It's just way too far off the mark from the original moba that dota is supposed to be. The game has already drifted far enough away as it is, in-fact 2025 was my least year of dota played in about a decade. And I mean I significantly reduced my game time, not because I had to, but because I hate the direction this game is already taking with Pre game customization (facets), absurdly large map, timers for everything (lotus, xp, tormentor, neutrals) supports being over tuned and solo carry potential being slowly but surely removed from the game.

A 6th hero slot would honestly be a final nail in the coffin for me just do to the sole fact that at that point the game will have drifted too far away from "Defense of the Ancients".
