The em games usually aren't faster. You just level up, gain gold quicker faster which is kinda gay imo. The early game is definitely my favorite part of hon/dota regardless of what hero I am.
And it's also usually where most nubs fuck up cause they can't last hit, deny, ward river/creep spots, etc.

Yeah. Well when I say faster, I mean as in you get items faster. Which results in killing people earlier in the game, which results in the base going down earlier.

The base won't go down any quicker. The enemy team is gaining extra gold at the same rate you are.
As I said before, you're really just pushing the game into mid/late game sooner which is incredibly imbalanced with carry heroes.
