That is the expiration date of the Essence, so it's a reasonable assumption. iG strat: let PL camp the enemy's ancient, Tinker will tp back and forth to deposit candies. Too stonk. And looks like rosh is asking candies from every single individual meepo, lol. | ||

instead of depositing candies in the bucket, simply put them on a courier and fly them back to base. Couriers are still invulnerable in base so they cannot be stolen from you. Keep raiding opponent's candies. Since you do not have any in your thingy, they cannot steal them back. When there's about 5 seconds remaining everybody goes to the bucket and deposits all the candies from the couriers. Pls fix valve, game isn't even fun when people do this. also, repicking gets you 200 extra gold, but that's pretty minor | ||

By not depositing the candies in the bucket, they are not getting gold and exp from the candy, meaning that the other team will be stronger and win teamfights. Also, you can still get candies from jungle. | ||

You also get items at a much higher frequency than you would in a normal game, and at a better rarity. You get 1-2 items (depending on whether or not you win) in 25 minutes, and there is a very high frequency of rare and mythical items, at least compared to normal item drops. | ||

TL;DR: Each side's Ancient spawn is replaced with a candy bucket. Your goal is to have more candy than the other team. You can steal their candy by attacking their bucket and picking it up (it goes into your inventory). Roshlings also spawn instead of ranged minions and those drop candy too. If a hero is carrying candy and dies, they drop their candy. Carrying candy will lower your HP and increase your TP channeling time so it's not necessarily smart to carry a ton without dropping it off. After 10 minutes of free candy farm/raiding, Roshan is unleashed and goes trick or treating. You can see who he's chasing and he needs to be fed a candy by anyone to alleviate his appetite and change targets. He's invulnerable with true sight, so don't bother running, he will get his candy or your life. After another 10 minutes of that, it will declare a winner, then Rosh will go eat all his candy and get a sugar rush and you team up with the other team to take him down. Edit: Oh, and your team gets gold/levels from depositing candy. Edit Edit: 10 minutes to Rosh trick or treat, not 5 Edit Edit Edit: Forgot to mention, not only does the candy bucket have vision/true sight, but you can TP to it like it's a building. You can also TP to Rosh at the end (you have like a 5 sec respawn during Rosh beatdown) | ||
