Last Sunday
mouz faced
tR in the ENADC groupstage Group 2's tiebreak. Unlike the current competitive DotA scene's favourized mode -apxl, mouz and tR agreed to try something new and played the game in -rd. The rules for picking were based on
Drayich's newly published ideas which he shared in an interview a few days ago. In this article we will discuss the question with players as well as Drayich himself if -rd is viable and should become the next league mode.

apxl is fine.
| |
the idea of competitive play is to determine who is the best. therefore I beleive we should be minimizing the random factor not maximizing it.

-rd is definatly worth a thought, but will it really help to improve the attractiveness for spectators?

Haha. I have the feeling, that nearly everyone says "NOWAI -RD IMBA, TOO MUCH LUCK " is just someone who can play only 3-4 heroes. And if noone of these heroes is available in the pool they will suck as hell. Just a thought of mine :S

Thoughts and feeling are two different things. Girl don't write bullshit about RD being a competetive mode. Omfg girl get a bit of a logical meaning if you know what it is.
Team Mouz: drayich support: warlock,lich,dazzle kuroky solo mid psycho: fiend, arachnia, QOP cat: ganger/carry: leoric, leviatan,spectre miracle: ganger: QOP, zeus, potm This is just an expamle the pla The top teams are wining matches cause the pla | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|

|
maybe with a bigger pool, else no way..
| |
Why do you still suggest such a mode? It's not even close being fair to most of the teams, what a stupid idea.

certainly worth a try! however it will only reduce the pick time and is not sure if will make the game less boring to watch. to make game less boring games must be shortened somehow (like wc3) (not that o want this to happen but i dont know how the competitive part of dota will prosper otherwise)

hmm I still prefer apxl the tactic you set in the bans are more exciting then the rd game mode ~~
| |
yeah but in ap, 7 out of 10 games have the exact same heroes, same strat etc. so kinda gettin boring imo.
i think rd should be give the chance. | |
|
go ardm 25 lifes, no picking phase, shorter game length, mass action, , everyone happy? ~~

-RD solves the problems of balance only short term, depending on what the draft pool is. -RD doesn't directly nerf DK or Brood (!!), even though it does change the playst
APXL requires a great amount of experience and thinking, but that's what makes it really attractive. I think DotA should not discard the thinking factor just for the sake of attracting the observers. | |
