Game modes

All Pick
Players can pick whichever hero they want. Players can swap hero with team mates before the game starts.

Single Draft
Each player is given a pool of three heroes (one strength, one agility, and one intelligence) to choose from.

Captain's Mode
One Captain is selected from each team. The Captains then pick or ban Heroes in order to fill their team's composition. Captain's Mode is typically used in tournaments to add a layer of strategy and fairness to team composition.

The pick and ban order for Radiant and Dire is: BAN BAN BAN BAN PICK PICK PICK PICK PICK PICK BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN BAN PICK PICK PICK PICK

Random Draft
The game randomly selects 22 heroes, which are put in a circle. In turns, the teams will select characters.

First Radiant picks 1 hero. Blue will have 20 seconds to select his hero. Then pink and grey will have 20 secs to pick a hero. And so on...

(Radiant- 1|Dire- 2|Radiant- 2|Dire- 2|Radiant- 2|Dire- 1)

Reverse Draft
Like Captain's Mode, but Radiant's captain picks the heroes for the Dire and vice verse.

WTF Mode
Abilities have no cooldown or mana cost. WTF Mode is only available in custom games with cheats allowed. To enable WTF Mode, type -wtf in chat
