Are we talking QM , Unraked or Team League ? For QM just go with what you like to play . Find your own synergies and hope for a nice dice roll . For Draft you will have to pick according to the map you play and your enemy ' s picks . You should AT LEAST have a pool of 4 heroes per spec . Your tank player may want to look into ETC and Johanna . Melee DPS should try bruisers Sonya , Zarya , Anub ' arak and Thrall to further strengthen the frontline . Malf and BW are quite contested picks and often even ban targets . Learn Auriel and Uther which both work with your current hero pool . One of you may as well become a flexplayer , picking up some semisupports like Tyrande , Tassadar , Kharazim and Medivh . Those heroes are enablers for other roles . Tyrande can help to lock down and blow up a target . Tassadar works wonders with AA heroes and counters stealthies . Kharazim does huge burst with his new flavor of the month specc with Iron Fist , while still putting out some clutch heals . And Medivh is about as good as a hero can be , when your team is coordinated . As a group you guys can play a global tactic Falstad , BW , Dehaka where you collapse on a split enemy , stun composition to blow someone up may want to look into Varian , AA focus or just a strong sustain that can bind the enemy in neverending 4 v 5 teamfights , while someone split pushes a lane . The more versatile your Hero Roster , the more options you will have . Don ' t try to find the one team that can solve any problem . Cause even though there is a meta , most things can still be countered in a group draft . Maybe watch some Pro plays . Most casters will inform you on why a team picked hero X in situation Y .
