RedHydra Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I'd like to know what which one do you prefer to play for the tournament. We might change the Game Mode depending on the results.

BestPlayer Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 We hawe to appeal to more players, right? So Free Pik seems the logikal shoise here. The less eksperiensed players, as well as those you guys refer to as "pubbers" and "pubstars" will be more able to adapt to sush a system than a straight draft right off. I'm thinking you guys should just do the 3Gs ewen, not 4. LiquidDog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhaleTits Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 eh. either is fine though i'll vote draft because it makes the game... more serious? also i think you'll see some consistent nasty mirror match ups with free pick.

DoctorHeckle Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 "Do you want this tournament to have strategy, or to be slightly less slapped together than a pub game?" I can only imagine how the IH scene is these days. Sigh :( Legacy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosti Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 free pick would mean mirror matches for sure and i guess it would make the tournament rly boring to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheekyKunt Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 i think we should put a time limit on draft pick so it doesn't take 30mins-1hr to get a game going. lets say 1 minute for each pick/ban: T1 B1 - 1min T2 B1 - 1min T1 B2 - 1min T2 B2 - 1min T1 B3 - 1min T2 B3 - 1min T1 P1 - 1min T2 P1P2 - 2min T1 P2P3 - 2min T2 P3 - 1min T1 B4 - 1min T2 B4 - 1min T1 P4 - 1min T2 P4 - 1min T1 P5 - 1min T2 P5 - 1min should take no more than 18 minutes... still pretty long, might want consider 30s for each pick/ban or a mix of 30s and 1min BestPlayer and ginosaji 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestPlayer Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Not sure why the double picks would get longer time? Makes no sense to me. Picking is meant to be reactive, and rather simple to do if you're not bad at it. You don't need 1 minute at all, unless there are big arguments internally in the team about what to pick/ban. I still think freepick is more inclusive, and would be preferrable as you are introducing many new players to the community in this period, with the release of HotS.

Revolution Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think before the match starts both teams should agree if they want it to be draft. If both teams don't agree then do 3g. BestPlayer and Legacy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestPlayer Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think before the match starts both teams should agree if they want it to be draft. If both teams don't agree then do 3g. I agree. That would be the best, especially for the teams with newer/inexperienced players in them. At least give them the choice, favouring their side, if both sides don't agree. In the end the more experienced ones are able to adapt to freepick more easily than the newer ones to draft, right? :) Revolution 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hmm All pick you say? Now lets try all pick with nobody ever building shrapnel or taser or emantle or exec. Have fun everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogwarts Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 African wanted a 20 mins draft time in the last tourney , but it was never enforced i think this is reasonable Legacy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolution Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 20 minutes is ridiculously long. If there was an enforced timer I'd say it should be around 5-10 minutes... and 10 minutes is still a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destroyer Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Or draft could be implemented in game with a timer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWaterJustIce Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Or draft could be implemented in game with a timer... Ekco wants to do this eventually(kinda like soonishTM) but he said that it will take a lot of time to do. It would involve completely reworking the current hero picking screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takeray Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 For tournamets I prefer Draft not for boring mirror or whatever but cause it gets picking as strategy part of a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestZeratul Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It really depends what you want to achieve with this tournament. If you are making it to please the competitive crew it should be draft, but if you want to attract new players to the competitive environement you should go with global bans and free pick. At the end of the day a poll is probably a bad idea, especially when the majority of the voters will be competitive players that heavily prefer draft pick (myself included). To everyone complaining about mirror matchups being boring to watch, I don't think a lot of games will be streamed given how that went last tournament. mynhauzen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EterNity Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 It all comes down to this... Do you want to be picking and banning hero for 5 minutes and then play a 1 hour long boring game? Or Do you want to spend 30 minutes drafting and then play a 30 minutes awesome game? I have to agree this is truly a very hard decision to make but we will see how it all play out.

mynhauzen Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Free pick with global bans would be more fair to new players, most of whom can only play 1-2 heroes. The more rules you add the harder it will be to win this tourney without a lot of experience in inhouses. Only 2-3 teams are capable of winning just because those teams are the only ones that actually played with those rules for months.

residente Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 especially when the majority of the voters will be competitive players that heavily prefer draft pick (myself included). then why you vote global + free pick?

Nope, the first one can be awesome too, and the 30 minutes after draft can be a boring shap becasue one team completely outdrafted the other team and it's one sided. Picks doesn't affect awesomeness, because you draft 30 minutes, it doesn't mean you will have an awesome game.. lol, it depends on the players and on the previus draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorHeckle Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 For tournamets I prefer Draft not for boring mirror or whatever but cause it gets picking as strategy part of a team. This should honestly be prioritized over any new content if this game wants to ever be taken seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidDog Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Free pick is better for the community as a whole, it is more inclusive and faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spooky Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Once u get used to draft is very hard to get used to free pick. Draft gives u more control over composition and even talent u want to take. There are simply many heroes which are hard counter to other heroes. I don't really mind if both teams agree to go free pick. But what if one team want free pick and other want draft? However free pick with 3 global bans per team shouldn't be so bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiquidDog Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Just look at the last game of the last tourney, not fun to watch, totally one sided. Looked like a pubstomp. Wrath and Awesomeclock both said when EU picked Drake first " well that was a bad pick, Might be game right there". How the hell is that fun when the announcers call the game on the first pick. The same block of heroes get banned/picked every time.Boring.(Micro, Drake,erekul, vergil,boros,darpa, justicar,balrog, marine king, tosh,grunty,toxi), and the other 20+ never get played(raynor,cow,crackling,shadow to name a few). Free pick could cause some fun matchups. Also if you get out drafted badly it is auto GG, we saw it time and time again in the last tourney. free pick would mean mirror matches for sure and i guess it would make the tournament rly boring to watch. It all comes down to this... Do you want to be picking and banning hero for 5 minutes and then play a 1 hour long boring game? Or Do you want to spend 30 minutes drafting and then play a 30 minutes awesome game? I have to agree this is truly a very hard decision to make but we will see how it all play out. mynhauzen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BestZeratul Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 then why you vote global + free pick? Be cause even though I prefer draft myself I think global bans and free pick is a better option for the community until draft is a game mode itself.
