I'm sure this is bullshit, but I swear to god I've seen way more of them in the past couple of weeks for some reason. I used to get them occasionally, many times recently I've had 2 or 3 on a team before.

Edit:

Just played sniper with impetus + sniper range + LS's passive (wish I could have got something better than that.) I went 18 and 5, but we lost. Rest of the team was just dying too easy in teamfights. If I had a more solid team in front of me I would have got way more. Fun, though.

So I've found a Queue'ing glitch. If you d/c while queue'd and close the client. Your spot in the queue is still held. Can come back 4 hours later and insta queue before you even fully load the client. Repeated this three times so far.

I don't think i can stand these fucking spanish/portuguese fucks. It's all im getting in my fucking games.
I'm getting these guys and Russians. And people who try out a new hero in fucking ranked.

I've lost 475 MMR in the past 5 days. My KDR is positive, my lane is won 85% of the time, I deliver first blood a solid half of the time. Around the halfway point, the Russian/Spanish/Portuguese/Lolfaggot will overextend and die 3-4 times. We lose the subsequent 4v5, because no matter how hard I am winning my lane, someone on my team is losing theirs harder.

4200 down to 3725 and counting. I'll win one, then lose 3-4.

I feel the pain, down 4000->3400. My issue has been people taking captain and not knowing wtf is a decent draft before I can take the hat or group queue'ing and pulling the "get these heroes or feed" bs.

Nature's Prophet w/ Wraithfire, Thunderclap, static field, perma invis + max dagon, necro3, euls, and bots. By the end of the game I had a pond full of gems, I felt like the wizard of the emerald city.

First game I tried, I was the first to pick skills and I wasn't ready, and little did I know it auto-assigned one, and it gave me....Drow's ult...on Rooftrellen. I had even noticed that in the pool and been like "Boy that would suck to have as a melee."

Got a decent axe with Blink Strike, Hoof Stomp, Wraith King's stun, and Ursa's ult. Strong but not as imba as the things you guys are describing. Last game went against a Skywrath Mage who got DK's ult and it gave him something like 930 attack range. It was incredibly, incredibly lame. He also had Luna's passive and some other +damage passive, so in like no time he was around 120+80 damage attacking across the screen and the speed boost from dragon flight was enough that he could just attack all of us down even if we tried to run. It was gay.

Even so, Ability Draft is hella fun.

The number of early abandons in Ability Draft is absurd, I had 3 back-to-back games where someone abandons within a few minutes of starting. Sadly in one game I had managed to get Medusa with Split Shot and Slark's agility drain and some other fun stuff

Bane with Dragon Breath, Mystic Snake, Sacred Arrow and Lasso was fun

Team feeds 5 kills in 2 minutes and I start to rage because I got Sniper with Headshot, Feral Spirit, and backtrack as my 3 abilities. Gogo no mana. There were terrible ultimates so I ended up with Eldar Titan ulti which wasn't too bad at least.

I proceed to rape mid game even though my team had downs, I didn't notice our Lycan had Bloodseeker's damage buff AND Empower (Mag's damage buff) so mid to late game was easy mode even though we were down like 1-10 or so in the first several minutes.

No abandons yet though I definitely wanted to at the beginning of my last game. Sorry Luthair!

Edit: I got comfortable not remembering every name of every spell and just notice what every hero does, but now its a pain communicating to people without knowing every spell name.

Saw iceiceice get pudge, take rot, lina passive, omni heal, and alchemist ult. It was, hilarious, rot like perma stacks lina passive, he could run everyone down with rot, tank towers once he hit 6, he was diving base and camping fountain in like 10 minutes

Dunno how you guys find that mode fun. Half the time whoever dies first just abandons, and the games dont even count toward anything so nobody seems to care at ALL.

I think midwars is more fun than this... It should be an actual RANDOM ability mode imo.

Haven't seen a single abandon, and people go to the low priority just the same if they abandon. I assume it has to do with your rating, if you're closer to new accounts rating I guess you get more people leaving.

Oddly I've had Bane about half the time, and almost always first or last pick.

I think its partly novelty and partly the absurdity of interactions of some abilities.

I'm around 3k so I doubt that is the cause :/

I mean your normal ranking not your ranked ranking, they're separate unless you play ranked with this mode but I don't even know if you can, I assume not.

The most OP'd random ability draft game I have had so far was this combo. Some Lich went 35-1 and could one shot the entire team by level 7. Adding Walrus Punch as the Ultimate would have been ridiculous:

Jinada (Bounty Hunter)
Duration: 3
Movement Speed Slow: 25%
Attack Speed Slow: 25
Critical Damage: 150% / 175% / 200% / 225%

Enchant Totem (Earthshaker)
Bonus: 100%/200%/300%/400%
Duration: 14 seconds or 1 attack

Despite my best attempts I have yet to come up with an awesome/original killer combo of my own. The most rapist one I got hit with, was CK with Reality Rip, Headshot, and Strafe. Fucking pull you in and then chain-bash the shit out of you.
