Let’s see how.
But some of the general changes tend to have a higher impact on the game.
Now, 7 will be taken out before a single hero is picked.
In no recent patch has a team had two bans in a row.
Many players have said in interviews that planning the first phase against an opponent often takes hours of preparation.
They probably run simulations for various scenarios to see how a draft might progress.
The benefit of two continuous picks was no hero could get banned or block picked.
But that strategy will take a massive hit post Dota 2 patch 7.34.
Oh, you picked a Leshrac in the first phase?
Didnt need to ban Io in the first phase, but we will in the second one!
But alternately, this can also bolster picks that can be countered right away.
Now, no team can do that!
Thefirst pickteams gets two continuous bans, followed by thesecond pickteam having a ban and a pick.
So thesecond pickteam can hold their cards really close to their chest.
Previously, that number was 4.
It will be exciting to see how drafting unfolds under this new system.
