Good job on ruining lod. Just as expected, players who dont know each other, dont care for others builds. Theres less teamwork, since someone got mad from draft, that other player picked his skill. This is total chaos! Please, get the old mode back

It’s a very popular mode on RGC where there are 100 times more lod players. It’s popular because people like it I guess. People like it because it’s good I guess.

I agree with thread creator. LoD is ment to be unbalanced with 5x mc wrath if it happens. Right now, non stacker have 0 change to play against stacked team. Half of the player don't chat at all, so you can't even ask them to remove 1 skill that is required for your build, or we will have such player that will ruin other builds for purpose. Moreover, if you afk for a while, and came later to pick you skills (still in the picking time) you probabbly gonna have trash skills since everythins usable would be picked already.

EDIT. Beside that, game name is incorrect in the lobby

this is the start of it.. i think give it time mate and all will understand and enjoy it. id rather this problem to solver or waiting in lobby for such time and starting the game and facing duplicated drafts.

Just my 2c - Would it not be beneficial for people to be able to vote in the lobby some how? Majority wins and is announced prior to the start of the game. Personally, I'm not a fan of the new mode - there are some strong arguments about it but overall I feel that ever since I've been playing LOD (Which quite frankly isn't that long) there has been some form of imbalance (either a stacked game which is pretty common, or just unlucky with skills) and that you need to adapt to the situation. How is anyone supposed to get good if they don't struggle?

Anyway, I do want to say that this new mode allows people to pick new skills/combo's but let's face the reality - someone is going to complain when you do fail.

You only gave it two days after the mode got approved, which was Fri Dec 14, 2018 3:29 pm. Certainly, there will be chaos because people aren't settled with a newly introduced mode yet.
The screenshot you uploaded was from a typical flamer who doesn't speak English well. Banned here - viewtopic.php?f=24&t=138667
He doesn't state anywhere clearly that he hates the mode - http://storage.entgaming.net/replay/vie ... 623083.w3g (You can actually see pretty good communication with teammates in the chat log)

Lobby name was noted. As for the skill "Required" to complete your build seems apocryphal. We've discussed the possibilities of a lower draft(d2) that may interfere with people choosing their spells. With +12 hero's added it's a higher possibility of everyone getting a good draft. I just find it absurd you need "1 spell" to make your build work. Wanting to vs x5 mc wrath makes me wonder on how your view of LoD being unbalanced is characterized.

LoD drama queens complaining? That's nothing new. Lobby vote won't work with how it is now, not enough people. If people don't like the mode they voted for, they all leave. Regarding imbalance, why not give newer players a chance to experience a good build with d3 taverns? they have endless possibilities.

not that its worse, just feels less fun now

Unfortunately not possible. We only have limited modes to choose from as this is an old map and never updated since 1.26 because of other maps not being compatible with further patches.

Old mode was so much fun, even if all had mc. People did not care, they were jus having fun. Bring it back.

Guess we should listen to those who don’t care and host the mode they want

I don't know if u play lod, but players pick specific set of skills over and over. Maybe not the most, but variety of skills are not used in lod at all.

Please read the discussion - viewtopic.php?f=14&t=133029

Try to view the possibilities this mode offers and how it makes LoD better.

@Desire dont you think there are too many people you trying to convince about the good new mode?

Jerichos words describe all my thoughts in 3 sentences. if i have swipes fervor duel and mc wrath in same draft, i pick the one i prefer at the moment. not the one "thats left"
