Aren't there like almost 50 available? How would your described scenario ever happen? If you can play ~50 heroes merely to the point where you better afk in fountain to prevent feeding, then your team fucking deserved those -25. Obviously, I can see why one would be upset that a game mode was removed (Nere could have played RD ranked before too) so the only reason for this action I see is to make top MMR games more interesting. Clearly, games on that level technically concern only very few of us but perhaps Valve is sick of seeing the top MMR being inflated further.

Then maybe they can make it so if your MMR is higher than, let's say 5k, they disable all pick. This way us noobs can be happy playing dota.

It's only a couple days dude, how is it fair to disable AP for 5k+ only? Play unranked or play RD, you'll survive.

Just played captain's mode. Right when the game starts the captain and another guy says mid or feed then the captain not realizing he is the captain goes afk so no bans were picked for our team. The enemy team starts picking a dream team while our captain who returns eventually picks a team with only supports. I am done with dota until they bring all pick back, disabling all pick is such an idiotic move which I can't even comprehend, can't believe some people support it here.

Hah this happened to me. Captain goes afk we get no bans and random drafts which ended up being horrible whole the other team picked a perfect draft. Captain comes back and says he didn't realize he flagged captain

Oh my fucking god this OP

Think of it as an opportunity to try new heroes instead of playing the same thing over and over. Besides, RD hero pool is pretty large as it is (I believe originally was 30 and now is 40 (?)) so the probabilities of being able to play some hero you like is pretty high.

Yeah fuck that going to take a break from dota until all pick returns.

 

[NormalFish]

All Pick is shit for ranked. Cohesive drafting is half the game.

The problem is neither in captain's mode neither in RD you have any choice of which hero to pick everything is random. Why don't they bring single draft to ranked? at least that would allow some choice instead of full random.

But it's not full random...

Random Draft select a group of 50 heroes and allows you to select one of those. The only random factor is the hero pool itself, you are able to chose the hero you want to play from that hero pool (although it is significantly smaller than the AP -complete- hero pool).


edit: Info about game modes

You are mistaking All Random with Random Draft.

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

Maybe you should try playing RD once as you clearly don't know what it even is.

 

[KingKong]

Valve ruined random draft and now they're making everyone play it lol

Did Shugga get perm'd because of the high frequency of bans (he was, like, banned once every 90 days) or because he said something outrageous? His post history is just insanely long.

he lived a dangerous life, sometimes he would die then resurrect, until the mods of NeoGAF dot com said, "This shall be no more." and found the way to kill him permanently.

Spoiler

Yes, it was high ban frequency.

Not seeing what you're referring to, but sounds like American politics to me. Folks are too caught up in being vindictive or selfish to be reasonable.

Random draft with a 25 hero pool never felt restrictive...I dunno why people would complain about a 50 hero pool being restrictive.

Agreed. 50 heroes made random draft a lot less fun. I random every game, so I'm excited to play later based on peoples reactions to being limited to 50.
