Try the other modes so you don't have to play against the same heroes every game

Ive been going random draft lately. It's way better than all pick from my experience. More interesting hero combinations + people are just more relaxed overall (maybe this is just coincidence).
That's the 2nd time in a week I've seen someone sig a quote from this GD and I have never witnessed a sig quote happen in my TL history ever before. -Najda

How many reports have you made? I have around 1000 games and 80 reports, when I think of how many idiots I played I expected this to be much higher, maybe I just forget to report some time.

Yeah i've mostly played random draft and single draft. I've also noticed that people are more relaxed... i think in ap people mostly pick heroes that they know the best and just try real hard to win.

Could be the "I can plan __, therefore I expect __"
AP is the only mode in which you can pick exactly what you want(and keep winning, unlike least played). So people who play 1 hero over and over will only be playing -ap. And when you do that, you always compare your current teammates to teammates you had before. And of course they will most fondly remember the games they won.

Humans are predictable like that. Also they are often foulmouthed.
If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

this is so opposite of my experience. most people in my games random but when its rd or sd people pick the most op heroes first.

I've found people in AP are just worse people as well. CM is the tryhardiest but at least everyone who queues for it kinda plans on playing to win, and AR/RD/SD to me seem to be the people who are like 'well, if we get 5 carries whatevs, still gonna be fun'. AP has this weird mix of people who are trying really to be good at the game and people who have just stopped giving a fuck and random every game and build dagons first item (me most of the time in AP lol). And those two kinds of people don't mix well.

Maybe it's just me but people seem a lot more receptive to building shadowblade daedalus on Earthshaker when I queue for AR, or even basically anything but AP. And just a lot less likely to flame you in general. And kind of more likely to have fun.

It would be nice if you could queue for a position on a specific lineup. Nowadays that's tied to joining a team, and you must already have a few friends who play at about the same level and time, or have to become really good at the game and navigate the sea of vouching and networking.

my ap games are all pretty high rated (the worst one was on page 5 recently) most people random. of course there are shameless pl/kotl and ck/wisp pickers too but it seems most hero pickers are awful in comparison to random gold lovers.

Well, if you're a 4 man group and want to practice roles you dont queue for CM because of the 50% chance you don't get drafter.

If by 50% you mean 100% then you're right

Random Draft and Single Draft are where its at. Less of the same pubstompers over and over and players somehow just seem a little better too. Maybe All random as well but you have to be VERY confident that you can play whatever it throws at you.

They're pretty much the only ones I queue for nowadays. All Pick is awful generally speaking and Least Played was way too similar to All Pick last I played it. Occasionally queue Captain's Mode but its a tricky thing to solo queue.
