Hero Selection Methods

Shuffle all hero profile cards (of appropriate complexity) and deal one randomly to each player.

This method of hero selection is best when you are short on time or when playing with new players.

Players pick a hero to play out of all available heroes (starting with the team showing on the Tie Breaker coin and alternating between teams).

Shuffle the hero profile cards and deal 3 randomly to each player. Players take turns to pick a hero to play out of those dealt to them (starting with any player on the team showing on the Tie Breaker coin and alternating between teams).

Shuffle the hero profile cards and randomly select a number of cards equal to the total number of players plus two. Players pick a hero to play out of selected heroes (starting with the team showing on the Tie Breaker coin and alternating between teams).

Select two of the most experienced players as Captains for each team. Using any of the above methods, select a hero for each player. The Captains then draft players for their team (one at a time, alternating between teams) until two teams are formed (starting with the captain of the team showing on the Tie Breaker coin). All Players play their pre-selected heroes.

Each team collectively chooses a hero to pick or ban (remove from selection).

The team showing on the Tie Breaker coin is “Team A”; the other team is “Team B”.

The recommended pick and ban order is below (the number of picks and bans is based on the player count).

This method is best suited for competitive players and tournament play.
