- Two drafters, two accounts
- Tick Ranked on the Draft Tool and open an online room. Each captain signs in and takes their team's seat, and only that account can draft for it.
- Drafted blind
- Ranked drafts run on a turn timer with no undo, and Pro's counter picks and live win probability stay off until the tenth hero is in.
- Scored by the draft model
- When the last pick locks in, the model weighs both drafts: Mythic+ win rates, counters, synergy, lanes and damage. The side it favours wins; 50–50 is a draw.
- Elo, from 1000
- Beating a stronger drafter earns more than beating a weaker one. Every game of a series is scored, up to 5 rated drafts a day between the same two drafters.
