This is why Dota is the best MOBA
>one ability from making an OP builld
>teammate takes it right before my turn
It's fun when you can get some good abilities.
>dota champs are so homogenous that they can run a toxic gamemode like this
Because it lets a scum company monetize maps people made in WC3 for free?
>>331627737
ability draft isnt a custom game mode.
its in the main game.
>>331627483
If this mode became the standard ruleset in LoL I don't think they'd even notice.
>>331630226
Why did you reply to me?
>>331627483
>People only ever choose the passives
Yeah, great game mode
>>331633745
>pick all passives
>teams are laughing
>end up raping everyone
>ability draft
How does that even work? Can't you just ban out ultimate then? Is dota 2 balance so broken that they actually need an ability banning phase?

>>331633745
>his hidden MMR is so bad that he plays with shitters in ability draft
>>331633830
no banning phase
everyone takes turns picking an ability from the list
obviously you can only pick one ultimate and 3 standard abilities, or you can pick 4 standard abilities if you're retarded
>>331627483
>impetus and strafe
image the horror
>>331633830
You take turns picking 1 ability at a time. You're only allowed 1 ultimate.
>everyone tries to build an autoattack hero
>that one faggot that gets away with high burst build
this gamemode is basically people stepping all over eachother trying to build what they think is the broken build
>>331633964
>this gamemode is basically people stepping all over eachother trying to build what they think is the broken build
thats the point of this gamemode tho
>storm spirit ult with earthshaker passive
most fun I have ever had
each unit of movement with zip applies the stun
Ability draft is great, but why oh fucking why are people always so tryhard nofunallowed in that gamemode
>people who pick only passives
>people who afk jungles
>people who afk farms in general
>people who constantly whines about abilities
>people who just don't want to have fun with some weird/op skill combinations
I've had so many bad experiences with AD, I just want to have fun, I mean if you lose you lose, gamemode aint balanced or anything
>>331627483
>that guy that takes "jungling" skills on a hero with 1 base armor and 50 base damage.
Grats, you have treants with a shitty mana pool, shit damage and no global teleport.
>>331627673
nice one lol baby
that game mode is not balanced and the only thing preventing you from building a broken build is other people stealing your shit on purpose
>>331627483
>Can't pick your base hero
Shit mode. Go ahead, try having a match with heroes that have shitty stats growth like Slark or Alchemist against enemies with bullshit overpowered base hero like Silencer with innate intelligence steal. Not fun at all.
>>331634723
Luck is also a skill.
>>331634723
It is fun if you actually have stuff that makes up for the lack of base stats. Sure, not as fun as someone with a good base hero, I admit that, but it can still be fun.
Greevil Greed, Terrorblade shape shift, conjure illusions and Alch ult was fun when I played a game as Alch.
>>331633964
It's almost always a bad idea to build a hard carry if you're a melee.
>>331627737
> a mod got made into a fully fledged game.
This isn't an argument I hear coming from the original creator, who has absolutely nothing to do with LoL OR Dota.
Tbqh super-jungle sounds amusing.
>>331635170
It's extra satisfying if you managed to win with shit heroes or win against op builds.
>>331627483
Whatever you day dmitri

That's not Bloodline Champtions, where you have to actually aim your every shot.
>Someone picks Spiritbreakers ult
>It does nothing
Everytime
>>331637076
fuck this game, why is it so dead
maybe battlerite...

Happens to me about 50% of the time.
>>331637156
Because it doesn't cater to the casuals and has no marketing.
Haven't heard of Battlerite until now, are they going for a similar game?
>tfw rearm sacrifice on tinker
Enemy team was level 6 when we were 18. Glorious.
There are a lot of highs and lows in AD but man are the highs really high.
>bristleback
>get quill spray, earthshaker passive, whirling death, and ice blast
50+ kills. it was disgusting
>>331637443
google it
seems like the same game so far with different graphics
I loved BLC's design with those Aztec/Mayan/whatever stuff so I'm not really hyped
>>331627483
yeah yeah yeah you're relevant don't worry
>>331627483
>ranged carry with baseline crit and walrus punch
JUST
Because of a janky mode that more often than not leaves your kit broken and useless because Valve can't into spell programming?
>>331637505
>enchanted totem, walrus punch, shadowblade
>insta kill
sucks they removed Tusk
>>331637612
You are really, really shit at criticism.

>>331637476
AD lets you pick rearm? That's retarded.
Now I kinda want to play with rearm + tombstone or pugna ward
>>331637732
Read the thread, constant posts about "lol this spell doesn't even work unless I fit specific criteria".
>>331633901
Impetus + take aim + Dragon range item
>>331637794
Once got rearm treants sprout sacrifice
Literally filled my side of the river with treant.
>>331627483
>HOW CAN WE LOWER THE CHANCES OF GETTING A GOOD GAME EVEN MORE?
>LET'S MAKE ABILITY DRAFT!
There's like a 15% chance of getting a good game. That's 35% less than the average 50% of getting a good game in a normal DOTA match. Why would you put yourself through this?
>>331637812
Then why are you shitposting by repeating what others say like a parrot?
>>331637905
I once had Spawn Spiderlings, Teleportation, Diabolic Edict and Rearm. That was a fun game.
>>331627483
Dota 2 is shit because the community is hands down the worst out of any MOBA.
That and Valve being lazy, greedy and incompetent. Balance changes are taken directly from reddit now ffs.
>>331637972
Why are you getting so autistically upset that somebody is pointing out a gigantic flaw about a mode that supposedly makes one game the best in a genre?
>>331638069
>Dota 2 is shit because the community is hands down the worst out of any MOBA.
Maybe if your MMR is below 5k but it's pretty sweet in my experience.
>>331637949
>MORE OPTIONS IS BAD
>WE SHOULD NEVER CHANGE ANYTHING
>WHY FIX WHAT ISN'T BROKEN?The people playing ability draft on a regular basis likely wouldn't spend an equal amount of time playing regular matches.

I don't use that account for ranked anymore, it's around 5.4
>>331638110
>Maybe if your MMR is below 5k but it's pretty sweet in my experience.
I wasted 4000 hours and got to 6k before I quit.
The community is fucking garbage no matter what mmr (or if you play unranked) you play at.
But I do enjoy the parts of the community that zealously defends every aspect of the game, EVEN the community.But then goes on an blogposts about it later on
>>331638110
>implying there is a difference between 5k-4k-3k and whatever
top kek m8 you still play with russians subhuman in 5k it doesn't matter at all. Also the patch is ultra dogshit and makes every pub a shit show thanks to imbalanced heroes like voker and od.
>>331638373
Considering the streamers I watch are 6-7k MMR, and still get total garbage players, I don't see how anyone thinks climbing the ladder is the automatic way to get better teammates 100% of the time.
>>331638373
>>331638364
Why do I even bother arguing with you literal monkeys. You're the same people making threads complaining about bloodseeker or awful heroes in general.
>but I got 8k and it's the same as 3k
Okay very good, only a 3k shitter would say something this stupid.
>>331638115
I'm not saying people shouldn't play it, but just asking why would they? There's an extremely low chance of a fun game.
>>331638682
>Why do I even bother arguing with you literal monkeys. You're the same people making threads complaining about bloodseeker or awful heroes in general.
You're the monkey here and you don't even argue, you just call people idiots and insult repeatedly, just look at your posts here >>331638110 and your current one.
First you implied people were shitters, now you're flat out flinging shit and pulling out age old tired
>omg you're all just 3k shitters that think bloodseeker is OP woe is me
Just fuck off if you're just gonna shitpost. I bet YOU were the fucking 4k shitter I got matched with and had to repeatedly carry before I quitthis is how you "argue", like a fucking retard
Why do I get to play against dirty ruskies if they do nothing but play the game all day? I'm a successful white person that just wants to play a game of dota once in a while, but slav subhumans always ruin it.
If you want proof of how stupid they are, then look at what they write. Constantly writing in cyrillic like ANYONE understands them? Why? Are they really this mentally deficit?
>>331638812
Can i pick ES passive and medusa shield and press shield to infinite stun?
>>331638050

>>331639046
Pretty sure you can't, because it's a toggle skill with no mana cost.
Then again Rubick can steal her Split shot for some reason so maybe that would work
>>331638951
Shitters get matched with other shitters :^)
I honestly haven't played Vanilla since AD came out. It just feels so boring with out being able to make OP combos
What has it been, 3 years now? Crazy to think I've been playing AD longer than I've been playing Dota
>>331639046
No it won't work with toggles
(anymore), but it will work with things like Storm Spirits ult and Arcane Orb, which is perma stun as long as have mana
>>331639046
You could once, but not anymore.
>>331638951
>Why do I get to play against dirty ruskies if they do nothing but play the game all day?
Because 2nd and 3rd worlders make up the brunt of the community and there is no region lock.
