In the end it is all about your perspective. In the MM I am currently in dota 2, picking somewhat intelligently is almost required and lastpicking void when only offlane is available will get you flak. Level 1 wards are there in 95% of games. For someone else these are all tryharding, but to me and most of the people in my MM they are a normal thing which is to be expected. | ||

I have nothing against it, it just tends to lead to very onesided games and you wonder "why don't you go CM?". This is pretty much why I play less AP these days, though I understand it's good way to increase your ratings to raise someone out from the lower levels so they can play more decent games when solo or smaller stack. It wouldn't be so bad if your team reacted to it and went with picks of same level, but usually it's 1-3 random rolls and rest of the picks either fill the lineup for decent lanes or in worse case pick whatever. It seems these unrestricted stacks get more common the higher your rating gets. Another reason for some people to pick those heroes could be, that they are so often banned or not avaiable in other modes so they can practise them for those CM matches that let them actually slip through bans. I'd really like them to implement a mode where every player had 1 Ban and they can do it simultaneously like picks in AP, something like 1 min time and it randoms if nothing is chosen, then same for picks. It could work at all skill levels as you could use your ban to pick off a hero you absolutely loathe and don't want to play against or consider imba. | ||

SSF2:CE Akuma is just broken and unlike Dota, there's no way to quickly fix it, that's way the soft ban was introduced. while the case of Armlet on bear, it get soft banned due to Dota1 parity ken so it's not the same kind of thing. a more apt analogy is Chen's controlling Roshan a few patch ago. Akuma is soft banned in some places but hard banned in a lot of others. Akuma is just unbeatable. Old Sagat is soft banned in Japan because he makes the game less interesting even though he is beatable by a select group of characters. That's the soft ban that I think is more applicable here(and to me the more interesting soft ban in general). Most competitive players would just stop you if you tried to pick Akuma, and you straight up wouldn't be allowed to in a competitive setting. Like Metaknight in Brawl or something. Nobody is gonna stop you from picking Old Sagat, but from what I understand a lot of Japanese players have created a culture where he isn't played because it improves the game. | ||
