Just blue can type -cm 1/ii

Added a 15 second await menstruation before the drafting begins in -CD to give both teams a chance to look at the heroes.

Switch at present only works equally long as the items of the leaver remain intact. Once someone leaves, the inventory of that hero becomes locked. Players can utilise an -unlock command, but one time that is done switch cannot be used on that hero anymore. Once this feature is used plenty to be considered stable, switch will be usable by default (-so mode won't be required) with the restrictions described above. The aureate that the leaver is conveying is also frozen until the hero is either unlocked or swapped.

Normal style tin can now pick from their team's heroes plus neutral heroes

Added a new experimental style Experimental Runes (-er)
- This temporary style changes the rune system to a more experimental one. I will be irresolute how -er works from version to version to endeavour out different ideas. I don't programme on any i version of the new runes to supplant the current arrangement directly, so do not panic. Well Instead, it volition be used equally something to create word, spark ideas, notice flaws and playtest different concepts over fourth dimension.

- You start by alternating ane/one/ane in the ban phase. Each captain removes upward to 4 heroes. Running out of time does not result in a random hero ban.
- Later that you enter the one/2/2/ pick stage. Each captain picks the heroeshis squad volition use.
- If at any time y'all run out of fourth dimension, you start to use upwards your extra time. If y'all run out and you are in pick phase, yous go a random hero.
- Creeps spawn 90 seconds after the selection draft phase is over. Right afterwards the hero pick phase ends, the five heroes for your team are presented with a checkmark on them (RD mode) assuasive players on your team to pick which one they desire to exist.
