Question #3
3) Would converting to -rd be a positive thing compared to today's scenario, or would it be a setback for the community in your opinion?
| As I've said before^^ I think that it would make games at the moment a bit more interesting for the people that already follows the DotA scene, but I don't think it's a mode we should stick with for a long while... . The mode IS rigged and it's too easy to get outpicked, even if I find us in SK outpicked more than we outpick haha. My tip is to wait for the new dota version! I've tried it as a beta-tester and I see a great future in it. A lot of new stuff and some changes to what is already there, I don't think I'm allowed to say exactly what... But I like it, and it WILL make it more action packed and therefore make it the more spectator friendly. |

| From my point of view as a player it only interest me to play a game where i can control the heroes and not the game to control me, even though our players have a lot of experience with all the heroes, so i rather stick with this version and try to change other things. |

| My vote here is no, even if the heroes would be more different, I think the problem with apxl is that there isn't any time cap for picking, which worked pretty good at eswc, you have a 1 minute per ban/pick and that made the tournament schedule work good, you get a yellow card if you fail to pick within that 1 minute. I think we should stick with apxl for now, and maybe with the newer versions with drastic changes such as nerfing some late game heroes, nerfing bkb, etc. APXL is the mode in terms of balance, and I think is the mode to play top dota at the moment. |

| I think it can go for both positive and negative way, so i guess teams should try it out for some time and see the results. But as i stated before time length is the only problem and picking banning from the biggestpool possible is one of the important parts in dota. So in my opinion, both can be fixed wen we just add strict rules and less time for the picking phase and voila problem solved :D . Well thats just my opinion. |

| I'm not really sure. You gotta try something in order to judge it right? I think it wouldn't be a good idea to put -rd as a mode into competitive dota YET. but put time-rules instead that you have a certain amount of time between the picks in -apxl. Maybe someone could organise a -rd tour so people would see how it's really like. |
| It would be a setback in my opinion if you random things u get things based more and more on luck, u can't make a strategy because u don't know what heroes will apear in the taverns and also it will depend who is choosing first or second if u got 3 very strong imbalanced heroes in the pool and the rest will be weak heroes, sp would be better :) apxl is very good at the moment, from what i see there isn't a dominating team anymore like in 48b where VP and MYM would get every final where they participated, u can come up with a strategy and start banning the heroes that are good against it and play ur game. |
| The main problem of today's scenario is time wasted on drafting alone not the system of play itself. I suggest Icefrog to amend the version of -apxl to suit current day situation imposing a time limit on each ban/draft to standardised the time of drafting for each team. That way , the players and spectators will not have to wait long to get the game started. |

| As I mention in the 2nd answer, I think the game will be just like pub game with more teamwork. Just like that and nothing more. |

In Loda I trust. :)
The hints he gave about the new version are exciting. I, myself, just want to wait for the next version because I know that Icefrog is aware of the issues that the current version of DotA faces, and I'm sure he's thinking of solutions with the help of other influential people and some pros. | |
