searching for a cool hero selection system

I need a cool hss for my Masters of WarCraft (AoS) map

there are all heroes controlled by light (18+1 random hero) in one area of the map, and same for darkness in another area
If a unit is selected you can see a short description of it overhead
If you type "arrow down" your currently selected hero is moved to the starting area of your fraction
If yout type "arrow up" you can see the other fractions heroes (if allpick is enabled)

this is ther hss I'm currently using...but I don't like it

So I ask, if anyone knows a 'cooler' hss (must support allpick, allrandom and repick commands)

If someone likes my idea have fun

Not yet, but I believe Hans is planning on making one.

At the very least you could write your own, too.

I've tried to write a very primitive one (see above) and it took me over 1 month till I got it working...so writing my own no good idea

I meant you could write your own Hero Select addon to Hans' library.

And I ment that I've not enough experience in coding to do that (I don'T even uderstand hans's system; too complex)

I'm now trying vex system

EDIT:
works quite well (som minor issues causing trouble)

Yeah, I started working on a Heroselectionsystem, using my InGameDialogs (which i rewrote thereby)
Early WIP screenshot is attached. First it will have some buttons in the center like "All Random", etc (either vote for all or just for host). Then there will be a "tavern" on each side and a preview of the hero in the center.*
However it won't be done before in a week or so. Im on festival and stuff

*Maybe there will be other "flavours" with other designs

no stress, I'm now using vex's system, it seems to be pretty cool, but your dialogs are way cooler

suggestions for your hss (containing mode-compatibility):
allpick (easy), allrandom (easy), reverse (medium), repick (dunno how to make it [with vex's system]) and standard: random

(all modes stolen from dota)
