    Hello everyone!

    I am again seeking some advices. So i just started out a new team, and since i'll be the one drafting, i would like to know if any of you know good drafting / captaining guides.

    Like i searched on the internet but i didn't find anything really intersting.

    Thanks for your time m8s

      I dont know of any guides really, on youtube you can watch PPD draft analysis from DAC, I've checked that out and was ok. Was obviously focused on their opponents so its not a general guide but it was pretty decent to watch to see his thinking.

      I draft for my side and its not an exact science. Keep up with the meta and see what the strong combos are and pick/ban accordingly, like axe,troll,jugger,sniper are all the craze now so they are high tier bans and picks. On supports Lion,WD,Venge and IO are pretty popular so yeah, knowing meta helps.

      Most importantly for you, know your teammates..... This will help you more then any guide, play with them often so that you see which heroes they excel at or are more competent at. You cant give your offlaner brood and tell him to own if he has no idea how to abuse his strengths. Figure this out and as time goes on maybe you can ask your team to work on heroes that will fit into possible pocket strategies you come up with.

      Try drafting A good balance, this does help. Like not drafting 2 of the same supports (lock down heroes with burst but are super weak), have 1 a little more tanky or one that can roam for eg. Variety and lock down is always good. The most important thing however is to have some sort of plan, you need to try and see what your opponents are aiming for and draft accordingly, Dont counter pick as that is not a viable strategy but sometimes 1 good pick can throw off a complete draft like a silencer into a wombo combo lineup (very basic but serves this purpose).

      Good luck

        I dont know what can you do besides practicing in order to "feel" all the strentghs and weaknesses of any hero, and keep an eye on pro scene.
