While you can ban specific heroes from being used during matches, you unfortunately cannot force your team to pick specific heroes. However, you can set the priority of their picking. Below the hero ban tab, there is an option that will let you tweak your pick strategy by choosing either of five priorities:

  • Early – your team will pick champions that are strongly used for early phases in an effort to take a huge lead early on in the game.
  • Balanced – your team picks will be split into defensive and offensive champions.
  • Scaling – your team will pick attack-heavy champions which may compromise defense but will be able to outnumber enemies, especially useful in late phases.
  • Fights – your team will take a tank-heavy approach to win mid-game battles.
  • Auto – your players will automatically select their favorite champions, assuming they’re not banned.

If your pick strategy is Early, then it’s best to prioritize Farming in the early phases since this will help your team in harvesting resources that they will need to become stronger during the later phases. On the other hand, the Scaling pick strategy may be more compatible with early aggressive strategies such as Push Lanes, Gank and Invade.

Every team is undoubtedly different. With that, feel free to experiment with different strategies to find which one suits your team the most and will always bring your team to victory.

In order to develop your Esports team, you’re going to need plenty of money as well as Fame and Rivals Tokens – the game’s special currency. One way of earning these resources quickly is by doing daily and weekly challenges which are always posted on the Manage tab. 

Completing daily tasks will reward you with about 6000 cash or even a fair amount of Fame, depending on the difficulty of the challenge. After accomplishing three daily tasks, the game will reward you with 15 Rivals Tokens. Additionally, it will reward you even more after doing five more daily tasks.

Weekly tasks offer huge rewards like 50,000 cash so make sure you don’t forget to do weekly tasks. Moreover, completing three weekly tasks will reward you with 100 Rivals Tokens, which – combined with the money earned by accomplishing said tasks – is enough to buy a new and very skilled player to add to your roster.

The worst thing that you can do is to send off your team to a league game after completely draining their energy from training sessions prior to the match. Furthermore, some daily tasks require your team to play in 100% condition so don’t forget to give them some rest.
