Modes Request

#1 Post by Rockness »

I would like to see a few more modes implemented, namely all random & some sort of draft.

Furthermore I would like to see the way in which modes are activated changed, namely being able to toggle all pick & capture mode in game rather than beforehand. This would eliminate the need to have the host bot always on all pick & would be more user friendly as a whole.

For all random I mean that every player gets a random hero, whether or not it is from the total pool of heroes or just one faction is a matter for discussion.

As for the draft there are 2 ways to deal with this as far as I know, either each player picks a hero from the pool or an assigned captain picks a lineup, basically like in Dota, but with that Eota goodness instead.

Luftwaffles has a thread where talks about a hardcore mode, so there's another for the list.

All random is already implemented. Try the "Random Heroes" checkbox.

Dekar: the ultimate ocean themed hero should buff and depend on spawn waves!

Dekar: :D

Fascinating, I always just use Host Em, so checking it hasn't been an option.

Sounds like another reason to to implement the in-game selection of modes.

I've suggested draft before and it was shot down on the logic that hero selection at the moment essentially is draft and that it's only a small step from there to organize who gets to select heroes in what order.

However, a more formal system with specific orders would be cool if it wasn't hard to implement.
