obviously AR have gold gold at start
and more challenging
AR teach me to master all hero
and AR make me a GODLIKE FURION

if you used to play AR games ....
u'll learn to master nearly all heroes ..... give or take a few maybe u'll find it hard to master

and when u know how to use all heroes ..... if u play AP games ..... u find it sien and duno which hero to choose .... and end up u just type -random

WCG games they use AP because it's a competition between a team game ...... AR = RANDOM hero .... but AP lets each team choose their own COMBINATIoN of heroes which is their team/clan's Strongest Party to counter the opposite party.

ar actually is good for random game or public game.. training huh..
sometime we lose, we can still blame on hero.. >.<
ap more suits for teamplay or specific hero train (invoker??) >.<

now i prefer pick than random.
mostly see what heroes have been picked, then choose to support or kill lo...

i play -ar because sometimes i never think or feel like taking any hero. so just random lo.

I guess -sd is a good compromise...excitement of AR but not as random.

imho, AP is how the pro played...I mean, have u heard of an AR league?
no right?

AP ppl can play the hero they're most skilled at playing.
dats y more challenging

AR ppl like bcoz some noobs rely on luck 2 win,
like 1 time, my team got 4 int + 1 agi, they all str hero
repick still got int...
AR can be so imbalance sumtimes

AR is the best!

i think ap is the best mode for dota newbie to practice their skill

why i hate AP?

pretty much most of the AP match i played will hav
-void
-troll
-luna
seriously.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!
all those peoples like to play these 3 heroes (ESPECIALLY LUNA!)
and always ended up as a boring game because of him ==

TS,

sometimes , not everytime people like AP .. when i play AP .. sometime i pick kotl too.. at last i also can kill?

to me, when i feel using some heroes like (eg . butcher / techies) i play ap lorh.. cause fun marhh..

if all keep play luna-razor-fv like ahbenchai said.. play dota for what? win only?

dota for fun not for win ok?

edit *

We got say competition for noobs only? competition why people -ap

reason 1 : planned strategy - hunting , farming

reason 2 : several heroes useless in competiton
reason 3 : competition always are friends in 1 team , so -ap is fair-er

like greatgreedyguts said , competition played in -ap because we're serious.. for money!

agreeed?

Wa... You say until kotl very hard to kill hero like that

I understand what you're trying to say and agree with most of it. But I still think the 'dota for fun not for win' got a bit problem.

True enough DotA is nothing more than just a game but how many times do you see dota players smiling after losing a dota game? There is, but very few.

Everytime play DotA I start to see the ugly side of my friends or other people. Scolding, cursing, fighting... Haiz....

What I'm trying to say is most people play DotA to win, in my opinion at least. Lose already let people LC, call you noob. You like meh?

Just my 2 ringgit

Added on June 23, 2008, 10:14 pmOne thing I really hate about players when they play -ap

Host type -ap mode, everybody pick, some 'pro' players duno wat hero to pick or just act pro, go and type -random.

Hero pop out already, type -swap, type "I duno how to use"...

-ap mode la !@#$% Just pick la

of course AR lo.

AP game sienz like shit.
and let me guess....

each n every AP game consist of the following:
Troll
Luna
zues
tiny
veno
viper
axe
yunero
etc gg-heroes

NOT SIEN MEH??????
u every game oso vs same freaking heroes...
of course play AR lo. more balance

Bro, how could you say -ar is balanced.

-ar = all random. Totally random. Sentinel 5 stunner, scourge got 5 heroes with little hp. How to call that balanced?

Now now.. Dun tell me if player pro then what hero also can win ya If anybody say that then no need debate already

ar for pro..
pro player all hero can use..
if newbie player play -ar sure become leaver

Ar because it prevents people from choosing the popular heroes used. If people play random then you get a variety of heroes that are not planned. You would get more fun out of a surprise combination of allies and enemies. I think it takes more skill to devise a killing and counter plan if you got random heroes.

I play AP when i want a sure win because i am confident in the heroes i normally use such as Balanar and Luna.

Hello, choose AP mode la... where u can play ur best hero against ur enemy best heroes...

I noe AP many choose luna, troll etc... U can choose the heroes to counter them la..

AR games are more interesting...AP will get bored cuz you will see omos the same heroes everytime

i choose ap

if i choose ar got leaver

ap can random also

ppl play ar coz want extra money if u play ap

then u type -random u get extra money like ar also

ppl also leave when AP
