DotA 2: Ability Draft - a quick guide

The game DotA 2 offers the mode "Ability Draft". Here you will find everything you need to know about the mode.

Game mode "Ability Draft" in DotA 2

From level 5 you can join the game mode "Ability Draft" in DotA 2.
In this mode, you and your teammates get a random champion. The champions' abilities are all thrown into one pool.
You can then choose which skills you want to use in combat.
You can also choose skills that do not actually belong to your champion.

In "Ability Draft" it is very important to choose a good combination of skills. So think carefully about which skills you choose and which ones go well with them. If you don't know what an ability brings, you can hover your mouse over it.
Also keep in mind that another player in front of you can choose a skill. Therefore, always have a plan B in case you cannot get a desired skill. You only have three seconds to choose a skill.
In the first round, choose your level 6 ability. Otherwise, your opponents will snatch away the best ultimate attacks.
Note that you can only win as a team. If you steal an important skill for a teammate for his combination, the defeat is almost certain.
Play some games to get a feel for strong combinations and to know which champion is good for which skills. "Ability Draft" can be very frustrating at first. However, once you get the hang of it, it's a very fun mode.
