I recently hit lvl 34. Is the ranked system kind of like league of legends where everyone calls what they prefer to play and there's a pick order? I'm a little bit hesitant to start playing ranked although I do have a good feel for this game already (not new to mobas) and have played over 1/2 the heroes to lvl 5-8 so I understand the strengths and weaknesses of most of them.

its draft pick like league, but everyone can see the champ u have selected before u lock in.
id recommend playing one to see for yourself. people arent any better in hero league than quick matches

not true man, people take league way more serious than quickmatch....
I win quickmatch pretty much every time i play it, but league some people are kicking my ass (namely Anubarak)

anyways i only started league few days ago, but I only have 3 wins out of 10 matches

I mean, everyone calls the heroes they wanna play but between the other team picking all the top tier heroes first and your teammates being idiots, you may get stuck playing chars you're not huge on.


I had falstad selected once, I was the last person to pick, the kid in front of me picked falstad and proceeded to go like 8-12 with him.
So, its hit or miss. I highly recommend getting a whole team and having some form of voice communication if you really wanna succeed with it.

highly suggest party of at least 2-3 so you can win many games at the start of your hero league experience rather than solo queue luck
If you lose many of your first few matches, you'll be doomed to a "low MMR placement" and will have to grind the ranks up much harder than if you won the first few
This is because if you win the majority of the first few games, you get a skill rank bonus (which can be up to 5x the regular rank points) so it makes a huge difference
