    Just remove bans mid wars

    I'm sick and tired of not being able to play devourer. I try to be nice and not ban the big 3 but then someone bans my dev and takes artillery and just steamrolls my team.

    This is how you need to setup mid wars: no bans but qued picks like in dota. If Team A starts first, they get one pick, then Team B gets 2 picks. That's fair.

    The banning phase in mid wars is to stop the same heroes being picked every single game making the mode stale. It's reasonable to assume you will get to play those heroes sooner or later anyway.

    queue with friends and tell them to not ban whatever hero you want to play. Many times, the other team will assume your team will ban said heroes, allowing you to play them if you pick fast.

    read as: "I'm sick and tired of not being able to break midwars. I pray nobody is dumb enough to ban a hero that wins every single midwars game by himself, but then someone always bans him and I have to cry myself to sleep."

    I never ban Devourer, because I assume the other team will do so anyway. Every once in a while, the other captain has the same thought and then we get to try and spam click him. You should get to play him every once in a while, because I am not the only person who does this.

    I think a random draft procedure might be more interesting. Straight out removing bans from regular midwars turns it into AP which means you'll be seeeing Flint/Artillery/Behe/Devo almost every single game.

    I dont like current setup.. Would prefer a mode more like the old BD with a slightly larger hero pool and no bans

    Just All random midwars that should be the default setting.

  11. #11
    I would like to see the mode that was most fun: Blue/Pink random, rest follow, duplicate heroes. Nothing like 5 Magmus vs 5 Pollywog priests, for example.

    QFT all random should be default since random is the only way to get diversity! (if the quote is ****ed I blame my phone)

    True, but after playing so many games, the mode already is stale, because you wind up seeing the same 30 heroes or so. As has been stated numerous times in this thread, an option needs to be added to matchmaking to liven up Mid Wars like all random, duplicate heroes. Or else Mid Wars will become as defunct of a "big update" as Hon TV was.

    The mode gets stale quick because it isn't as fun the classic mid wars

    it should be removed, Midwars is for fun and with banning it becomes way to serious

    I am noticing a trend of people hosting "old school midwars" on the FoC map with dupes etc... It's so different to midwars people used to play, many liked PINK/BLUE, others just dupes and some sd/ar and then the map itself promoted different gameplay; on FoC it was much more carry-centric.

    It was more carry-centric because standard play was the game went into a backdoor-fest after middle rax were destroyed and people still wanted their psr. Also the only reason those mid wars games would regularly go over 60 mins. If the game would somehow end after mid rax were destroyed most games would be in the 20-30 min range.
