-sdd2s6ma is the mode we need. Map maker does not fix the brokeness in balance off mode. This fixes the flow of the game a ton. Switch to this mode for happy gaming. Everything stays the same except the balances make the game more like dota where its a real enjoyable game rather than just op rape non stop where you cant even defend yourself. I play balanced mode now on another site and its a breathe of fresh air. Give it a whirl!!

Strange nobody noticed lack of 2 gold per sec :D or how towers are strong now 100-120 dmg tier 1vs 70-90 @ last stable map(easy mode removed). I expected some whiners like it was in DotA when em was removed . This mode (sdd2s6ma)nerfs some combos like grow/totem (disable it) zeuz/mc (lower mc chance) some people would disagree with this change because of this. People like imbalanced stuff its hard to change that. Hence this has to be done in open discussion with other users. Anyway i sup this but don't think others will

Theres lots of little changes that are positive. The best change is to the cheapest skill in lod, perma invis. Perm Invis used to be an ult. So at least when you took it then in knocked one of your ult slots out. Now its just a regular skill and it's extremely overpowered. All the other invis skills (lothars, ghost walk, wind walks) reveal you when you cast. With perm invis you remain invisible while you cast your spells. With balance this invis becomes just like the other invis which is fair. Balance just makes the game more about playing an enjoyable game of dota rather than imba dota rape where you dont even have time to defend yourself.

I will also add to this suggestion the ability to vote in a mode would be nice. I suggest 5 modes with 1) -sdd2s6ma being the default. 2) -sdd2s5 five skill. 3) -sdd2s4 four skill. 4) -ardms6ma all random skills. respawn with new hero when you die. 5) -ardms6om same as 4 but only mid lane is used.

sd2 = standard draft of 20 heroes
s = skill so s6 means 6 skill mode
ar = all random
dm = death match - every time you die you get a new hero
ma = mass aghanims -scepter works for both ults
om = only mid

LoD was designed as a for fun mod rather than a competitive mod. There's no need to reinvent LoD into DotA because LoD's purpose was never supposed to replace DotA. There is already plenty of fun with the current mode because it adds an element of luck to instead of relying purely on skill. If you want balance, and purely skill based gameplay, go play DotA cm mode.

[13:41] シResQシ: -bo will be removed soon

So real discussion is about if it would be more fun to have the option of mode vote at start. I've playing 4 skill LoD and it's surprisingly very fun. I like all the LoD modes just about. Not really a fan of only mid modes. Takes the gank out of dota and we just cant have that.

@I3omb

Lets try the option of voting mode. Default will always be 6 skill sd but it would be fun to switch it up and play 4 and 5 skill along with ardm. I've been playing 4 skill for a while now and it's a refreshing break from op 6 skill. Nice to have options.

If you like this mode so much you should use the hosting bots to host w/e mode you want. I think people want to play modes they know already. I don't care to change up the modes either cricket, I like it as is. That is just my opinion so yea good luck lol.

I like it how it is too Bomb and now that Ive played the other modes I know I like them too. I was reluctant to play 4 skill mode. I thought it would suck but it's really fun :)
