Extra game mode for 1v1 games, or why not on other modes too?
Summary:
You pick two heroes in picking phase, and you are able to switch between one another during your round (whether first picks should be hidden or not is up to debate)
In game both of your heroes have 20 hp, but you may play only one of them at a time. The "Vacant" hero is invulnerable and unable to act, while your hero can be normally
There is a switch button (suggested: inventory hotkey) which allows you to change your hero to the other one you picked
-You are unable to switch your hero if you have taken damage from any source within last 3 seconds (blink cd)
When you switch, your vacant hero spawns on your active hero's position, and you active hero becomes inactive.
You cannot switch your hero if one of them is dead
Switching will not reset HP or CD of any skill
If one of you hero falls down while you still have one left, you have 3 seconds to reposition your last available hero anywhere on the map.
Pros:
Removes most of the matchup imbalance in 1v1 enviroment
Adds a whole lot more strategy for the picking phase
Cons:
Might be confusing for new players
Extra picking time isn't so exciting if the rounds are short
