I kinda like being able to ban one character, but why can't I be the same character as a player on the opposing team? Suuuuuper lame and unfair.

It is a really good idea to not be able to play the same hero otherwise you can't deny the enemy heros

Just counter what they pick if they get your main, if it truely is your main you should know what heroes create a problem for your hero a and a rough idea how they play, just pick that hero and mimic.

Because that wouldn't successfully eliminate the meta. Remember the Ardan, Kestrel, and Skye combo? Let's say they are still overpowered. If we only kept the ban feature, only 2 of these heroes would be banned. That means the other one could still be played. So most likely, people would choose one of the 3, and that hero would be meta, thus destroying the point of draft mode(the point is to eliminate overused heroes).

If you didn't get that, basically if you could play heroes that are on the other team, there's no point of draft mode.

I think draft mode is horrible. Nothing like limiting a player's options. If I like playing a certain hero, I'd have more fun playing and losing than playing on a hero I don't enjoy playing. Also, if I spend money to get a hero, why should be another player's choice whether or not I'm allowed to play him. Almost everyone bans the hero I like playing the most. I still win matches, but I don't particularly enjoy the game as much as other games that don't allow other players to limit my options. I'm also on the fence about not having enemies play the same heros. On one hand, it makes for an interesting match. On the other hand, there really is no better competition than playing against someone who chooses the same hero as you.

I play the game as much for fun as I do for competition. It's just not that much fun anymore. Lose draft mode. It's been a source of frustration, not just because people don't know how to counter enemy picks with appropriate matches, but because they simply would rather play the heros they have the most fun in. In truth, I win more on heros I don't particularly enjoy playing with. Sometimes I like the challenges presented with other heros.

Play casual

Love the draft mode! That's where the game actually begins. A team that can win the draft has a big advantage right out of the gate. Hopefully when you are playing with friends, you draft the most desirable heroes first, even if you don't plan on using them. Thats what the swap feature is for after the draft before you go IG.

playing casual is what I have been doing. It's just a shame the fun was taken out of rank.

Stop complaining

Ok I'm starting to believe draft mode complainers are just stuck up players of Vg or there just our new cancer of VGF. Because in all honesty draft mode is much much better then casual mode and has its own independent strategy to choosing heroes, picking your bans. You can't just go in with a set team, in draft it's about being flexible and being ready to counter teams that have been made on the spot.
