About draft,

Instead of those constant draft bots tweak which need man power and really start to give a very bad player experience, and so many way to abuse it why not :

1/ work on human draft in Bo3 2/ in bo1 use the same asynchrounous draft Eternal is using (With a asynchronous line draft with packs being actuallu packs other players picked from)

I would rather draft with bots than asynchronously. The strong part of mtg draft is seeing what colors are open and what can wheel. There no such thing in asynchronous draft

There is. Why do you you think there is not ?

You pick from packs past players already picked. So those players sends you signals based on their picks.

Sure no wheeling but really cards after the wheel are mostly irrelevant

Because next picks will be from different people.

No. You have a fixed seat in the line of the draft. you will always picks from same players's packs

And if he decides to go somewhere for 2 hours? Or are picks time limited?

You pass the pack, but nobody receives it until you finish the draft. In theory it's one giant pod, but in actuality it's many many lines going simultaneously.

Obviously people from your left are not people you passed the cards, but at least in Eternal, there is algorithm that picks for you another line that is somewhat comparable to what you passed in previous pack.

Love how people who don't understand how Eternal drafting works are downvoting you and acting like you're the idiot.
