Test of Faith: Cast on an allied unit, it teleports them back to base after a short delay. Neutral creeps that are under Chen's control are teleported instantly. Edit: LPD is worded wrong too. In-game it says "Creeps are teleported instantly, heroes have a short delay before teleporting" | ||

In short, it's a 1v1 mode except designed specifically for 1v1. Each player controls all 5 heroes at once and each hero has a separate gold pool (you have to farm and buy items on each hero, individually; also this means no item pooling or sharing). The default (my suggested) mode is all pick, "single dupe mode" (either you or your opponent can pick any hero, regardless of whether your opponent picked it or not; the exception though is that you can't pick two of the same heroes on your team). (Alternatively, it could be just captain's mode as the default.) Finally, there should be a minimap and (selection circle) indicator that shows which heroes are (currently) being selected by your opponent (this is to allow both players to more easily figure out what the other player is doing or planning to do). Generally gameplay should be similar to regular Dota except you'll probably group all 5 (or maybe 4 and let one free farm ) of your heroes sooner (maybe by level 6-7). It's more possible (and less tedious) to play with your heroes grouped up than everyone individually laning. (So the hard part is the beginning when you're laning your heroes in different places but after that, it should be more easier to play.) Reasons why I want a 1v1 mode: 1. I want to play my own way. Seriously, let me try carrying as Crystal Maiden with two Maelstorms 15 minutes into the game. You know when you play support, you're not allowed to last hit (except denying of course)  .On a more serious note, I'd like to play a bit more flexible without worrying about teammates. I am definitely fine with playing support (like Dota 1, I generally play any hero I haven't played in a while regardless to keep things varied and refreshing) and in fact I like playing CM as support / early ganker / baby sitter (it helps that I have a Eul's Scepter on CM. It's a common weapon but I rarely see other CMs using it. Bust it out to show it off!). 2. Playing with bots isn't as much fun (yet... the bots in Dota 2 aren't as fun to play with like the bots in Dota 1 for some reason). Plus, I want to earn items while playing >.>. (Co-op has a huge reduction in item gain rate. Also I want to boost my win count which co-op doesn't do.) 3. Playing with others isn't fun at times. (Snobs, jerks, etc.) I'm used to playing with the occasional "OMG NUB, WHY YOU KS." but still, if I could avoid that altogether, I wouldn't mind that. 4. Playing multiple heroes at once can be fun. Try to experiment more with certain hero combos. In pub play for example (especially if you don't have many others to play with), you can't really play with certain hero combos that much. With a 1v1 mode where you control multiple heroes, you can play with certain hero combos more. Anyway as for gameplay in 1v1 Dota where you control all 5 heroes - Again, generally you'd probably want to group them up as soon as possible (maybe leave some hero to auto attack and free farm). Last hitting will be harder to do (at least on all of them at the same time). Gameplay will not be as fluid or clean as in 5v5 Dota but it's still playable. There were times where you had 4 leavers but you stuck because, why not try to finish the game (especially if the game was abandoned after stats were still being recorded). I think it'd be a lot fun to play IMO and should be an added (match making) game mode (for Dota 2, again I want to earn items too in 1v1 >.>). So, that's my topic on the PD forums. I'm posting here to get more views and response (because currently I have none other than me >.>). | ||

It's 90 minutes into the game, everyone on both teams have farmed up all their builds, both bases are down to ancient towers, rosh has been killed 5 times, and your team decides it's time to push mid. What hero and item build do you choose to win the game? | ||
