DOTA Team Balance Skills/Random

Another important ingredient for a good game of DOTA - is even skills across both DOTA teams. Especially in 5 v 5 - or actually any game of DOTA.

Some of the game of the game commands are -SP shuffle player -OM only mid -AR all random -AP all pick -EM easy mode -SC super creeps

With the -SP shuffle player function is randomly puts players on both teams. Helps to split up the better players.

When the DOTA teams aren't fair, the speed and power with which the more talented team can win is scary. So not only if you have talented players on one team, with -AR all random, you might get the best hero's given to a certain team - this can also kill a game very quickly.

All random is best for 5 v 5 where all players and skill levels are even.

If you choose the super creep option, it gives you a chance to get more money and XP as you kill the beasts. But they can hit your lane pretty hard. Its best to team with hero's to kill the super creeps.

If you know of any other -XX commands or DOTA game modes, drop us a reply or post them in the DOTA TIPS forums.
