You get to be ultra slippery but you can't carry for shit with that kind of item build. Most of the time I just like to radiance rush, and get the Linken very fast after that because of the farm increase rate | ||

Then based off that there's some sort of match making to put them all together on a team. Theoretically it could help do away with the 5 carry pub games and just complete shit shows of that nature. Only problem I can see is how it would narrow heroes down to a specific pool for a role since there's so much flexibility for many heroes. But think it'd be a nice way for people who are serious or want to get serious to easily find similar minded people. That is a sensual suggestion. I really wouldnt mind to see a mode like that. Maybe he is good at position X so he wants to play it or he want to improve his hardlane skill so he chose position3 for training etc. That way competitive people have a nice mode to go to (albeit some russians will queue all modes anyway i guess lol). Of course some 'problem' would happen on that mode eg. limiting the possibility of any innovative line up to be played etc. | ||

However this idea involves Valve making the "1-5 System" public and easily available knowledge. I see lots of issues with that, especially when people start to believe it's about lane setups which is a rather easy to make misconception. | ||

What's stopping people from queueing up as 4 and 5 (which will likely be what least people would queue as) to get faster queue times and pick carries anyway? Only thing I can come up with is restrict people what heroes they can pick depending on their position, but that simply wouldn't work because positions can be so fluid, you can run NA as high as a 2, or as low as a 5, for example. Accept that pubs will be pubs and nothing will ever change that. Play with friends/play inhouses if you want to try and make sure your lineup doesn't completely suck | ||

Accept that pubs will be pubs and nothing will ever change that. Play with friends/play inhouses if you want to try and make sure your lineup doesn't completely suck This kind of mentality is what makes Dota 2 hard to get into. Pubs are what the majority of players do. Finding a way to make them more enjoyable is a good way to turn dota into a popular game. To answer your question, these people could and should be reported. Oh, and I got absolutely no issue with someone queuing as 4 or 5 and then picking drow, as long as he plays her as a support. Also why cant we have a game mode similar to random draft but with all heroes available? To be honest I kinda miss LoL picks where each player would pick one after each others. This was not perfect ( too much of the "LAST PICK SUPPORT" mentality), but at least we didnt get 3 players fighting for mid lane ( well, not to often). Most of the League players I know never ever play AP and only play this. | ||

Most of the League players I know never ever play AP and only play this. Actually, the real reason for this is because hero selection in DotA is actually in the game, and not in the client. In LoL people just dodge if they don't get what they want (or they troll pick to try and bait someone else into dodging). It was less common when there was a rating penalty for dodging, but that's not applicable to DotA because you obviously can't have a rating penalty be meaningful in a game with no visible rating. | ||
