ANARCHY Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 i have a proposal to make drafting much simpler and easier; why?; basically playing IH takes forever to setup, not everyone has a mic & not everyone wants to sit around on mumble, its annoying changes; create a drafting system, i know we have the -DM function, but its worse then playing text based games like hugo in the jungle of doom 3 when the game starts someone types -dm a vote card comes up, much like the surrender option once it passes a screen comes up with all your teams names, you then vote to select a captain the screen moves on and opens up into a 4 way split screen 1 wide skinny bar across the top divided into 2, the rest divided down the middle up the top shows picked heroes and highlights the captains name for each team on the left side shows banned heroes on the right side it shows hero portraits but no info about them to reduce clutter (you should know them anyway) team members can then highlight heroes they can play / good at by clicking on a portrait, as many as they like and will highlight them with a coloured box the captain can them mouse over team members names and it will make hero portraits glow green, they can then select to pick or ban as required in turns these heroes then move to the top panel and um thats it, no mic required, easy to communicate, people dont have to ask 5000 questions and spam chat so you cant see whats going on show your support of how much we need this by voting please Firnefex, SayMyName, mynhauzen and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firnefex Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Yes, thats the main problem in IHs. I don't want to wait 30min to only get teams up, then followed by additional 30min to draft, play a 30min game, rinse and repeat. Therefore I prefer Pubs, even if there are so many noobs. An easy window at start to choose (majority) between several gamemodes: Normal, No mirror, All random, Draft, etc. and special submodes (everyone has to choose it): 1 Hero for all, No CDs, Testmode, etc. would be really nice!

Sphynx Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Definitely agree, a built in drafting mode should be code-able and then inhouses become much easier and faster. All Random heroes would also be a very interesting mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BestPlayer Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 I am unware of the difficulty of coding such a thing, especially with Firnefex' addons, but it strikes me as being a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysi Posted October 8, 2013 Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 How is captain decided? Are timers going to be added to how long you have to pick/ban? How is first pick decided? It would be a nice asset if implemented correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANARCHY Posted October 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2013 How is captain decided? by votes from your team Are timers going to be added to how long you have to pick/ban? yes there would be a time set for drafting / 3g rules that is voted on as a "sub" of the game mode How is first pick decided? coin toss / rock paper scissors / random? between captains It would be a nice asset if implemented correctly.

Adamantium Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 This has been suggested before and it was firmly filed into the "working on it" section at which point its priority was lowered to behind pretty much everything else. 30 minutes to get started? Lol that only happens when there is really no one on. Yesterday it took maybe 5-10 minutes to get from one inhouse to the next (I played like 5 in a row). Draft time completely depends on the players. Some people like to take 5 minutes to pick one hero while others easily have a solid draft done in under 10. I still can't understand what people have against mumble. Just open the program and hop in a channel if you think there are enough to play, else log off or just leave it open and do something else. Its not like you have to sit there staring at nothing while you wait. Someone has got to explain what is so annoying about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In EU IHs can take ages - mainly cause scrubs refuse to leave pubs and leave 7/8 players hanging waiting for them. People go afk and everyone waits because the host has a 'special' relationship with the aforementioned, even though we have replacements available willing to play. Then to top it off trolling and time-wasting by captains in draft period, Climax especially takes offence to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people like to take 5 minutes to pick one hero while others easily have a solid draft done in under 10. 10-50 minutes lol sorry adamantium just had to pick on you there but that's my whole point is that it has nothing to do with the time spent waiting for a game, we literally cant change that... rather its the tedious time spent drafting because; 1-2 people go afk people forget what was drafted non stop and have to keep asking because chat window gets messy some moron picks a banned hero someone drops and then you basically have to start again this can all pretty much be solved via some graphical based communication screens opposed to sc2's in-game chat which isnt designed to to talk to 10 people at once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginosaji Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I like the idea, unfotunately the devs don't have unlimited time, I'd rather have them work on the long list of Bugs/balance issues and hero concepts personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogwarts Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 i enjoy the draft, its almost a game inside of a game like chess, if my opponent wants to take 10 mins for a pic that will dictate how the whole game will be played let him, Iv have taken my fair share of time thinking too.

ginosaji Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I also enjoy drafting when I have the energy to do it... Most experienced players know the top tier picks and how the first bans and 1 or 2 picks will usually go. The real skill comes in picks 3-5 and last round of bans.

MrGrim Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 If this gets put in, which I hope it does, it will hopefully make the draft more fluid. Plus adding a timer to the picks puts more pressure on teams and those who can handle it get rewarded and those who can't get punished. Plus a later round suprise pick might throw the other team off and with a timer it might make teams think more about unconventional lineups just to cause more pressure for the other guys on top of the time restraints. A ui for it might also incentivize more pubs into an ih just with the novelty of there being a drafting ui. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
