      1st Caller (almost) denied!!! Cant overstate how often people try to so hard to counter pick and we end up with a team that cant do anything together..

          Let me tell you what happens in ranked captains mode

          1)Pick the most op heroes
          2)ban random heroes / most picked heroes / tilting heroes to play against
          3)MAYBE some counter pick
          4)MAYBE some sinergy pick

          Your article is IDEALLY correct, but the facts remain the same: people pick always the same heroes (also caled "meta heroes") for obvious reasons, and maybe few times they MIGHT considering doing some counter pick (sinergy pick is even less known).

          End.

            I played with a 4 stack once and our random teammate got the captaincy... didn't click fast enough

            End.

              7th, or if you don't count the CENSORSHIP then I'm 5th.

              Praise dotabuff in all its glory, may icefrog never balance the game.
              Amen.

                I sincerely wish people actually queued captains mode for ranked above 2k. I think it's exciting to take me out of my comfort zone with what hero suits the situation best.

                      theres a very good app for captains mode (and ranked in general), called smart picks

                      sloppy job, Mossad

                          sometimes your best hero really is the best pick for the game. don't pick like you were a pro team- let's face it, you're probably not a pro player

                          a funk

                            Not sure if I'm missing something about the "ask your teammates to check your opponents profiles" part. Didn't they remove the ability to see recent games from people's profiles that you aren't friends with?

                                a funk - u can confuse other players by putting ur 3 least played heroes as ur profile badges

                                  Valve 101 is better then Captain mode 101

                                    Ah yes who would not like to play a random hero with a strategy only the random captain knows. That is the first guy to click on captain button.

                                      me and my friend played together in a party and we won all of the matches. because we can play anything and we really try to ban and counterpick good. what i just dont get are those random teammates they say convulsively ''i only play (insert lane) i cant play another lane'' or ''i only can play this hero if u dont pick it cap ill report you''

                                      i mean lol why u playing this mode if u only want/can play one lane/hero

                                        Let me tell you a little story where I had the balls to enter Battle Cup with a random stack (much like a pub game) and what turned out to be a classic blame-game shitfest (much like a pub game).

                                        I pick captain since I'm clearly the most experienced in my team (judging by their profiles). Pick centaur and dazzle in the first phase while banning drow and venge since they went first pick slardar. I instantly get flamed by this one genius who just doesnt stop talking about how bad the draft is and how he can do a better job. I instantly switch the captain role over to him, shut the fuck up and enjoy the show. We win the first game in a stomp with our teamfight capabilities.

                                        Second game he takes captain's role since the very beginning, first picks cores, gets 3 farm reliant cores and 2 aggressive supports, no defence, no ganking heroes, no high ground defence. We lose to a stomp. Lesson learned: In this game, people cannot be begged, bargained or reasoned with. They are like the Joker from The Dark Knight. They do what they want to do. Period.

                                                  84км до Мелітополя

                                                    Unreal to find cm , 1 hour searchings and still not found

                                                    Duck with cape

                                                      Yeah I stopped playing CM when the captain picked Magnus for me, despite me repeatedly telling him that I had NEVER played that hero. I don't know how on earth he expected anything but a negative 25 mmr from that game.

                                                      Maxinator

                                                        for CM you really need to know how to play all heroes well on every lane and to be flexible. i play mostly mid and offlane but when we needed kotl then i played kotl pos 4 because i play kotl like a god.

                                                          ^ Pros can't even play all heroes well...

                                                          PogumonMemann

                                                            I don't like CM. Last time I played CM was in Battle Cup and before that was previously when I first calibrated (1.4k then, 3.2k now). I don't find it as interesting and watching pro game drafting phases is much more fun. Drafting here is so bad and you can't even guarantee a good drafter, or players who want to follow your draft, not because they can't, but because they don't want to play like that.

                                                            CM drafting is also REALLY weird here. It always all about the pub cancers. Supports aren't really good at supporting. You need to draft a pub game rather than a pro game. It doesn't give me the type of drafting experience I was looking for.

                                                            Also most people do say you get a 3, and 4 usually for your first 2 picks. That's good but sometimes you also just want to pick a versatile position hero + 1. Ogre is staple as a support and Jug is pretty standard. The first couple of picks its also more about heroes who can get dumpstered less from an early pick in most cases. Unless you are wanting to run a cheesey strat like a chinese push strat. But in most common pubs, the former is still the way to go.

                                                            Jug is a good example because he can either lane mid or safelane, depending on which has a better match up. Though something like an early Weaver might be more probable in being a support Weaver rather than offlane or core if the enemy drafts plenty of disables.

                                                              My experience with CM...

                                                              Had a random captain in Battle Cup.

                                                              Went first phase Shadow Demon. Didn't pick Luna. Instead goes Shaker.

                                                              Pick Sven over TB or Drow. Drow would have been so better there.

                                                              Then a mid Silencer, and offlane Bristle.

                                                              That first phase picks and Sven pick was the most retarded drafting I have seen.

                                                                Once had a cm,it goes very nice.Although I had 1k ,due to whatever reason I get to be captain :).And we all also do a very good draft like a invo Pudge combo,bs venge,and lot of other.Cm is fun actually if you know a good draft and combo and also a teammate who will to cooperate at least

                                                                  Mayo

                                                                    Granpire Viking Man
