The first time this happened, I thought I messed up my setting somewhere. Suddenly picking heroes were a whole lot different. As a low level player, both mode makes not much difference to me, but I do agree the AP mode kinda nifty in a sense you need to choose your heroes well and quick, but it takes forever to complete. The old one can sometimes mess up the draft especially playing with stunners and no carry.
They did patch halfway, last time is 60sec for each side to pick, but then they patch it to 30sec which is a lot better, but don forget, most of the people who pick 1st will be fast, if each person take less than 10sec to pick ,u just waste 1 min. After that, no pause, no need strategy talk, no need scare ppl last min all pick then all wan mid. I am not sure how the low level player feel, probably they lack the idea of counter hero, above 3k rank u will see all just wan counter and bully u, then trash talk u noob lol.

but in another pov, for ppl who wan fast game and instead of wasting time waiting for oppo to pick. its bad.
since pub is more for casual,why make it to ranked style? it would waste like at least 3 min just at picking stage
Y not waste that 3min, ask yourself this, how many time does you have to pause to wait ppl pick for old style, more or less i would say 1min wait ppl pick 1st, then 1 min pause to wait counter pick, then afk there like 10 to 20 sec thinking what to buy and when u move out, its left 5 to 10 sec be4 game start, where sometime i see no ppl contest rune, or not enuf time reach there. Unless you say that 1min of your life is very important i nothing to say la.
Btw, Joking aside, would you rather waste 30 - 40min of ur time, knowing that all their hero draft is better than you and hardly any chance to win (e.g all enemy is early pusher, and your team is all late game carry), or would you rather have 40min of balance game most of the time? Also don forget, around 10 match i usually get 2 or 3 game is 15min game 20-3 score, when the higher score team can win, but they just wan to drag for higher kda or get a divine for fun, then another 20min drag game. (honestly i sometime do that

, but rarely cos i just want to end their suffer faster).
Edit:
Forget to mention, If you continuously get counter picked and losing consecutively, That is where when u wan to ragequit dota so bad but you still come back to play cos you love dota.
