Reverse Captain Mode, Will DotA Get It?

Last Friday, the latest Dota 2 patch introduced a new mode which is really exciting, Reverse Captain Mode. If you ever watched a DotA tournament, you should be familiar with the Captain Mode (-cm) which each team chose a captain who can pick heroes for their team and also ban heroes. The Reverse Captain Mode is similar, but.. you choose for the opposite team!

Can you imagine how exciting the game will be? Bored with all those competitive heroes? With this mode, you will surely forced to play the most hero you hated. Imagine a line up like this for your team:

Stealth Assassin, Bone Clinks, Phantom Assassin, Pugna and Slark

No stun, very few nukes, squishy heroes, 4 heroes need the farm and one of them (Pugna) can prevent the other 4 from physically attacking the enemy heroes. Can you survive with this kind of team?

In short, this mode will force you to sabotage and the pick worst combination of your opponent heroes. Do you have more terrible combination in mind? Share it in the comment section!

And if you think this mode should be ported to Warcraft DotA, leave your comment here so maybe IceFrog will be kind enough to make it so :)

PS: This mode will be used for the ATOD2 Tournament where the Pro team like Na'vi and Fnatic must try their best to survive this mode. The tournament will be held on November 12th and 13th.
