General DiscussionFirst-picking carry

no first pick support

if you are sure about you performing well on that hero independently from pick then yes

if theyre so grossly op or can fit multiple lanes

i wouldnt mind if someone picked tiny first pick, but first pick am is retarded unless ur way better than ur opponents

if u like first pick mirana u r cool
if u first pick dusa ur retarded

its fine if they are strong laners or dont really have "hard counters". stuff like viper, veno, necro

Its okay if you're pseudo picking carry to bait out certain picks and then have your team counter them.

e.g. insta picking sniper and playing him as a hard 5.

First pick invoker is good
Kappa

Baiting people into picking spirit breaker is stupid in all circumstances

or you can first pick spirit breaker

^^ lol divIne I was thinking same thing , ya pretty much like others said only hero’s that don’t have hard counters . Wh n I was spamming am , I’d eat like 60 gold loss for team and still not pick lol , some hero’s it’s awful to first pick

My current build gives me 75 left over gold at beginning so I don’t give 2 fucks about gold loss.

In rd I think first picking cores can be strong if the pool can't counter them.

Eziest first pick AM of my life.

If its a good hero that doesn’t influence the whole draft.

I always happy to see pudge in my team. Ez laning stage

Jugg and Mirana are the only heroes viable for first picking as a carry. Luna is also a good option but not as good as the 2 heroes above.
