SD is the best, you get a str, agi and int hero, what more do you want? And if youre still not satisfied, u can swap it with other heroes of your team.
The whole point of picking is to counter...
People joining AR know very well the destination of the game.
Some of you said AR mode is bad. Guys, check the question again. best mode for "PUB"AR is the best, at least there is a chance that some of players have to play support. If the players who are in your team are skillful enough then you will win anyway with some exception. Players win this game, not heros.At public game you can not expect all of your team mates have some brain. It happened a lot: the first 3 picks in my team: snip, trax, troll. wtf!! Plus AP mode lovers take always same hero. i.e: http://lagabuse.com/stats/player/1/90percentofwin/ladder-games/1/1orhttp://lagabuse.com/stats/player/1/ursaprosu/ladder-games/6/1No one can make me belive this players are real pros! for RD game? you're doomed if you are at 9th or 10th slot. Poor you...
AR is very fun for me, there is always some innovative pick and so u can go mega weird lanes like 2melee vs 2melee, this style of game is completely diffrent from the standard one, I mean carry support dual, wooder and some offlane hero + midder ofc and every game the same. For example i once had to play razor support roamer, cuz no other supports, but still we won and i had fun playing it
