    over 1 year of following (wasn't the first ?), with moderator moves "without ever having seen one.".

    I am sad you know ?
    hasted of time ?


    I understand your misery, but the developer that made this rarely ever visits the forums. We actually had to go specifically find him and ask him about it.

    I hope you understand. Best of luck,

    IMPLEMENTED ON HON Version 1.0.3
    -------------
    Pre-Game

    - Added "Potential Hero Selection" functionality
    * At the hero selection screen, you can right-click on any hero to make it your "Potential Hero"
    * Spectators and anyone on your team can see your potential hero (the enemy team can't)
    * If you run out of time, you will select that hero rather than randoming
    !!
    YEAH BABY !


    Idejder watch it !.


    After the lobby master start the game, you have to choose your hero.
    then, what about to set on it a brilliance aura/special color to announce your future pick?

    Tks all players who makes it Popular!

    ps: S2 has choose to set an opacity avatar ...

    What does it do ?:

    Set a brilliance aura in the heroes room.
    Bad drawn example:

    yellow pre-selection


    other possibility:
    set a 50% opacity filter + player colors pre-selection.


    How it works ?:

    - This aura will be seen only by your team, and with this you'll announce what hero you will take.
    - This aura will feat your player's color.
    - This aura is not mandatory to pick a hero. (you can simply left-click as usual to chose yours)
    * if you prefer to chat/TS/MsM/Skipe/so on you still can do it

    How to set it ?

    Possibilities:
    - right click on heroes
    - Left click once to set aura. Left click again to choose the hero.
    - (or what ever it is)

    Pros:

    - flood on chat screen doesn't matter. we keep seeing your choice.
    - Improve seeing imba pick like 3 carry or 3 int.
    - Does not modify/nerf current game work-through
    * the rebuy pick penalty,
    * and the strategy you could take with the vision of a fast picker


    Cons:

    - Do not encourage players to pick rapidly - depending on the aura's duration time -
    (basically giving in to the notion that people should wait the full 2 minutes before they pick)



    Goind deep under:
    This section is in discussion/construcion, please dont vote on number

    / construction on

    - Two players of the same team cannot set a color on the same hero, BUT two opposite players could.
    - This aura should disappear before the end of pick timer: @0:30 ?
    * We have 2:00 to pick and
    you HAVE to chose or random @0s.
    * To encourage a fast picking the aura's duration time should be short
    * Enough
    aura's duration time should be left to synchronize team.

    -
    in case both team has completely pre-choose (no change during 10s): a noise is sent (here possible sounds)
    * All ready ?
    * Push ready !
    * All pre-chosen !
    * HAHAHA ! impatient to die ?
    - in case every body has pre-choose, a timer is set to auto pick: 15s
    * this timer will never start before 1:30
    *
    in case someone change or dismiss his aura the timer is removed.

    / construction off

    Good question.
    This should be solve @20s, the aura should disappear and players should be force to pick or random as usually at 0s.
    BTW, a double aura will never happen, as 2 players cannot chose the same hero, even in the same team.
    if 2 opposite players has planed to chose the same hero, then two aura will be placed on the same hero but nobody will see it.
    It will be the same has today. Fast pick = first pick .

    We should be introducing measures to encourage people to pick as quick as possible (like blind pick) rather than encouraging people to needlessly wait for 2 whole minutes before clicking their hero at the last second.
    We have two kind of thinking here.
    1/ Fast picking
    2/ Synchronized pick

    I prefer a synchronised pick as the game will be more balanced. To encourage players to not wait until 2:00, I suggest to dismiss the aura @1:00.

    This solution will nerf

    - and the strategy you could take with the vision of a fast picker.



    I need you to bump it.
    PLZ, Keep on the discussion & Vote for it.

    This is a good idea, it will make it much easier to work together to make a good team in pubs where some people dont like to chat

    Somebody vote no. What is the reason ?
    I really did not understand, cause this is a pure improvement without any regression/restriction/nerf. if someone have an idea ?

    Very nice idea.

    Not sure about the "auto-pick @ 20s." That's a little early for a strategic pick. I'd rather not have that negative side-effect of this otherwise useful feature.

    Why not just make it so that team choices in SD don't display to the other team? Is there any reason to make people wait 2 minutes so everyone can pick and swap last second to reproduce this effect?

    This solution will nerf the penalty on rebuy a pick.

    It will be the same has today. Fast pick = first pick .

    Lol, wait until at least a day has passed until you bump again, or else it will look like your topic lacks interest.

    However, I like this idea. Even if I am in a team where all uses chat, the comments window always scroll, so people writing what they will pick always disappears. If people right-click the portrait of the hero they are about to pick, you will easier keep focus on the situation.

    I dunno how much it would be used, but a great suggestion nevertheless. Thumbs up.

    Hero Selection Screen Pings
    Sell Icon animation! - New suggestion
