Old game mode DOTA

[RareBreed]

Is there any way to have an autobot host -ardmemfrulfnsc for a few days?

[RareBreed]

Or any way we can reintroduce voting for game modes back into the lobby?

[aRt)Y]

Can you explain what the mode means and why people would support your suggestion?

[RareBreed]

A game mode that was really popular back in the day looked something like this
-ardmemfrfnulscbos6

SD Skill draft
S5 Allows the hero to pick only 5 skills (1 ult 4 regular skills)
S6 Allows for a 6 skill draft
S4 Sets the game up for a 4 skill game, like back in the old days
AR All random
DM Deathmatch(when you die you get a new hero)
FN Fast Neutral(monsters in forest spawn faster)
FR Faster Respawn
UL Unlimited levels(25 is not the max)
OM Creeps only spawn mid lane
NT Remove top lane creeps from the game
NB Remove bottom lane creeps from the game
NM Remove mid lane creeps from the game
SC Super creep spawns every so often
BO I think bo is balance on

Changing the game mode every now and then adds a different element of fun to the game. Instead of picking the same old wolf form carry or MC wrath build you're given random skills that change every time you die and because the skills randomize upon every death the game is played through luck, strategy through usefulness and item build planning. It also gives us a chance to test FUN/Silly builds that nobody would have ever picked in a normal draft game.

and typing -omg into the game after you type the mode allows for no cooldown on skills/items and no mana cost for any spells. Which is complete chaos but A lot of fun.

Sounds more like a "fun" mode you would do for private hosting as I could imagine many players not liking that.
Besides, enabling -omg manually is against the rules.

Please get a few DotA players who support your suggestion to get the discussion going else we will have to reject it.

Yay!

Yes it is a funner mode to play. but its hard to fill a game room for it when everybody is looking for the usual sds6 dota bot. If we had the option to vote for game modes again then we could play only in the chance that more want to play. I talked to a bunch of people who were in a lobby for sds6 that wanted to play, they just didnt want to leave a full room, look for the new room, and wait for everybody else to follow(if they didnt get lost along the way). The voting option is the easiest and was used it the past.

@rarebreed

You can't !votemode ? I'm pretty sure it is enabled atm. What bot are you referring to?

[RareBreed]

[ENT] LoD -sds6bod2fn #67
Is auto set to -sds6bod2fn.
before, ent would host something like this [ENT] LoD DotA #67, then after you entered the lobby you could vote for 1 of the 4 or 5 game modes they had pre-set into a bot system. -ardmemfr -sds5fnemul -aps6emboul -sds6bod2fn is a rough outline of what the game modes use to look like.

all random death match
skill draft 5 skills
pick from all the skills in the game 6 skill draft
then the normal skill draft with six skills and a limited amount of heros to choose from

Barely public input and combo seems questionable for an autohosted bot.

Denied.
