In the US East CM pub metagame at my level, there is no situation where you would be unable to pick up that same Lion as your third, fourth, or fifth pick. There are much higher-priority heroes that deserve that slot. | ||

Random draft all the way. Its for people who like to play real Dota 2, not for those who like to play carries all the time. | ||

I have this theory based on 100% anecdotal evidence that worse people queue for those modes because they blame OP hero picks for their loses in AP and go hide in RD/SD/AR modes. When in reality they lose because they aren't very good but that's too hard to admit. I feel pretty strongly the same people also complain about the matchmaking. | ||

Wisp is plenty good in pubs. I've coordinated with someone that I had no voice contact with perfectly. As for Visage... Have you heard of trying to talk to your team? | ||
