What is the Ability Draft in Dota 2?

Ability Draft is a unique game mode in Dota 2 that provides a twist to the traditional modes. The mix-n-match game mode allows players to mix heroes with different abilities. The game mode plays on your understanding of the game with a hero pulling out an ability completely unrelated to its character and lore.

The draft phase of the game mode darts with players taking turns to select abilities from a shared pool. This shared pool includes all the abilities from the heroes chosen for the match. There are also a few extra abilities to ensure there are enough to go around.

After the draft, players enter the game with their hero and their chosen abilities. The game mode is a fun and unique experience for players who often have to keep track of opponents’ abilities. When you see a Warlock, one is used to expect a Golem drop or a Ravage from a Tidehunter. Imagine your surprise and glee when Tidehunter suddenly sprouts Rhasta Serpent Wards or uses a Visage Ultimate (Summon Familiars). Ability Draft offers a refreshing change of pace from Dota 2’s standard modes.
