20 mins you are allowed 1 time out like in CS go. in General Discussion

    Just a simple 3 min break where you can calmly talk to your teammates about upcoming plays how to distribute jungle items effectively. Discuss ward spots and check in on everyone's buyback and item progression?

    I know people have normal pauses but those last so little and everyone is tilted during it. If this was a real feature in the game people will start to use it more effectively.

      The context in CSGO is very different. If you’re talking about matchmaking, each team only gets one pause per game, and it’s usually used for when someone disconnects. If you’re talking about pro play, that’s very different.
      Also, in Dota, it’s meant to be paced in such a way that pauses aren’t necessary to make tactical calls. A 3 minute mandatory break will kill momentum needlessly. Besides, the communication tools are there regardless of a pause. Voice chat and text chat exists. Lastly, if people are tilted during normal pauses, what makes you think they’ll be any different during the mandatory break?

        one of the more retarded ideas posed on this forum

        9o_o6

          funny how you call this a retarded idea. I posted about how neutral item stacking was a problem you legends call it a retarded idea. A few weeks later they remove it. I posted about how picks and ban counter picking is a problem and we should have hidden picks you legends called it a stupid idea a few weeks later they implemented it. I posted how side outpost were a huge problem and should be removed you called me stupid a patch later they removed it.
          You guys are so quick to shut down any idea like it makes yourself feel better rather than have a normal conversation.

          Yes I know in cs go and dota is very different. But what i am trying to say is like how in cs go you switch sides after 15 rounds. Dota becomes alot different after 20 mins. You are not way past laning phase and the game plan is different. yes there are communications and mic talks throughout the game but it is during high stress environment and alot of people are not paying attention. Also it is a feature not something that has to happen. Just like in csgo most games do not use the timeout ever. A 3 min timeout where it is uninterrupted by the enemy is not too much to ask. It can even be used for people that dc.

            Would be pretty boring to watch honestly, imagine every competitive game having to wait 3 minutes looking at nothing.

              Doesnt the same thing happen in csgo? The casters just uses this time to talk about item builds and strats.

                I dont think it's a terrible idea, but i wouldn't want it implemented.. 30 seconds would be enough.

                9o_o6

                  I am just saying if implemented it is a feature you can use. As for right now pauses in pro scene is consider bm and cheating. Where as if both sides are allowed it, it can be an actual feature and strategy.

                    Can think of many scenarios where it could be used to grief, but also thing about dota is tactical pauses legit are unfair as hell.

                    People would use it before a rosh fight/in middle of teamfights when about to be throned etc, when half the skill is how you naturally approach the fight.

                    CS:GO is very different, think of these timeouts as the picking stage of the game in dota. Not familiar with cs:go but i doubt you can do a timeout in the middle of an ongoing round.

                      You cannot you can only use it pre round. Which I stated it is avalible at 20 min marks and it will be gone afterward. What I see happening is around 15 mins you can request it and when 20 mins hits it will pause. So everyone knows it will happen.

                        very nice idea tbh, i always wanted a pause to have a little chat with my teammates. its very hard to play the game and explaining why they are waste of life at same time. with this feature problem solved

                          @Tyski makes a point. 3 mins is too long for that sort of tactical callouts. If at all, it should be 20 seconds max.
                          Also, what if there's an engagement happening around that time? Or is that part of your "tactics", to start a clash then have it pause in the middle so you can regroup your thoughts.
                          And in CSGO, that happens in between rounds. There are no "rounds" in Dota. Unless you want to add that completely arbitrary time, to essentially signify where early game ends and midgame begins.
