Natus Vincere Manager: “I feel sorry for the discipline I love”

CS LANs are just so wonderful—I watch the opening ceremony and get goosebumps. Our LANs, with their closed booths and no spectators, don’t even come close to that atmosphere.
I love Dota as a game, but right now I’m fed up—
I used to come to a game where I could trade or sell items with a single click, check the profiles of both my allies and opponents before a match — see their top 3 heroes and their streaks with them, check their recent games, and even ban or counter-pick in advance—and I didn’t need any banned programs; everything was accessible and visible,
then I could go to Dota TV and watch matches comfortably without endless loading screens, follow my favorite streamer, then switch over to a friend to watch his terrible game and troll him—and I didn’t have to deal with broken features to do any of that,
There was a rating reset and a new season;
there was a compendium that was so good it gave me a huge dopamine rush; then I’d get an item with the player’s nickname and match stats, and I’d go in, check any stats for the hero I needed, and head off to play,
Oh, and what’s more, I could immediately see clean, uncluttered info about my heroes without needing Dota+, and right away—without any fiddling or restrictions—I could see how many PTS I’d earned.
I feel sorry that new players don’t even know that all of Dota’s functionality used to actually work; I feel sorry for the discipline that I love
