Minor Fix to End Most Complaints in Pubs

[hbogyt]

Make hero selection visible to enemies during the selection phase.

[GENLORDZ]

What about making all the heroes on the map visible and removing fog of war?

[Ancientmagicks]

Everyone starts max level with 100000 mineral.....

 

Jk lawls

 

You will never be able to appease everyone. They will always have something to cry about no matter what you do, and you shouldn't diminish the game for some pipe dream.

[residente]

DotA 2 has this thing, so they'll not make it in this game.

[Indo]

add draft for pubs, no mirror heroes >:D no double bubble and only 1 shadow per game not 2

 

edit: well not -dm but every hero can only be choosen one time

Except in DotA everyone that's played more than a few games waits to actually select their hero until there's like 5 seconds left, so you can't actually counter it. Any decent player will do that.

???

No.

[hbogyt]

Then we add a unique mechanism where the earlier you set your hero, the more bonus minerals you get. You get the stock 650 if you wait til the end.

[ScrubHaven]

Buff EU. Make NA players come EU for pubs. Sorted.

[ginosaji]

???

No.

 

No what? No as in you don't do this when you play? In DotA2 your hero isn't visible until you've actually selected it, you can wait to do so until the game is about to start.

[ANARCHY]

bring back bonus minerals if you random your hero

Of course not. Every experienced player in Dota 2 knows that the picking phase ends indefinitely after the timer hits 0. So then you have the Meepo that picks 30 seconds after the game has already started and the Earthshaker that picks 35 seconds after the game has already started...

 

But in SotIS the game immediately starts after the timer hits 0, so you do have a point.

No as in the majority of the players don't do this in AP pubs, because it's an AP pub anyway.

Sir, what if they random for 825 starting gold ? ( This thing is awesome, aeon should have the same to make it 1k mins start ! )

 

[lololol]

easily solved. each team must pick 1 hero alternatingly. doesn't matter which member of the team picks it, but one member of the team has to pick within say 30 sec.

They used to have it, but if people didn't get the hero they wanted they would just leave, rinse and repeat until they got it.

[Hubert]

ya that was annoying

Minerals reward for random is great feature and needed for sure

 

I think this is the problem of bad players. Don't choose random if you going to rage.

 

The main problem with random - talents. Suggestion - give random hero time to change talents tree after picking hero.

did you ever play with the old random? because they would ruin so many games just randoming and then quitting

[atomheartman]

Yes, i remember. So lets make 1 game for retards and 1 game for good guys)

Because while it does happen, it does not happen a lot.

 

AP pub = people pick heroes they want to play, when they're not randoming, not specific heroes to counter the enemy.

 

Maybe you should play more DotA before you start making sweeping generalizations about it? ;-)
