I don't see anything wrong with the new changes; shorter games was the goal with the new base design, so when that third laser tower made the games longer instead, it was changed to fulfill the original purpose. Unless you're playing with perfectly equal teams, or at least near equal in skill, the games are of course going to be shorter. And in regard to the comment on the mine defuser: teleport breaker is 300 (am I right on this?) and it stops the 3000 gold teleporter; radar is 1000 and it stops the 3000 gold smoke machine. Counters to items are usually less expensive than the original items being countered, so I don't see what you're whining about. Everyone else is right, wait more than a day before calling everything that was changed a ruination of the game. I do agree with TKF's suggestion though; two mortar teams would make that item more balanced, since the mortars have a reduced cooldown; the extra gold you're paying is for the aura creep and the extra slot, which is more than fair.
You may notice that some of my posts are somewhat disconnected in their ideas and don't really flow that well. That's because my mind drifts around like a jellyfish in a strong ocean current. You just lost the game.
