I'm sure this has to have been suggested at some point but I would really love the ability to repick my race.

I typically wait until one of the last people to pick my race because I try to pick one that the builders as a group actually need.  Ton of non-golders?  Get Goblin.  Everyone has a baser?  Get demon or nature.  Far too many golders?  Bam, non-gold baser.

The problem is, other people simply take for-effing-ever to pick.  Many times I'll snatch demon, only to have 2 people pick it after me.  Or any other number of similar circumstances.

Under -AR we obviously would not want this as that kind of defeats the whole purpose, but as far as standard mode is concerned, why not?

I guess this'll end up like the 'check range' command thread where everybody agrees about it being nice but darox doesn't give a shit.

Let me start off by saying this isn't a bad idea but it's also a hard one to implement fairly, let me first start by replying to the author.

I typically wait until one of the last people to pick my race because I try to pick one that the builders as a group actually need.
Pick when the titan spawn is @ 11 Seconds.  Chances are you'll be last

The problem is, other people simply take for-effing-ever to pick.

What realm do you play on?  90% of the builders always pick in the first 10 seconds.


I think the only real value is if you Random someone that you don't like.  What's the advantage of randoming?  +100 hp (10% chance) and + 40 Lumber.  So random and you want to repick there has to be a disadvantage right?

What's that going to be?  Start with 10 Lumber?  For most players that is going to = gg


I guess this'll end up like the 'check range' command thread where everybody agrees about it being nice but darox doesn't give a shit.

It would be much easier for the editor if when you make a suggestion make it complete.  Other than I want -repick and everyone saying yeah me 2!

First of all i belive Demo sucks and Darox doesn't give a shit course he's Shit.

Second of all Repick Could change the game soo that the builder will win more often... But since Darox IMBA ROTT is coming -repick should be Considerable!
But i make the The nerfing part easy for Darox and thoose who repicks get their wood lowered to 10 wood even if they random.

Soo that how simpel that was!

What realm do you play on?  90% of the builders always pick in the first 10 seconds.

East mainly, west on slow days.

Really though all of this is beside the point.  There's other factors in there as well, as in everyone isn't going to wait till last.  I'm not the only person who is going to repick.  Whoever picked first may end up having two people pick the same race right after them.  There has to be a first and a last, no matter what.

There is also the occassional missclicks, which I don't understand how people manage to do it, but whatever, they could use the -repick option in those instances.

I think the only real value is if you Random someone that you don't like.  What's the advantage of randoming?  +100 hp (10% chance) and + 40 Lumber.  So random and you want to repick there has to be a disadvantage right?

What's that going to be?  Start with 10 Lumber?  For most players that is going to = gg

I don't think there is any value to -repick in -ar, as stated in my original post.  The point of -ar is to random and take your chances.  Add repic, and there really is no such thing as random.

It would be much easier for the editor if when you make a suggestion make it complete.  Other than I want -repick and everyone saying yeah me 2!

Pointless Darox flames aside (you people really need to stop spamming this shit all over the forum), other than me putting in the coding myself, how much more "Complete" can a suggestion such as this be? Tongue

The funny thing about this suggestion is, it would propably only take 3 minuts at max for Darox to make it.

Remove the builder and give another piece of gold so you can buy a new builder. Done.

This is really pointless, it wouldn't affect most people, because all people care about is who they think they are good at. Also if you random and don't like your builder or aren't good as this one, Then don't random.

@wall: this is a complete idea there's nothing else to say other than I think there should be a repick for builders so you can repick.

AKA You don't have a clue how.  Don't Bark it would take 3 minutes max if you don't have a clue what you're doing. 

Widgetizing takes longer than 3 minutes.

i'll buy satyr and repick lalalalalala no more satyr...

serious speaking, the majority pick as soon as the cd is over, and you don really have to wait for the take-for-ever-to-pick-builder player since the other 8 shall give you pretty good idea which builder to go for.

The "take-for-ever-to-pick-builder" is usually a newb who's trying to read the essay of a tooltip and then he either picks it or goes on to the next one and gets booted.

The fact there are sometime misclicks and various other issues makes you seem quite ignorant of the point at hand, radon.

Being able to repick a random in Island Defense is just retarded. DotA is an exception, however, due to many heros, and it's low depth.

While it wouldn't be a bad addition, it isn't really a necessary one.  I never hear pubbers complaining of picking the wrong race anymore.  Maybe they getting smarter?

Why fail?
And I can't write the function myself since I don't know how Darox triggered certain things. How does he check if you have picked a builder so you don't get kicked? And I guess there are 1-2 other things like this too.
Also I don't do it because darox wouldn't implent it anyway.
