Dota 2 Ability Draft Guide for Beginners and Intermediate ADers

Ability Draft is a great way to spice up your Dota 2 experience, but the huge complexity of the drafting phase can be intimidating, which is where this AD guide comes in. I will show you how to evaluate hero models and choose roles, how to spot strong abilities, and which abilities are currently the strongest, which are over- and underrated, and what are some of the most broken combos in AD. I'm now streaming here on YouTube, so you can watch me play DotA and get your replays analysed on Wednesday at 7 PM CE(S)T and Friday at 8 PM CE(S)T. On Sunday at 4 PM CE(S)T I stream other games, such as AoE4. In addition to these regular streams, I also sometimes stream at irregular times.
