Just had one of the worst games ever. I've been playing captain's mode lately because people talk a bit more and picks are "better"...sometimes.
We had a bad draft but that wasn't the problem, our cap picked cm, nyx, sand king and invoker and one guy says "I can't play none of those, pick me pl". Cap said he had an idea for a strong aggresive trilane so no pl was drafted and the guy ends up playing exort invoker, doesn't cast much stuff outside of forged spirits, sunstrike and coldsnap. The guy rushes necro books after his core items... and he doesn't use the summons for anything
He complained about not knowing what we picked for him but what if we gave him pl? He would've sucked too because he couldn't micro at all. I mocked him a bit but I think it's mostly captains' fault that make stuff like this happen. Invoker/micro related heroes shouldn't be picked for someone else unless they tell you that they can play it.
Last night we played a cm match with Chew and a friend, we could've been outdrafted as hell but for all I cared we had good picks that anyone should be able to play and we did great. http://dotabuff.com/matches/544831682 The strongest draft is the one that has the heroes players feel the most comfortable with. Also, I just banned things everyone hates, which just makes it easier on the team. I think that's how pub cm matches should be played, instead of copying pro player's draft.
