might have to do blind character select before each match
there are a lot of uneven character matchups in DOTA obviously
even among the higher tiers

no way you could do this bet with random select

[/ QUOTE ]

Playing best of 11 matches will more then make up for this. Sure, there are a number of matchups which are highly unbalanced and only a few which are even, but skill difference can make up for even the worst matchups.

By the time you factor in creeping, item building, item countering, skill building, harass tactics, fight skill, etc. the hero matchup is usually a small part of determining outcome.

This has gotten better in recent versions, too, as more flexibility in items has been made possible, allowing more builds that can make up for the deficiencies that are being exploited in the bad matchup. Creative builds are the key to the worst matchups.

Here is my top ten heros for blind pick in no order:
bane (elemental), viper, enchant, sylla, veno, lucy, loa, nerub assasin, lion, rhasta.

Also, lol at some of the dota strat posts in this thread!

thoughts on the yeben?

also, the gro kj is pretty unnecessarily sizoring too often when mangon is occupied or when KOK is inevitable.

of course, rumor has it that tfv v4 will be updated to multistream all syasas

Because Doom+lvl death combo coupled with his huge str and sick farming capacity make him tough as [censored].
