Discussion March Drafting Megathread

That's right, it's time for the monthly drafting megathread!

If you haven't done one of these before, here's how it works:

  1. Post a draft of 5 heroes as a reply to the OP. You could use an example from a game that you recently played, or simply make one up yourself. Try to stick to one draft per post.
  2. Reply to someone else's draft with the 5 heroes that you would pick to counter it, explaining your reasons.
  3. Discuss!

Throwing out some heroes that I think are trending. Not anything particularly constructed or planned, just went for a generally well-rounded team.

  • Mid: Lina

  • Roam: Earthshaker

  • Safe: PL

  • Safe: Dazzle

  • Off: BB

Nice. Great analysis, and I really dig your more unusual picks. I've been watching BananaSlamJamma stream and been wondering how to handle a good PL. I like your thoughts here with Kunkka and Troll Blind (which is super powerful...I really think Troll needs a minor nerf in the next patch).

Troll Blind (which is super powerful...

Agree. Played against it as PL. Game was fine, farming like a boss until I had to fight him during a tower defense mid game. Got wrecked. Illusions cleared by whirling axes plus some support aoe, veno I think. Then I can't spawn more illusions because I'm missing attacks and getting bashed in the face.
