Well communication should first and foremost be clear-cut. Or in other words be self-exlanatory and precise.
We had chatroom abbreviation crap earlier today already, I think we should keep speaking in full sentences and full words. Not everyone is used to this nonsense.
I personally hate AR more than any other mode. Just now I got the equivalent of chen repick into meepo. I underperformed on my hero, got a lot of flak for it. Also we had Mountain Prophet with Dagon first.
Just overall I feel too much is changed if every hero starts with 853 gold. Think of all the heroes that can really abuse a soul ring. And in AR everyone can afford one right from the start. "Hero balanced around low manapool and high hp? Screw that, spam fissure, chaosbolt, fire blast, purification, spawn spiderling, storm bolt, avalanche anytime you want!"
Right now my group can't agree on mode selection. 2 don't like AP, 2 others don't like AR, 1 refuses to play RD while the others love it, we all have mixed feelings over SD. Captain's mode is too tryhardy and least played means queuing for 10+ minutes. It's impossible.
pick all in queue and roll the dice

We do, but it still sucks.
By the way, we only have 1 guy who hates random draft, but he hates it very intensely. Unless people are tabbed out of the game during their pickphase and random something shitty, I don't see any problem with that mode. Can anyone think of other criticism to rd?

No, but really, if he doesn't like it, don't force him to play it. All of you should get more friends to queue with. Just solo queue for a while and add the people who are fun playing with. That way you can play whatever mode you like. If they turn out to be assholes later, remove them and nothing is lost.

Play AP and let your AR guys go random?
I'm not sure what someone has against RD that likes AR. I personally hate AR. I really like RD because its a got a limited pool and sequential picking, so you can see the team come together and try to develop a counter-hero-picking strategy, as opposed to AP which seems like pick-other-team-be-dammed or wait until the very last second to pick something in a hurry that might do well against what the other team picked.
How about SD? Isn't that still available?

Well, if you queue as a group then you will always get the same pick location for RD all night. Can be a pain if you don't like support and get forced into it a bunch because you are always the last in the party.
The other unique thing about RD that I find is that people always "tryhard" compared to other modes. Trilanes are quite standard for my games and few people pick the lower tier of heroes. I personally find this ends up with very nice games, but some people may not like it.

Ten instances (eleven if you count the half up front). If torrent is level 1 it doesn't deal enough damage to break refraction charges though.
