Darude will happen regardless, just that it wouldn't get streamed. It might be a good idea to get the Google deal through before this happens, just so that they rethink whether it's worth to risk their infrastructure's stability for this...

yah your ranked pubs will be full of people doing a-z challenge, great...


I was worried about this as well, means (more) people just picking whatever is next on their A-Z challenge. Hopefully they'll implement it for normal MM only and not ranked.


I really hope we don't ever get this far. I'm all for rewarding people for diversifying their hero pool, but Valve literally just invented a better mechanic in the 10 hero challenge thing.

I wish they'd just roll that out properly rather than trying to do some hero-a-day thing as well as an official A-Z. There will be so many stupid lastpicks in every game if we get both together.

I highly doubt that the A-Z or 10 hero challenge will have any influence on the amount of "sutpid lastpicks".

The problem are "stupid lastpicks" in general, some challenge won't change that.

Second. All pick is trash pudge/riki land with terrible players. CM and CD are fine as long as your captian doesn't go full potato and pick WL to counter doom.

I could use another ranked game mode that doesn't limits the amount of lazy, trash players who just want to hook and get kills, never group up to break high ground.

its pretty funny to me that people have this idea in their head that a different game mode will magically improve their games
if you have "trash players" on your team its pretty safe to assume you are trash yourself,a different game mode isn't going to change that

I know I am trash and bad at the game, but I dont believe in magic. But before ther was ranked I played almost exclusively random draft to learn new heroes. I enjoyed the challenge of being forced to learn new things. Also the people they play random draft in general, from my personal experience, are more fun to play with and generally better at the game(better in trench terms).

At trash teir MMR, in my personal experience, all pick has a higher frequency of shit box players that just want to pick the last hard carry they snowballed to a win with. It's why I have stopped playing ranked because it's less fun unless I am willing to commit to CM or CD(the que times on those are also brutal at trash teir).

This is all my personal experience, so I would not mind the mode that I am currently gettig better games out of to be put into ranked. Zero magic involved.

I think I'm also taking All Pick out of my gamemodes. There are more chances of horrible team comps/players and I always end up playing comfort picks or feel forced to support.

I mean I really hope we don't see people traipse into CM games and say "pick me XXX or I feed" etc lol. If that could just chill in AP I'd be happy.

Those people sadly already exist though

That's why i only play CM with 5-man stack now.
From the Ghastly Eyrie I can see to the ends of the world, and from this vantage point I declare with utter certainty that this one is in the bag!

I still don't know why they make AP for normal games and All draft for ranked.


CM always just seemed like a circlejerk of elitists who think playing the mode solo q makes them pro, but I know that's not a popular opinion.

Meh I play CM/CD when solo because I don't have to deal with retarded heroes (Phoenix, old huskar, etc) and because I hate actually picking a hero most of the time.

In a stack its usually AP (mass randoms) or CM (clown drafts).
