HELLOOO PEOPLEEEESSSSS



so its a new week meaning a NEW THEORY EXERCISEEEE!!!

god i can feel your excitement from here!!

ok so this one is a bit more complicated but i feel will be a good theory crafting exercise that will show the process of predictive drafting based upon an enemies possible strategy, this will also show how to accurately predict the laning set-up of an enemy team. GLHF

ok so with out futher ado .... THEORY EXERCISE 5

STEP ONE: you will be given a draft of 5 heroes 3 of which will be HIDDEN.
STEP TWO: you must Predict the hidden heroes and draft a counter draft.
STEP THREE: PREDICT THE LANING



NOTES: i have a pool of 12 heroes that are in the HIDDEN POOL. When you predict the HIDDEN heroes if you PREDICT correctly i will assign those heroes to you. YOU MUST GET ALL THREE RIGHT!. IF you only get 2 predictions right i will be able to choose any hero from the pool. possibly ruining your laning predictions. you have been WARNEDDDDD MUWAHAHAA




Skywrath Mage

HIDDEN HERO ONE

HIDDEN HERO TWO

Mirana

HIDDEN HERO THREE



BEGINNNN

I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL.... WITH FLUFFY BUNNIES

Alright, mirana ult, easy combo with skywrath, I would see a Faceless Void there to do the combo with all 3

Obviously mirana support with skywrath, roaming skywrath with mirana arrow
For maximum rape I would see a Viper or a Razor to destroy in teamfights, since both are awesome mids, but I'd put Viper offlane
Third here... hum... Clockwerk could be a possibility, but then he will be offlane and viper mid, so I think I'll go with these three

It's a mid game strat with a lot of damages possible


Counter: a Silencer that is fast with his keyboard


Edit: this draft sounds pretty much 6.81
Spoiler: Click to view

uh, well here goes
hidden heroes;
- Bane
- Faceless Void
- Legion Commander

counter draft;
- Silencer
- Naga Siren
- Tidehunter
- Rubick
- Shadow Demon

lane predictions;

offlane: Faceless Void
midlane: Mirana
safelane: Legion Commander, Skywrath Mage
roaming: Bane
Your new diet for heroes; You will need 4 wards (cuz wards taste better), 1 set of tangoes, 1 mango, 1 cheese.
With this you can make a nice Tango Mango Cheese platter. You can wash this all down with a nice bottle of water, Can be flavoured with red, green, yellow, blue, purple AND GOLD!
Caution: Taking roshan 3 times is required.

safelane: Legion Commander, Skywrath Mage

ohhh i likey a lot of counter initiation and initiation. you kinda will be winning team fights.

i honestly think your draft is very very very strong.

at all stages of the game.

the only way i can see my draft winning is if you spread too much and allow the roaming duo of clockwerk skywrath to get kills.
gg wp good picks and that rubick pick up completely negates any real problems.

well done

Thanks. I think. anyway with your knew line-up would you have Mirana in the offlane, Bane mid and Faceless Void safelane?

because, mirana is actually decent mid, i mean if you had a legion mid, I could easily pick up a Razor and make your cs = 0. faceless was offlane because utility with legion as 1 role. mirana was 2.
