DotA has taken a blow to the face the past few months with a number of critics pointing out its imperfections --- mainly the game's length. The competitive DotA community has always wanted that perfect map, one with all the necessary changes, one that you know will make DotA a better game both to watch and play.

According to the majority of the community, that perfect map is here (6.55). Although it has not been put into league play yet, most competitive players have expressed that the map seems promising in every way.
