The issue I have was that there was nothing to think about the draft because no one had banned or picked anything. These don’t 100% guarantee that the person is trolling but 1) Insta-picked Valeera so fast that it drew attention to their Battle.bet name (which involved hitting a gender), which 2) made me glance at their profile, which 3) being “generous” but clearly the person had been playing off meta heroes without much success. By then, we had around 20 seconds on our first ban and no one else was saying anything about the draft.

Don’t think it was right to call out Valeera for past matches, that would have been (even worse?) but I also said my reason: “we don’t know their comps yet”

Not trying to argue but is saying “no” always considered un-constructive? I’ve thought saying “do this” kinda has the same effect if you don’t state a possible reason why. Whether that reason is 100% pro strat, general knowledge, or even an opinion. I kinda feel, I was giving the latter.
