Ability Draft is a game mode in Dota 2 that is a little more unique than others. The game randoms a hero to each player but all of them will have no abilities. A pool will be made of the 10 heroes’ abilities plus 2 more random heroes’ abilities. In the initial phase, the players will take turns choosing abilities and ultimates for their heroes. This game mode has a lot more random elements and it creates infinite possibilities for the game.

Ability Draft is definitely a chaotic mode that is entertaining due to its random nature and bizarre circumstances.
