[QUOTE=HellSoldier;38258621]This is probably the most fun I've ever had in DotA 2. I am [I]really[/I] going to miss this mode when it's gone.[/QUOTE] Hopefully we'll be able to play it as UMS map

See, I'm hating the new game mode. I could care less about the second item you get when you get the most candy. I'll grind multiple games a day if I honestly care about items that much. What I hate is that you need to farm up and get money and levels in order to take on Roshan without it being a total grindfest of surviving a minute so you can use TP boot back for 20 minutes. No one wants to work as a team because everyone just wants to get the most candy, get the item, get fed. They play it like normal Dota with a stupid gimmick for items. You need to work together as 10 people from the get go in order to get EVERYONE farmed. If not everyone is farmed, then Roshan is going to suck. But no, no one wants to work as Radiant AND Dire, they just want the stupid candy for the stupid item.

of course the guy who says mythicals drop drops a mythical... fuck off [editline]31st October 2012[/editline] and now someone in the same game dropped a mythical courier lmao

[QUOTE=LtKyle2;38256150]You don't get battlepoints in low priority matches[/QUOTE] When you're not in Low Priority then you can farm battlepoints in bot matches, so there has to be some risk for them. Not only that, but when you abandon a bot match you're wasting everyone's time. If there wasn't an abandonment system for bot matches then people would just grief the hell out of them.

I really enjoyed the Roshan gamemode :v:

This is fun as it includes both ways. Making agreements "no kills, just rush candy and items, all pick hard carries" is the same as going to achievement servers in TF2. Where's the fun ? [editline]31st October 2012[/editline] For example the hall of fame, I can tell you they've stacked it. They have - armor from SF and Slar, carries are PA, PL, Alch, magnus for Empower on team with carries likely, Tinker for permahex, Wisp to boost as of one of the carries, Vengeful for aura, CK due to his insane 100% damage illusions. So what ? It's bloody obvious and I for one don't give a rats ass to be on the frontpage as an example of how to set up a game.

Baby roshy on first halloween crate :3

Allright, couple questions : Does necrolyte aura work on Rosh ? Does AA's shatter work on rosh ? As if he's hit by it on low HP will he die right away ? Do DP's ghosts target rosh only or do they swarm invulnerable enemies as well ? Can Rosh be frozen by Chronosphere ? or Doomed ? Does Lifestealer's Feast work on him ? Or Lifebreak ?

Well, both games of Dire Tide I played ended with us losing both the Candy and Roshan rounds, the second game going 0:103 in candy count. Still, I got a cool beard and a neat blade, so I can't complain. Loving the new gamemode anyway. [t]http://puu.sh/1kQeg[/t] [sup]ahh, light and fluffy.[/sup]

The only thing I wish was that some heroes would have at least something to do in the gamemode. I rolled WD for example. Stun is fine for some attacks at enemy casket, but other than that, you can at best maledict/ult teamfights, but those happen rarely as most of the time people do drive-bys as AM, tinker or Tequoia. Ultimate doesn't work on rosh, heal doesn't really matter, maledict affects enemy players at best. It's not that I am complaining, but I wish they had a bit more to do.

Do people have trouble killing rosh? I just play as omni and take all the aggro/damage and I barely take anything, most of his spells are just *OBVIOUS WARNING TO MOVE THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY*

Playing one of those gamemodes. MY TEAMMATES AREN'T EVEN DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE CANDY, THEY ARE JUST IN MID ALL THE TIME

[QUOTE=Confuzzed Otto;38261569]Playing one of those gamemodes. MY TEAMMATES AREN'T EVEN DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE CANDY, THEY ARE JUST IN MID ALL THE TIME[/QUOTE] only way to win is to unlearn everything about Dota.

Haha, my first Diretide match. First, the candy-hunt was easily to our favor. Then when we got to kill Roshan, I got the last hit from it as Gondar with fucking Shuriken! [editline]31st October 2012[/editline] Or is the reward from killing Roshan even given to the last-hitter? I got the item anyway.

Does last hitting it matter?

Yeah I was wondering about that actually. I don't know.

[QUOTE=SnakeSolid;38260135]Or you could just buy 2 Divine Rapiers from the 15k gold + all of the free candy gold to kill Roshan.[/QUOTE] Rapiers are useless against Roshan. Sure, you still do the added damage, but it's smarter to buy a Sheepstick and another core item suggested for your hero.

[QUOTE=Unisath;38261983]Rapiers are useless against Roshan. Sure, you still do the added damage, but it's smarter to buy a Sheepstick and another core item suggested for your hero.[/QUOTE] Tinker makes more than 1 sheepstick on map a waste against Rosh.

Skeleton king with BKB, Refresher, and the rest into divine rapiers. Suddenly roshan can kill you all he wants, you'll just come back or BKB through his nuke

[QUOTE=Tokagero;38262006]Tinker makes more than 1 sheepstick on map a waste against Rosh.[/QUOTE] That's assuming that you have a Tinker. You're completely correct, though. I think my best match thus far was Undying with Sheepstick/Heart/AC/Scepter. Omni with Sheepstick/Heart/Radiance was nice, too :v:

It's insane. 7 games straight and everyone refuses to text or voice chat.

So, last-hitting Roshan will give you the item shown (same as in candy phase), but everyone will get an item regardless of anything.

[QUOTE=Gekkosan;38262692]So, last-hitting Roshan will give you the item shown (same as in candy phase), but everyone will get an item regardless of anything.[/QUOTE] 1st phase (pre roshan killing) = Every team member of the team with more candy gets item game shows him at start (everyone gets different one) 2nd phase (rosh massacre) = Everybody gets an item (individual, again) as soon as Roshan dies.

So, turns out that if you random and then repick, you start with 1,000 gold in Diretide.

Meepo gets multiplied xp and gold (for every clone) for candy captures.

Dirge's tombstones in the end Rosh fight managed to crash a Riki. Fucking amazing.

wow what a cool item i really want it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [img]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/577845243033570908/CC39D3AC8007656BAACD2D0ABA8272D8CDDF657F/[/img]
