So, about the new mode All Random Deathmatch..

... what do you guys think about it? Probably many of you played Dota 1 and are used to it, but for me was a whole new experience, and I have to admit that... it's fun to play! Trying to survive the longest when you get a hero you know how to use well, and wondering what you'll get when you're waiting to respawn... that'a a nice thrill :D

But now talking about strategy... sometimes it's a bit unfair because it's quite a matter of luck, last night in a match the enemy team got such lucky picks like Viper, Zeus, and a Spectre that was ukillable most of the game and when we finally kill him... he gets back as huskar -__- I noticed also that it kinda sucks when it's near lategame and you get agility carries, that are quite useless and squishy because you don't have the right items... like I got in the same game Morphling (that I can't play), Drow and Clinkz but I had so little damage and felt like I was sooo slow.


Also, what do you think about the build for this mode? In the said match me and my team went for Hand of Midas and when we saw the enemy stack Dagon we did it too, but I'm not sure it was for the best, most of the game the only items I had where the midas, dagon and arcane boots :/

I played a couple of matches with the hidden console command some weeks ago, it's really fun if you're lucky with the Heroes.

Talking about item builds I usually build Blink Dagger and Power Treads on any Hero, it works for the majority of them and never disappoints. Sometimes I get Mekansm and Drum of Endurance too, but a lot of times I find myself playing a carry like Weaver or Anti-Mage having no damage items and no mana to sustain the Mek. I try to stay away from Dagon builds since a team will always need utility Heroes and auras in general.

What peppo said, get items that are good for every hero and aura stack.
