new mode.. or new game feat.. Silenced Pick

new mode.. or new game feat.. Silenced Pick

Posted: Fri Aug 08, 2008 8:43 pm

usually in pubs one of the most irritating styles of players is the "let the enemy pick first" mannerism., i hate those noobs thinkinh they could outsmart the opposing team by waiting for their chosen heroes and what picking the most suitable counter? i think they should put a new game mode or new game feat that allows the silencing of the opposing team heroe picks for the first 2mins of the game.. this PREVENTS noob looking like pros.. and allows the balanced pick for each team..

They have a mode to balance picks. In fact, they have a couple.
One being -ar, and the other being -rd.

They also have this other cool mode that lets you counter pick, it's -dm.

And incase it's not dm, and you ended up getting 5 ints against AM, Pudge, Silencer, and some other anti-int heroes, theres always the -repick function.

Granted, it's not the same as silenced pick, but there's an ingame command -ma that lets you see the opponents heroes, and that would have to be silenced too. There's also the dropdown k/d menu, or would you ahve that disabled early on as well? Personally, I don't think you need this. You can always counter-pick yourself.. just random, and then repick. The gold penalty is pretty minor that way.

I like the idea, very good idea actually so you don't know what to expect.

You got my vote for that.

Yuki: Players can check the taverns to see who are the heroes who got picked
Someone: Ice could make it so the hero icons are still there
Yuki: What if the player clicks the hero icon?
Someone: Err.. He gets the hero then.
Yuki: So it becomes like Duplicate Mode, then?

@topic.


its not a 'noob' tactic to see who they pick... its a good one...

but it only works on public games.

wats wrong with the tactic? its good. they wont drag so long anyway, they wouldnt want to miss out XP.

anyway, in league, heroes picks are drafted.

well...
if you call them a noob because they picked your hero's counter.
remember: "YOU CALLED THEM A NOOB! AND NOOB CAN BE BEATEN By AN EXPERIENCED GAMER, WELL UNLESS! YOUR ALSO A NOOBZ! THEN YOU'LL BE BEATEN FOR SURE! :P"

it's a bad idea for me

Hero countering is not a good thing in team games, since focusing on hero synergy and compatibility is better than making the whole team choose the hero counters against the enemy

a noob is always beaten by an experienced player...this is the reason why you call them noobs....and also there are items which are made just to counter other heroes and balance the game...for example you picked nevermore..your enemy chose void..then increase your armor or head for evasion...and also you can always outsmart them if you're a "pro"...and why would you want to prevent noobs looking like pro? i mean they're not noob forever..and you yourself started from being a noob..or a newbie

Two can play that game, just wait for them to pick.

That wouldn't be too bad of an idea, but you need to consider that by picking later, they are forfeiting some of their choice because the hero pool that they can choose from is smaller.

@serpentson you forgot about -lm and -xl and -tm and -mr and -rv and -vr
