Hi. I have problem with Captain mode in LOD version, and i want to know is it really a problem or i just dont understand how does it work ?  
Theres a bug after u picked and banned heroes. None of them have any level to use , it just heroes and u cant buy any level for them.

Please let me know if its a bug, or just a mistake in understanding how it works. Thanks.

CM not supposed to works at all, like almost every other non-typical mode.

AP/SD/MD/AR only supports now

that will not to going to fix?

well, we planned to revive some modes, but all of them requires some workaround to being viable in LoD

like RD should provide various random skillsets as well as heroes, cause else it makes no sense

once we wondered about CM but didnt find any good workaround. you can try youself and describe how CM mode should work in LoD.

i cant guarantee that your suggestion will come into map but there are chance

How about a mix out of sd+ar?

 

Go back to the dota sd mod, it picks 3 heros you can choose now.

Why dont put random speels on the 3 heros, list them in the tooltip and the player can decide which of the heros he would play.

 

I think this would be basically a 'pre' to rd mode.

I don't think the CM mode is a very wise idea. I can see the picture - each team has been given about 15 heroes to pick. Blue/Pink selects skills for each team, in the way they think is best and at the end they are given some extra time to pick models for each player.

 

However, CM mode in "normal" dota takes almost as much time as in LoD SD draft. Combining both it would be 10+ minutes draft, it would just piss a lot of people off.

 

Another thing, even if players agree to take the time to prepare their heroes for battle, there's another problem. If the draft is small (11-20), it doesn't give much of a usefull skill choice to the captain, leaving some players with rather crappy combinations. If the draft is big (40-50), it puts a lot of pressure on the captain, since there are too much choices.

 

In my opinion, making this would be a lot of work, and it would be almost for nothing. Disapprove.

No, if we made a CM it wouldn't contain anything with captains. All players could pick skills, but they would not be able to unpick them and all spell picks are visible for both teams - meaning you can effectively counterpick.

 

Maybe more on new gamemodes when we're done with some other stuff.
