Like- excessively faster than people wanted?
Been looking at a few clips, and when I started and fell directly on a level 2 iron generator it gave me 16 iron. I tested the same map just now, and it gave me 25 iron which is quite a bit over what it used to be.
To be clear, I don't know the exact time intervals the generation rate used to be, but it is the generation speed and not a longer generation time before the game starts that makes it have more iron at the beginning.
I've heard some rushers who prefer them to be as fast as they are now, but I personally think that they're a bit too fast. Normal mode is fine, since items are a bit more expensive it doesn't make the game speed up more than what OP games used to be like. In OP mode, you can gear up a lot quicker which leads to a more fast-paced game than it used to be.
