Title: Game Modes
Post by: Shagon on July 14, 2011, 08:42
Did you know that there some commands that you have never seen ? Example : -rv <-- Reverse Mode ( You pick a hero for YOUR OPPONENT ) or -id  Item Drop. When you die, a random inventory slot will drop an item. -cp Capture Point. Specific areas appear at 10 minute mark. Capturing them grants various bonus auras.
I would love to play one -RV game because I'd like to see how do they react :)

Also there are some commands I didn't know they existed like -C and -CO
c   Center. Locks the camera on your hero.
co   Centeroff. Turns center mode off.

For more information on Game Modes and other in-game commands click THIS LINK (http://www.playdota.com/learn/commands).

was thinking that -cp was just in one special map and its on from that version, interesting
dunno if -c is useful, in replays is autocamera is nice to have an eye on hero you want watch but in game its more useful to control it for your own to click where you want on map, with locked screen you can push it :D

If low players can only play any mode (maybe), can't any player would not play low mode anytime (with or without)?

You can see more modes on pd.eu except sd, rd and ap - ar, tr and games with em but these sux :)
Once I played duplicate mod, but it sucked. I thought all will pick pudge just for fun but it didn't happedn, it was like normal game.
Last week I saw in lobby "CM pd noobs" but I was afraid to join ;D
Few times I've played wit SC (Super Creeps). Its funny when you see "Ancient hydra has spawned on bottom lane" and all players just run bot to kill it and get bunch of money.

I would like to see Reverse mod, imo it would be disaster ;D
Item drop is shit imo.
Capture point seems to be very interesting to me but I think it can be quite hard. For more info click to this link (http://www.dota-utilities.com/2010/03/dota-capture-point-mode-guide-dota.html).

-CM
Captains Mode. Blue and Pink take turns banning heroes, then take turns picking heroes. These heroes are then chosen by members of their team.

-CD
Captains Draft. 24 random heroes are selected. Then Blue and Pink take turns banning heroes, then picking heroes. Then the players on each team pick from their team's heroes.

-ii
Item info. Shows items of allied heroes on multiboard.

its like this now its balanced for reacting on bans and pick so its now on -cm like this

first ban phase: 1-1-1-1-1-1
first pick phase: 1-1-1-1-1-1
second ban phase: 1-1-1-1
second pick phase: 1-1-1-1

red for one team green for second, doesnt matter if  sent or scourge, its random or chosen at start
helped?

People never use it because mostly everyone wants its own pick, so in -cm mode it'd be arguing vs captain "Pick ***** for me, pls*, "OMG I can't play this hero ffs" "***** has left the game" (this would happen in random pub -cm game) :D And picking/banning takes another cca 5 minutes longer (depends on the cpts) for the game :D It is played mostly in priv games afaik :)
