I wish normal games had item drops as much as diretide :v:
[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;38335935]using orchid on roshan is the new strategy.[/QUOTE]
I was using it from the first day I played it.
I been playing clockwork and undying all the time in this mode, won like 90% of the time with a full strength / stun premade.
Also having trouble with wisp teleporting? Take bane.
I REALLY want the rest of the Slain Dragon set. In my opinion it is one of the best cosmetics in the game.

Grats, I got Babbe Roshan on my second unbox as well, almost got someone to sell me a second one for 3 diretide keys and 3 normal keys :v:

Sheepstick and orchid until they made him sheep back.
Orchid alone since then.
Funny how people forget the uses of -armor , magic amplification and orchid. Deso/medallion/Veil/Orchid/AC/Tp boots and you're the main reason team kills rosh quickly.
Just beat a game of Diretide and not only did I not get the items I Won, I can't join a new game. Bah.

Hi-five. It's a normal build for WR, so I used it without thinking much.
Now I go Orchid+Aghanim+Rapier+ Daedalus. 1500 damage every hit on max attack speed oh yeeaaah.

Also, deleting items isn't cool at all.
Delted about 6 commons and 1 uncommon with no results.
So far in terms of essences, 10 exort and 1 wex dropped for me. Dota 2 hates me.

I'll trade you Wex for Exorts. :3
I've gotten 8 Wex, 5 Quas and 2 Exort so far. :<
Take this to the trading thread guys, Jesus.

In other news, Enigma is actually quite useful in this mode.
[QUOTE=Captain Chalky;38343333]Might have been my 200 ping but I think Enigma is one of the most useless heroes to pick. Unless you're planning to do some post-10 minute jungling.[/QUOTE]
Enigma is as useful as Warlock.
Actually, hes less.

You're telling me a stun, extra units to help raid, an AOE damage, and an AOE disable are useless? A Black Hole is still very dangerous.
[QUOTE=Naught;38343503]shadow fiend :v:[/QUOTE]
Still not as bad as Enigma.
[QUOTE=ForgottenKane;38343509]You're telling me a stun, extra units to help raid, an AOE damage, and an AOE disable are useless? A Black Hole is still very dangerous.[/QUOTE]
The AoE disable has a long CD, and gets worse the more items the enemy has, and you get gold FAST in this mode. Plus, every team usually has 5 high-hp stunners.
The AoE damage is crap.
The extra units don't make the pumpkin drop candy, only heroes do.
The stun is good tho.

a channel aoe disable which can be broken by any sensible or usually picked heroes (centaur, windrunner, storm spirit, etc.)
aoe damage is useful for base defense/offense ill give it that
the units are alright
the stun is pretty good for single targets but I doubt you'll see much of it come into play in this mode
there are so many better heroes to pick

are you fucking serioes
i think aoe heavy guys are still useful
some focus on heroes that are good with raiding + escaping but imo if you wipe the opposite team it's better overall. which is why even if there's a huge lead, one wipe could change it all. heck, that's why whenever in lane i dont pick up candies and just focus on farming and lasthitting or trying to kill whoever im laning against because i get money and exp from the candies they put in their basket anyway (correct me if im wrong though) and running back to my own basket then back to lane is a huge waste of time imo
[QUOTE=Rarara;38343534]...gets worse the more items the enemy has...[/QUOTE]
I don't really agree with this. Not all that many heroes stack magic resist or high amounts of regen, and since Midnight Pulse [B]scales with max hp[/B], how does it get worse? It has pretty much as big impact on the HP bar at every point of the game.
Hell, its the most damaging spell in the game if you use it against a pudge with bazillion STR.
I hate life, when I needed essences, I didnt GET any essences, but now since I finished my eggs I've been getting essences every fucking game I play, this is pissing me the hell off, I want some damn items not essences

I was talking about black hole. It gets worse because people can get anti-magic items really quick, if they need to.
Midnight pulse is less useful because, people skip HP items on most heroes.
If you are axe you obviously get Vanguard, but on AM, Batrider, Kunkka, Night Stalker, Doom etc you just skip it, as you don't need it.
Its only good for defense, and even against super high-hp people chances are they wont stand in it (Unless you stun them in which case its useful)
Also, the most damaging spell in the game would be Maledict, because WD is da boss.

The damage is crap? It takes off 6% of all your HP per-second, that doesn't sound like crap to me. You stand there for too long and you're dead. A lot of people really underestimate Enigma's Midnight Pulse.

Are you serious or just joking I can't tell.
just lost a diretide 103-0 what a shitty team lol
That's why you should only play 5man premades.
[QUOTE=.PSID;38346469]That's why you should only play 5man premades.[/QUOTE]
I've solo Q'ed 75% of diretide with great GREAT results. I've also come to appreciate heroes I usually didnt play until now, feel more well rounded.
I had a game of Diretide where our Venomancer didn't buy any items (even after me and my friend told him repeatedly to do so) and where our Rubick thought he could solo, and we still won with a huge advantage. I then commenced operation candy steal (steal candy after the game ends, put in bucket, get more levels) where two enemies had the same idea. I got everyone on my team up to level 25 and was almost at Roshan in time to get last hit.
Fun times.
Also, I now have all the Warlock and Death Prophet Diretide crate items! For Warlock, I have 3 damn copies of his rare staff :V

You do know Black Hole goes through magic immunity right?
Played a match where 2 people left right at the start, so the other team decided to just farm candy and take down Rosh really fast. Ended up doing it in about 2-3 minutes I think, but roshan was glitched inside our fountain and eating candy for a while.
rosh got glitched when were swiping candy, so we just used rosh to dispense infinite candy into
bad fucking idea LOL
He had like 150 armor
I had a match where he just paced back and forth at the exact middle of the map begging for candy and slapping the air in anger, turned out to be a very relaxing match.
