1) how should i draft heroes in CM mode? assuming i don't know anything about drafting, what would you tell me to improve my drafting?
I'm not really an expert at drafting but i can give my 2 cents on it from watching how pro teams draft and my experience from playing leagues. First off, if it is a low skilled game, it is best to pick heroes that your team is most comfortable playing with (it is most likely that they won't be able to play heroes that are in the meta game because they probably suck) then i'd just pick a solo mid for myself and just carry the game alone. If it is very high skilled game, then you should pick heroes that sync well together in the late game, are viable early game and heroes that can DO
****. Examples of this would be magnus/gyro, magnus/lich, tide/lich (aoe wins games from my experience). Also i think junglers suck ass now except like ehcnatress/chen/enigma/cm. Drafting furion to jungle would be considered bad because an aggro tri lane would just counter it. Pick a defensive tri lane if you want your carry to free farm. PIck an offensive tri lane if you want to prevent your opponent's carry's farm or just simply
**** and kill
****. Remember when you tri lane you're losing experience so your supports better be doing
**** (zoning out, getting kills, pulling, etc) Otherwise the tri lane is lost and is ineffective. That's pretty much all i can say i guess, lol
I got a question for you cele: Why do pros go midas on support heroes? Why hasn't this been done before and why was it recently implemented in the meta game?
