Some Draft from me.

For Dota player read only.

It's been a while, i never join any Draft game since the tournament i make Meng, Pinky, and Anselm purposely come all the way to Cyberjaya and lose the tourney.

This week, Scuzzi (Henry) suggested me to play more often in Clan War Room as public having alots of leaver indeed.

So far, 3 days, we had score 6 winning out of 7 games. Well as for me, it's a very good starting as everyone improve daily. 

Darkphantom (Kiat), need to harass more, and items sequence need improve.
Lamorakst (WeiYun), his warding skills are few levels higher than me, *thumbs up*. 
Chrono (Roy), sometimes get emo. xD anyway, solo skills need to improve more.
Scuzzi (Henry), carry more TP and avoid keep farming, hero for you is too limited. Sandk and Tide only =.=!
MiracleArt (Andy), so far, haven't see you lane with other people. :D Try play more heroes like DP, Brm, Potm, Qop.
Ktz4ever| (Me), no idea where should i improve tho, need comment from you all. :D

Anyway, i will like to share some idea on my draft. I learnt one of the important keys to draft from GoatAss (Irwin), that is there are actually 2 ways of drafting. 1) Own style, 2) Counter style.

1) Own style.
Ban:
- Simply get the style you want (5 gank? 3 gank 2 carry?)
- Ban hero that threathen your style.

Pick:
- Ignoring what opponent pick, just pick what in your mind.
- Pick hot hero first (Cm, Sandk, Puck, Tide, Es...)

Pro:
- Fit to teammate style. And teammate fully understand what you want.

Cons:
- If your OWN style lose to their Style, it's hard to fight back in Losing Condition.

2) Counter style.
Ban:
- Ban the first 2 heroes you think are threathening you.
- From their angle, from the heroes they ban, study what they're going to take. Ban them.
- Avoid ban those hero that you want. :D

Pick:
- Pick hot hero first.
- The last 3 heroes use to counter whatever they pick.

Pro:
Effective and weakening their draft.

Cons:
Normally, counter style heroes are hard or rare pick, not all members know how to use them.

---------

I personally prefer using Own Style as teammate understand what i want. So far, i don't really like to put 2 supporters together in one lane, for example Lina + Lion, or Na + Tms. It's might be useful in that particular lane. However, my style are usually 3 gank 2 carry. So i will put like Sandk + Viper, Lion + Potm. So i will have attacker during late game. This concept work for me at least. :D

Anyway, i tried Axe with Fire build, together with Cm aura, is good in counter Lina + Lion. With Cm roaming all the while, without the Bite, Axe hardly Call.

Why?
- Cool down 10secs.
- Damage up to 525 (exclude magic resistance).
- Last for 25secs.
- Can fire 3 fella consequently avoid them to use dagger before war start.

Thank you for reading.
