little guide to manipulation in AP Pubs and getting a good team.

Step1.

load into pub and dont pick.

wait until your team has hovered over something they want. if it is something good like lesh then what you do is hover over it as well... so they see you hovering over it and what they will then do is PICK IT BECAUSE **** YOUJ GETTING MY HERO...

step2.

you have now got them to pick a strong meta hero...

another player on your team is hovering over a support... hover over the hardest carry in the game like medusa or spectre... this will them force them to go wtf i defs better pick this support and they will pick it.... ez game

step3.

the ****** on ur team (cause there is always one and if there isnt then i have bad news for you .... its you)

ahem the ****** on your team is hovering over techies... what you do is simple....

INSTA PICK TECHIES LIKE SMASH THE HEIUVBUIE:BVUBQE OUT OF THAT PICK BUTTON

now the ****** cant play techies and is forced into something decent like a offlaner or a second support... ezzzz gammmmmmmmmee

now you have 4 people picked and your team looks good. BUT you are playing techies...

Step3.

DONT LOAD INTO THE GAME WITH TECHIES....

REPICK *GASSSSSPPPPPP* yup yup yup

you repick that mutha****er.

get a support or a carry who cares as long as it helps your team to complete a solid draft.

now thanks to your subtle manipulation of these 4 random people you actually have a chance of winning the game.

gg wp

ez game

And if no one hovers over any meta heroes?

No one hovers over any support either?

Techies instapick 2 seconds into picking?

Your team picks 3 hard carries inclusive of spectre AND medusa?

I have to say, ggwp game is lost.

ehhhh i should probably mention only try and manipulate people when you are not in the trench ....

cause trench is cancer and you cant manipulate cancer.

yep ty, was kinda looking for that

Dotabuff or it didnt happen.

how do you counter the dancers??
Dancers are those player that, like me, hover over a hero for 1 second then change to some other hero.
They confuse the heck out of the teammates and then they end up playing Crystal maiden carry, coz F.U. ice*** she is one cold hearted *****.
Much worse, how do you manipulate guys like you ,that are to manipulate people?

Except that you can't repick in ranked AP...so you can't Singsing people out of picking Techies anymore.
If you do, you end up having to play Techies yourself. And there's nothing you can do about it.

No, the only way to deal with Techies pickers in your team is to make them abandon.

How can anyone who doesn't have autism or isn't playing dota for less than a week buy it? And he did it on 3.8k+ MMR which is impossible to get for former and latter alike.

Ez proof of MMR system being broken.

Couldn't agree more. AP has this very irritating feature where everybody waits for the last possible second to counterpick and everybody loses the runes (I've seen it happening), which feels a bit like cheating, since if you want to do that counterpicking game go to captains, not AP. I would love to suggest to Icefrog a change: when you don't pick your hero by the time the match starts, you are instantly randomed. Because reasons.
