ability draft is actually better than the LOD bullshit that goes on in wc3 and it was actually the de-facto mode with -aradso pre 6.66? OMG dota on wc3.
I haven't played AB with meepos yet. But it's kinda fun, problem is it's so random. Get any agi ranged and it's usually gg, get any melee str and it's usually gg I lose. Kinda sucks, I want to quit immediately if I get like earthshaker.
Ints are nice because they are usually naturally able to support 3/4 active spells. For agi/str heroes, need to prioritize the passives, but by then the good active spells are usually gone.
Fun game mode though when you wanna play something different.
In the past 2 months, i played 372 AD and just 150 ranked. Guess we could say im addicted to this mode?
If you are melee your first pick should be some ranged orb or some stuns, it's not that bad. Usually the team with most stuns wins in my games.
But meepo ulti + nukes, eventually necro heal is really broken!
I played my fair share of LOD/BLOD on dota2ware and I have to say I think I like ability draft more. I wish every hero was represented though, and some skills definitely need to be polished off. For example, Lion's Mana Drain is visually bugged, Silencer's orb doesn't grant INT steal (the hero is defacto one of the best shells if no the best because he retains this with no abilities!) and Elder Titan's spirit can't be returned unless you actually select the spirit, making it clunky as hell.
It's harder to create something truly broken, but having first pick gives you access to skills that are pretty much going to always work; Shukuchi, Divided We Stand, Permanent Invisibility, and Sticky Napalm are always going to lead to some nasty good shit.

Meepo ulti didn't ruin in that bad. You only get a Meepo once every 20 or so games, unless you are really unlucky/lucky.
So meepo ulti plus a nuke means all your images nuke? Like 4 dragon knight fire breaths? Lol that's awesome.
Yes, which is why when you pick Meepo ulti, the enemy team will answer by picking all the nukes they can (even if they are a PA who definitely can't sustain them), but there will be always something for you to claim.
One of the most hilarious I got was Meepo ulti + Decay
Add heroes choosing, All Abilities, Be able to ban two abilities before picking or (ban1 pick1 ban1 pick 4), Allow a vote system to play again or play in x2 mode.

Hi guys, I'd like to know if some of you think the way I do about this mode.
At Dota Bys (WC3) you were able to create a new hero from several others, you could even choose which hero (from the ones you were given).
On the other hand Ability Draft, as its name suggest, its much similiar to a race, where its not much about creating but instead, being luckier, maybe smarter, decides your fate. You can't really create a hero, you only put some pieces togheter. (There is never a plan, and even if there is, most of the times you won't be able to follow/complete it)
In my opinion, the two modes are very different and it kinda saddens me not having an actual Dota Bys Mode.
What do you guys think? Which one do you prefer? Are we seeing a real Bys Mode any time soon? Or am I just talking rubbish?
