a better idea: remove the randoming feature in ranked and just have the random button show you the bonus heros :)

Absolutely this.

An even better idea:
* Remove the bonus hero;
* Have a blacklist (random meepo 2 games in a row -_-);
* If i choose a filter (like support + disabler) the random hero would be from those highlighted;

What sort of bonus would you get for this random? An extra scroll? You eliminated 3/4s 4/5s of the hero pool.

We would get nothing as bonus. For me we would only be able to use random if we had at least one filter selected.
We would use the random when we had a general idea of what kind a hero we wanna play but not a specific hero in mind (e.g. support + disable)

No

Nah just getting rid of bonus heroes and removing randoming from ranked while putting back true randoming in unranked would literally fix all the issues people have with randoming

Yes

It goes back to Pudge and Riki being in 1 in every 2 games to them being in 1 in every 1 game. Atleast the current random gives a somewhat incentive to pick really underwhelming heroes by providing a bonus mango and faerie fire at the beginning. I know it is only a bonus faerie fire when randoming as opposed to picking a hero and my point refers to actually hitting the random button since someone actually picking the hero for being a bonus hero might is not committing on the random part 100% anyways.

thats too simple and logical

A suggested addon: after the Random button is clicked, show an animation similar to randoming a Hero Relic (with Dota+ Shards) where it bounces through the potential selections before it stops on what you get. Even if superficial, it reinforces what you're randoming against. The animation could be quicker, and/or it could be picked instantly but still show the animation client-side.

Make it have a rare/ultra rare label while your at it.
"come on riki!. what? lone druid? What did I do to deserve this?"

or it could be picked instantly but still show the animation client-side.
I'm ok with this. Insta pick but give only the person who actually clicked random some animation for the feels.. otherwise it just adds time to the draft phase when i already wanna get in the game and dotes!
Also add an option to disable. Not everyone's gonna want it.

Just remove it from ranked, or even all together

i dont see any downsides, awesome suggestion

The downside is that random still exists.

whats wrong with randoming? some people like it
1
some people like it
those people aren't the people who are teammates of the random.

I really miss having random give gold and from the whole hero list. was such good times. Volvo bring back random, even if its just in turbo
7
I miss old random system so much
6
How about bring back real random?
5
Or just bring back an option for old random (please)
4
ok thanks, now 7.20 will be delayed for one more additional month to implement this
3
Or crazy idea, fucking insane but it might work, make random random again!!
3
I got a better idea! Don't fucking random in ranked games you game ruining shit.
Oops, did that come out a bit strong? Good.
2
ALSO make it so you can't accidentally click the random button. Like, add a "Are you sure?" after you hit that button because it's game ruining if you do it by accident.
2
I was expecting this to be a shitpost with the random button removed. XD
1
Or the hero spin where it selects you a random hero but you need to select it your self so no random bonus
1
Bring back the real random and remove the bonus item shit
1
Make random great again! If I don't have a chance to random meepo every game it's not worth it!

Fkn ux guys coming in here making our shit easier to use and shit

I got a better idea: Bring back true random!
I just want actual random back in unranked. I don't even want bonus gold or anything. I miss being able to hit a button and have the game choose for me. I play a lot fewer heroes ever since they removed it.
Dude close your eyes and point a finger or your mouse
But you somewhat know which area your finger is pointing and and top middle and bottom sides are categorized by Str Agi and Int and it is not actually True Randoming.
I shouldprobably do a post of this on my own, but use this: https://github.com/robuhde/Dota2RandomizerSimple
program i made that does exactly that. no bonuses, just being able to random
But there's no true commitment with that. I could just roll again when i got a chen or hero that I hate.
It depends what setting you choose. I've set it up intentionally that way because spin to random hero used to be a thing as well (and I'd rather leave that to choice than force it). All you have to do is keep the default options and it will function exactly like the old random. It's essentially just like random vs spin to random hero.
I like using the default options, the pure random. But I know that not leaving those settings in there can be troublesome when heroes like meepo exist where it truly can just lose you a game. So letting people choose to be honest randomer vs selection is all I can do. It's a weird tradeoff I had to decide on when writing it.
So you want the old spin function?
It's the old everything. Right now it can either full random a hero or if the setting is changed from default, it will randomly select a hero (as if you type in their unique name which selects only them on the pick screen, then press enter) that hero's name will show up on the "lock in" button. It functions similar to spin to random hero but obviously cannot be spammed because its external (I'm working on a new version where this may be possible as it will use global hotkeys and thus won't have to bring focus to the dota window.
That's pretty cool, thanks.
Wait it was removed? What does this one do now then
It was removed when bonus heroes where introduced. Now randoming will only pick a random hero out of the 12 bonus heroes and give you an unsellable faerie fire as reward instead of 200 gold.

If I see Meepo in the pool or something like that I’m not pressing that button since there’s a much higher chance I’m stuck with it.
Also I’m not sure you get the one rerandom anymore which makes it more likely.
This. The burden of choice.
Least played (y)
even better: remove it completely and permanently ban ppl who want random back
Even better: delet richard
