A twist in Captain's Mode

Posted on Tue Mar 09, 2010 1:18 pm

Hello Guys.

I have an idea, and I would like to know what you think about it.

The daily rule in -cm is simultaneous bans, then simultaneous picks.
What if.. you do bans and picks simultaneously? does it improve mind games? I know it sounds kinda weird, but of course, we need to see what happens when leaguers accidentally draft a team that wasn't in their plans just because they wanted to counter the ban and pick of the other team.

1)Sentinel Ban then Scourge Ban
then Sentinel Pick then Scourge Pick.

or maybe
2) Sentinel Ban and Pick
then Scourge ban and pick.

what do you say about the two situations? Smile

actually the person who picks 10th has all the power

based on who the other team picks, he can pick whomever without facing counters

because he's only banned 1 guy, leaving the 2nd most wanted hero selectable.

Perhaps if it was simultaneous but waited for both teams to finish before moving on.

So like;

Sentinel and Scourge make their first ban. Wait until either timer expires or both teams make a ban then move onto second ban.

And so on and so forth through the bans and picks.

That is still true with the current system. The first team gets to pick the best hero after 8 are banned. I personally think this system would screw up a lot of lineups and drafting strategies. Simply because the other team has power to eliminate 2 heroes at a time after you've picked.

bhvaxalan fix ur sig. Read the rules regarding the sigs.

I personally doubt this would work, you can't really make a decent strat if the other team can see and counter your team and ban heroes you need.

i think it's quite imbalanced since the first team pick and ban can pick their favs heroes and then ban the counters Depressed

Your first version is too imbalanced, the second one makes no sense.
when sentinel bans and picks, and THEN scourge bans and picks, what should the scourge ban when the other team has already their heroes picked?

the only thing that would make a little sense is banning heroes without knowing what the other ban. then reveal the banned heroes and maybe do the same at picking the heroes. but i think the way it is now is better.
