Be ready for a lot of Necro and Omni
When you have a 112% chance to win, who wouldnt have fun!
I don't know why many of you like to play random draft so much. It's fine but if you want to set up team work and character integration all pick would be a better option.

I'm not sure I won my solo safelane WK against a disraptor and bristle D:
Edit---
Agree with no more RD. We end up with some truly terrible hero compositions
All pick is where its at
Seems like for a long time it resulted in the best games. Dunno how we fell into it really. I'm down to do some real drafts! Or all random.
I'm randoming in all pick. Can't resist the dollah dollah's
Counterpicking is what makes all pick worse than random draft. Of course you can counter pick in random draft but you have to be more creative since the pool is shared and limited. I like all pick because i can random and I don't really take it as seriously as random draft. I'm willing to take more risks with plays or item/skill builds. I like random draft because it forces you think more about creating a team. I tend to try hard in random draft. I will buy bkb in random draft but most likely not in all pick.
Thats what makes it more interesting for me. CM takes to long to get started.
That will help with creating good team comps.
I don't want to be one of those assholes that waits til the timer ticks to zero to pick. If we want to do team composition we need to draft!
Lets! I enjoy constructing a good team more so than just going into All Pick and everyone clicks random. While that's fun every once in a while, if we have a full team, I enjoy winning a lot more.
I honestly want to do another MGAF Grudge match type games again. I told Az if he wanted to do it in the middle of our little feud and all he said was sure and then never responded when I asked him more about it. Damn Clemson fan.
Just practice in a solo game. The Shadow Fiend challenge but with not-Shadow-Fiend.
Also, you guys should play AR if you're bad enough dudes.
I mean, its more of the same. If you hit a wall now, its probably not worth going through for you.
I didn't even make it that far. Just play Max!
Thank you for proving my point. ;P
I've stacked plenty with all of you. Everyone needs to look in the mirror on this one.

I know I've told you not to auto attack creeps, but that's about as far as I go with people I don't play much with. It's really not fair to blanket statement that one.
I could look in the mirror and say that I need to point out mistakes more often, but that's just not my personality (at least not with people we actually play with). If we're not full stacked and it's just randoms on my team, i complain all the time, but still, usually not to them.
I point out when CB isn't helping his fellow support, but that's about as useful as pointing out and commending EZ for actually buying everything.
I don't always auto attack creeps. When I'm laning with someone who needs last hits I will defer and focus only on harass/denies/etc. Will I accidentally hit a creep or three sometimes? Yes.
Now when I see the entire enemy team in the other two lanes with no means of getting back up to my/my partner's lane and I think we can press the advantage, I'm going to attack the creeps. I play aggressively, I want to push towers as fast as possible. That's how I like to play the game.
Someone else said it earlier and probably said it best. The communication is terrible in most of the games; instead of criticizing/poking fun at mistakes, it should be instructive. Fastest way for me (and probably everyone else) to tune out is to hear shit talking. As if any player that makes a mistake in this game also enjoys wasting another 45 minutes of their free time getting increasingly slaughtered by the opposing team.
Everyone should have their known role/preferred playstyle among the entire group, so that any stack combination of MaddenGAF players doesn't go into matchmaking blind wondering how someone couldn't have known to be exactly where the carry wanted them to be or to have launched a stun or ult at the exact moment they wanted.

Your point is still without merit... How can you accurately comment on group dynamics in games you never play?
You play maybe 1 in 50 games with us and you've haven't played in any of these recent games that we are discussing. So please, save trying to be cute and let the people who know what is going on discuss the matter.
I'll be jumping into Dota after I get a MLB game done.
You on Void, me on Phantom Assassin, lets do this.

How dare you. I thought we were friends.

I deal with most things through humor, including frustration. Try not to make my barbs too seriously. I'm basically Susan from the Simpsons.
"I hope she didn't take my attempt to destroy her too seriously."
Like imagine if I got upset over this totally unwarranted assault on my character:
5:15 PM - CB3: oh weird
5:15 PM - CB3: you lost gboth your games today
5:15 PM - CB3: WERID
Should I take the thoughts of this mental deviant seriously? No, of course not. He thinks Metal Gear Solid is a good series and Lone Druid is a bad hero, his opinions are clearly the ramblings of a mad man.

I'm pretty sure he's talking more so about how some people react to mistakes and all that more so than talking about any of our recent games. The bottom line is he has played games with us so what he said isn't without merit.
You're the worst!
You're the best
My drow has almost a 20% higher winrate than your lone druid.

I think you completely washed over my point and took it as a negative. I'm not picking on you for it. I'm just saying, I recall having to say it, but me saying "please don't auto attack enemy creeps" is about as mean as I get to teammate in game. Meaning, I usually don't provide very much input.
I probably should more often though.

So you agree he is talking about non recent games in a discussion that is about recent games.
Glad we agree
