So I've dedicated myself to getting out of ****-tier MMR. It's painful because it feels like everyone I play with and against are idiots. Captain's Mode is generally an exception, which brings me to this match: http://www.dotabuff.com/matches/879924846

So I managed to snag captain and want an overview of how we did. I was really worried about the draft, as it was the first Ranked Captains game I'd drafted for, and it's not really like the drafting exercises I so love to do. Couple things to note:

-Skywrath, despite carrying us hard, was actually drafted as a support.Go figure.

-I've come to the conclusion that if a team first-picks Void and Witch Doctor it's really easy to counterpick, hence the Silencer and Naga. If we can't teamfight, then Naga can just rat. It was a Silencer mid carry, because he is NOT A SUPPORT.

-It was my first game as Tidehunter.

I hope I did alright - it's only in retrospect that I realise I went full no-stun doto which I'm really surprised about. Still, did the draft have any merit at all?
There are two kinds of people in the world; those who can count, and those who can't.

Well the other team got out drafted.

They had very little push let alone counter push while you guys had a radiance naga.

Their brewmaster got shut down hard. His gear progression would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Love the Heart on Skywrath. Just shows how over farmed he got as a support.

So not that bad of a draft. You were able to counter their whole draft with Silencer and they didn't even bother trying to get a core that could go for straight right click damage afterwards.

Also, silencer can be support or core depending on situation.

You really screwed over their void pick well. And since he was their carry they were pretty ****ed.

The only thing is that the interaction between song of siren and global silence is a bit weird and hard to pull off without communication, but he is good in pubs and against brew, so it is fine.
