TL; DR- Add another mode to mid wars like all random, duplicate heroes.
Let me preface this post by saying that I have thoroughly enjoyed mid wars since it's release. The newly designed map is perfect for the mode, and the flow of the game (through respawn timers and gold gain) is done very nicely. The only thing that I have noticed as a potential drawback to the game mode in matchmaking is the lack of variety in hero picks.
Generally, people are playing to have fun, and that means winning the game. It seems, more or less, we see the same 30 or so heroes picked in all mid wars games, as these have the most viability for the game mode. Over time this causes the game play to become somewhat stale. Which is why I believe there are more modes needed for mid wars.
Granted, we can choose whatever mode we desire in public games, but that takes away the convenience of matchmaking; the ease of joining a game and the amount of players searching for MM mid wars as opposed to public.
Personally, I would love to see an all random, duplicate hero mode implemented as another choice to all pick. I think the wisest decision would be to add another more "fun" mode like this, instead of allowing players to choose as many options as in public created games. It would add needed variety to mid wars, and personally I think would add a much more chaotic and therefore fun element.
I hope S2 is considering adding at least some other game mode to mid wars, because I think it is almost essential in order for the appeal of the mode to stay fresh.
TL; DR- Add another mode to mid wars like all random, duplicate heroes.
Thanks for reading.
