Definitely recommend a phantom lancer and naga siren with diffusal blades. Your illusions will sap so much mana from roshan that he will reach a point where he can't use his spells. This'll allow Ursa's fury swipes to stack to the high heavens, and PA to crit like whoa, without any interruptions. Also some damage amplification since the dude has like 80 armor.
 
It's a Turminator 2 homage.

I'm out of heroes to pick and I need to chose an offlaner as I don't have any in my usual picks.

Can someone summarize me which ones are good solo offlaners?
Common offlaners I recall seeing picked in competitive games atm: Windrunner, Dark Seer, Beastmaster, Bounty Hunter, Enigma. Others used situationally include Furion, QoP, Lone Druid, Clinkz, Clockwerk, Tidehunter, PoTM, Brood, Weaver, Puck, Bat.

Invis and heroes with escapes are one thing, but others have to rely on starting with boots, eating trees/cutting them down to get in range for exp, leading an entire wave to their tower (like with Sylla).. or any combination of the above lol
 
Sheesh. Five of us played Diretide 3 times, same guy got a mythical courier in each of the last 2 games. Tickled Tegu and Fearless Badger. Me jelly.

Pro Diretide strats: Sylla's bear attacks the bucket, AM blink daggers in and grabs the candy, then blinks out and uses tp boots to friendly bucket. GGs
 
I got roshan glitched, he wouldn't leave the Dire Fountain for a good 4 minutes. We fixed it by leading him back to his defalut fight spot.
 
I'm not going to waste my time with this mode, but I would like to see this Roshan death animation everyone is talking about. Any vids? Anybody want to make one?
 
I got a greevil egg. what do you do with it?

Apparently you need to put essence into it. I put in one and there are two open slots. Though someone said you need more essence than that to hatch the egg so I'm not sure...

This mode is better than the base game. They need to remove vanilla Dota 2 and replace it with this all year. :)
 
It looks like if you play enough during the halloween event, you will get more items in that short time span than you would with normal drops playing throughout the whole damn year.
 
Diretide is a nice change of pace from standard dota, and the absurd item drops are a nice bonus, but I really wish the game mode wasn't all pick. Would love to see some Diretide random draft.

Regardless hope there is an option to play it in customs once the event is over.
 
Gotta love all those item drops. Hell, even if you lose, you get something, and games seems to last about 30 mins or so, so the turn over rate for items is very quick compared to a normal game.

I love the new mode. Gotta have dat candy.
 
Played 4 matches. Lost 4 matches. I really wish I could play with decent people.

Yeah, played 3 and lost 2... We actually had two people trying to push towers in my last game. They attacked the top tower for a good couple of minutes before realizing they weren't doing anything to it.

Hopefully more people understand how to play darktide by tomorrow.
