Draft Pick #2

[holepercent]

<-removed from the pool..

instead of removing stuff from the common pool, for this, you add stuff into your own pool. chance to see all towers get some use and perhaps some interesting combinations..

duals and triples would be drafted separately. each drafter picks 5 duals and 7 triples. you can only build the towers you drafted. you cannot build a triple unless you draft at least one of the duals that upgrade to that triple.

for 2 players, no repeats would be allowed

for 3/4/5 players, 2 sets would be drafted. all 15 duals/20 triples must be taken before the 2nd set commences.

for 6/7/8 players, 3 sets would be drafted. all 15 duals/20 triples must be taken before the next set commences.

no element draft is needed as the towers already determine the elements.

updated. discuss away!

to consider: does everyone end up 6-ele with a limited tower selection?

That seems to be a problem!

[holepercent]

the regular forum draft could easily end up 6-ele too.. only the drafters agreed to stay away from 6-ele (and periodic being removed from the pool by draft host in the middle of the first draft and added into the rules after that.)

in this case, even 6 ele you'll still need to draft a 'semi-balanced' set of towers or better. like you'll need cover for weakness, support towers, splash and ST balance and stuff..

draftpick

duals: flame, blacksmith, hydro, mushroom, magic

triples: zealot, muck, voodoo, quaker, roots, golem, flamethrower

everyone is REALLY impulsive! 3 players (so far) with ideal first pick as impulse in DP #2.. and the tower is almost always voted out as first removal in the original FDS.

I propose;

Dual:

1-3 players = no repeat, 4-6 players = 1 repeat, 7-8 players = 2 repeat

Triple:

1-2 players = no repeat, 3-5 players = 1 repeat, 6-8 players = 2 repeat

Other then that, looks good!
