CD and the removed heroes in General Discussion
Dune, the Desert Planet

    How come that heroes who are removed from CM can't be part of the CD hero pool? In dota 1 it wasn't like this. I remember getting Winter, Brood, TB, etc. in CD.

    I didn't play dota for some time, got back on it about 5 months ago or so... Was this changed in some version?

    I play CM/CD only and never ever have I gotten a hero that's removed from CM in CD. My mate did get Brood once in CD. IDK how.

      A side question... When were the ancients with evasion removed? You know.... 3 dragon lizard guys who you could raze down with SF? Now there are only 3 kinds of ancients.

      iaa

        The CD hero pool is like that because of the larger competitive scene over the years, IceFrog decides some reworks or heroes are not balanced and waits to put them in captain's mode so that they dont screw up the comp scene

          ... Did you even read the question? CM =/= CD. I know why heroes are removed from CM. I don't know why are they removed from CD. Since I clearly remember having heroes removed from CM in my CD games. In fact, as a general rule, there were always certain removed heroes in CD pool.

          iaa

            Sorry misread the question, would probably guess that CD is just a modified CM that they just didn't unban the heroes from, I don't really know
