          where ideas like “having fun” are thrown out the window in the name of competition and +25 MMR.

                        bruh

                          At the MMR level I'm at (low) "all random" picks better teams than the average captain.

                          1
                          1

                            Good idea

                                The problem with Dota (or competitive gaming in general) is that often people go into a lobby, thinking "well I have to not only outplay the enemy but also play such that my team doesn't drag me down". This makes people all think that they HAVE to pick last, all the while their team is losing gold because 3-4 of the players on the team have their hero as Abbadon still and they haven't said a word even though the game is literally played on a keyboard.

                                They should add a number 1-5 that indicates what position they want to play. Its incredibly frustrating picking first because no one says anything and I don't want to lose gold, and then everyone either picking 4-5 heroes or 1-2 heroes with no thought of laning synergy.

                                Also that would help especially when I am playing a game and I am the only one that speaks English. Its hard to win when your team doesn't even understand your language or vice versa.

                                  I'd say ranked Dota was a much better place without all pick...seriously

                                    Remove mode all pick at mmr or change with mode single draft its better i think..

                                        @Hyatt. I tell my team that if they force me to pick first I hit the random button. That usually helps the scenario your describe.

                                        love my team

                                          Guy rushes to pick captain, doesn't listen to teammates suggestions, everyone gets stuck with shit heroes, -25mmr. gg

                                            if you cannot balance heroes, remove All Pick so OP heroes get banned LMAO

                                              What if Valve just set a game mode with positions 1, 2 , 3, 4 and 5. And pre-select heroes that are suitable to fit these positions?

                                                Two times captain die nothing, so no bans all random. After trat I stopped playing ranked...

                                                  @Salty McSalterson I'd rather just give you a random

                                                      @0n3.Eternal. Better hope it's not mid hero, since you're probably dying to go there.

                                                        the 3k mmr and 4k scrubs who spam to got higher mmr
                                                        so badman cant pick spec
                                                        and the scrubs cant pick OD
                                                        this is good balance from dota

                                                                I think all pick should be removed straight up from ranked. It's a team game yet no one communicates and everyone focuses on themselves

                                                                apes strong together

                                                                    Dante

                                                                      Dante

Some ppl s can play 40 0 25 Invoker and lose game cuz 4 feeders. and this perfect player lost 25 mmr.))))) REMOVE MMR SYSTEM. KDA healing damage warding dewarding. its a total idiotic mode lose -25 win +25 and ultra total reatrd 0 80 0 can goted +25 because have TRYHARD carry or midder. REMOVE SYSTEM not all pick

                                                                        Work Work

                                                                          @~Hyatt Well the problem with that is you're splitting up the players into positions they feel more comfortable in. That means more queueing times, more difficult for lower mmr players to raise their mmr (since all they do is carry no matter what).

                                                                          League of Legends does something similar and it's going well but League of Legends is also easier to learn.
                                                                          There's a jungler, support, carry, mid and tanky top laner in LoL. DotA is a lot less one dimensional and it could confuse lower mmr players to think that the game can only be played one way. Which is untrue. I'm not sure what the solution to the Ranked games is. Maybe your idea would make it a lot better but I just can't see Valve making that decision.

                                                                          miopesoy

                                                                            Since AP was disabled, I was forced to play in Cap Mode (I use 30% of heroes, so random didn't worked for me) and I loved it. I'm 1k mmr and in this MMR, toxic players are forced to play with the captain choices (always asking them first which heroes they use well). From that day I've start playing CM in all my solo MMR games. I've won 6 games in a row by now.

                                                                            Powdered Toast Man

                                                                              ez Dota

It's like: Noob Heroes Mode. And there's nothing to do on it. UNLESS, you have a really good support. The one's that gonna win are the luckiest one's, or the one's with more steam at the moment. There's not much a hero like this can do by yourself to outstand other one's.

"Ban this hero"..pick this hero.. "Let me mid"..its hard to communicate with those players ..blaming you as their captain.. Hahah.. Lol

Why does he gets that much Mana so fast he can Infinite Arcane Orb attack? It's like he doesn't need any items to own, the items are just bonuses consequence of its Arcane Orb attack. It's like Sillencer right click one but way more overpowered. Imagine, it's like having Enchantress Impetus infinite, it would be just so OP.

                                                                                              Naked

I just played a game in Captain's Mode, with players way skilled than I am, I mean higher MMR, and we won and I get 11?!?!?! MMR. Why? If I play with very noobs guys I get 25 mmr!!! So, what's the deal? I made a decent game. I played as a support and managed to have a 4.9 kda, which it's not so bad for a support. And I get 11 MMR? Kinda like charity mmr, they "donate" to me, almost nothing.
