1. both captains are drafting at roughly the same level of tryhard. cancer begets cancer, clown begets clown. 2. 5k players (or best players or whatever) on both teams either both take cores or both take supports, no mismatching 3. both hero lineups can go sorta late... its possible to go for a more timing lineup but those games often dont feel as fun when people cant execute and then the game becomes inevitable 4. everyone is at least listening to the discord voice chat, though preferably everyone has a mic 5. players with more limited hero pools throw out a few suggestions during draft phase (and make it clear when you need to be on a particular hero in a draft asap) 6. techies ban set up by rocketbear like a year ago remains in place 7. people dont instagrab captain multiple games in a row unless theyre on a team with people who dont wanna be captain 8. it's in bad taste to draft yourself an out-of-meta or high-skill core hero when there's a high chance your under-performance will cost your team the game like im gonna be honest shrinkzxo i bitched pretty hard about getting you as captain the 2 times i did and im not the only one; you dont communicate nearly enough for the random shit you draft and do and it makes the game unenjoyable for your teammates i dont think anybody on your team enjoyed your meepo, techies, or huskar games... like you can have fun and do some weird shit in inhouses, but try not to do it over and over again at the expense of your teammates' enjoyment? aight thats my salt shaker | ||

Regarding the 5k/best player thing we need to also pay more attention to the shuffle. Most of the time we just shuffle 10 times then instantly hit go. The other day I was the highest MMR player by a small amount and volvo thought it was fair to put me against Rabid/Stancel/Dead9. idk maybe Beesa could have carried that game, but it was impossible for me (happened two games in a row as well). | ||

Also, if you are drafting and no in the discord chat, you need to remind people. People float in and out of that channel and no on is keeping track of who is listen. | ||

CD is hard,you cant have everything fun heroes, quality games,accepted requests and interesting games.Its like prisoners dilemma if you dont pick good even from the first pick you will be in the mercy of your oppponent,there is no space for errors like in cm, the process is uncorrectable(ofcourse you can whine about his picks after...).The draft in cd mode is the most important factor for decent games. Maybe we can try some cms, the draft will be much easier for everyone.CM reduces the draft impact on the game and helps with requests.I also suggest 2 separate voice channels for dire and radiant. | ||

Most of the time it's not a huge deal and if/when it is, you can always in-game. I think the bottom line tho is that everyone wants to win and everyone wants a fair shot at getting the chance to win. Even when we're having fun, at the end of the day, we play bc we enjoy the thrill of winning. When it feels as though people are doing things to sabatoge that opportunity, thats when people get upset. The big example for me was picking a meepo into a team jam packed with aoe abilities. It just feels like you're not going in with a winning mindset. Even silly or theme drafts can be done with getting a win in mind, yet still be hilarious. Item builds too. Unless you're stancel and you're in the business of creating new meme builds, then by all means go for it lol. I wasn't even mad when I lost to that gyro build, how could you be lol | ||
