Some of you have interesting favorite heroes in DOTA, but I want to know your favorite rules you like to play games in. If you don't really have a favorite, just say which rules you tend to play with more often. It doesnt matter if its 5.84b or 6!

My favorite rules are usually -ar -sc -id for a real man's challenge. If I want a quick game then I often replace -id with -sm (short mode)!

Mirrormatch and allrandom. I love playing that in games with my friends lmao. It gets really stupid sometimes though, cuz sometimes everyone gets heroes they absolutely suck with or they just have never used them before and we all run around looking like idiots lmao.

The worst thing about -ap and zeus is if he gets Aganhim's and a Refresher Orb O_O;. He can use 450 mana to Wrath everyone then use another 225 to restore the cooldown, then 450 again to Wrath. Put him next to the fountain for a cheapass hero killer (assuming the game goes long).

I was a Zeus leaver once. I had 16-6, but I had to leave because my dad kicked me off. Then I find out later my friend stole my Aganhims and my Refresher Orb to use for Rylai. DAMN YOU!!!

All random isn't much better then All pick. I random in AP regardless but in all random it's usually about which team got the better heroes. I mean, like, all the heavy intelligence heroes like Zeus, Slayer, Maiden, Rhasta, Tinker, and/or Ogre Magi is pretty much going to be unbeatable unless they really suck.

Every hero has a weakness, even if its a poweful intellegence based hero.

Mirrormatch is when both teams use the same set of Heros against each other.

Ya, I only go AP to try my luck at a certain hero, to see if I like the or not, but AR and SC are fun together. The main deciding factor in AR is purely luck of the draw, usually which team gets good heros. I hate Repickin, waste of 500 gold usually getting a worse hero in the process.

So basically, if someone goes Clinkz, then an opposing member gets Clinkz?

Yep. I squared off against a Sand King in my lane once when I was Sand King. Rofl, we were scared to use our ults though, cuz we were like "Oh man, if I use ult, then he'll just use Burrowstrike and ult me back..." It was pretty much a rush to see who could get BKB first. o_x;
