    How do you guys ban during the initial 15 seconds of ranked matchmaking? Do you consider what you wanna play? Ban meta heroes? Or just straight up look at opponent profile and ban their most successful heroes?

            Slark
            Omni
            Jugg
            Lifestealer
            Tinker
            AM
            Alchemist

            Get banned the most.

            Hatsune Miku

              Ban Antimage, if he didn't get banned pick AM

              Player 175043649

                am often gets banned because people too lazy to search for hero so they just click the first hero that comes up

                  i rarely bother banning, in ~4.5k party games you usually see 2-3 heroes nominated most of the time. But when I do I usually ban slark/invo or a potential counterpick to our lineup

                        heroes that retards are too stupid to find their counters
                        usually LC because noobs always find their way to feed LC by walking around solo,most of other heroes can somehow be countered

                              I always ban axe because everyone in my fucking bracket get raped at early game by those offlane axes

                              I3ambi

                                I search through all the players profiles and ban the character spammed by the opponents. I'm sure people spam more at low level, but it's highlarious when you ban that guy that only plays one hero from playing his hero. He ussually just feeds all game.

                                  I always ban slark....always. I hate having to deal with him late game

                                                        I once did this to my teammate who spam zeus all lose
                                                        He picked sniper, played shit but we won

                                                        Dire Wolf

                                                          I ban the counters to the hero I want to pick like if I'm going medusa I ban anti Mage, but my default ban is invoker just cus he's so fucking annoying even with nerfs.

                                                            Only noobs ban slark (this is coming unbiased from a slark picker, go ahead and check my profile). If you play in low 4k games, what gets banned? -- Slark, etc.

                                                            High 4k - 5k+: Riki, lifestealer, alchemist

                                                            Slark's winrate: 51%, 48% in 5K+

                                                            Lifestealer: 53% IN 5K+!!

                                                            Riki: 53% in 5K+!!

                                                            SLARK IS NOT A PROBLEM, YOU FOOLS!!! JUST COUNTER HIM AND PLAY LIKE SOMEONE WHO ISN'T BAD AT DOTA. JESUS.

                                                              Slark is hard for a lot of carries to deal with as you need a lot of lockdown that's why people hate him cus they won't pick the support to deal.

                                                              Yes naix should be banned almost every game

Sometimes Beastmaster. If I want to pick a jungler, I will ban BH. Most of the other times, I will ban Beastmaster.

                                                                      We just released an updated hero and facet statistics page featuring more data and advanced filters. Oh, and it supports Turbo!
