Yeah, the ability to TP to the candy bucket makes diretide one huge camp-fest really. Which results in lower levels and less gold for the sugar-rush rosh kill too .

Kinda un-fun sometimes, but buddies can usually make it hilarious somehow.

Hello, I'm looking for people in the 'very high' bracket to pub it. I'm currently 7-7 and I realized that it won't be easy to get there by solo queueing, this game looks to be full of tetris players lol. I'm playing wc3 since it came out and started playing dota maybe 2 years after, (can't really remember the exact date), so I actually know this game pretty well even though i'm not merlini lol.

PM me if you're interested

Why did they ruin diretide by trying to "balance it". It's now just an evil 20+ minutes you go through to get some items. Lovely never playing this shit again

how as balancing it bad? That denying candy shit was fucking stupid and made that 25 minute game into a 35 minute game because everybody is underfed.

How did balancing diretide change the game? Its still the same awesome shit, just will less bull with you being able to kill Roshan before the 3rd Phase.

Does anyone know when the ESWC Dota 2 tournament starts? I can't find a schedule on the eswc website...

edit: schedule here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4UzLqaLfhK8aEFDaVBPYlpvT0k/view?pli=1&sle=true . I guess it's broadcasted tomorrow.

Seems everyone is playing diretide, the queue times for regular doto are insanely long, first game 2 people thought it was diretide and left, second game also had leavers, and now 7 minutes queue on USE ?

Because the bullshit stuff made it so people wanted to fight constantly. Now they just sit back and farm then win a teamfight into victory.

So if they just sit back and farm you raid the well and force fights I don't see how it's any different now if you know how to play it.

There isn't one. Unfortunately there is no ability to moderate channels right now. Best you can do is report + ignore them.

Alright, thanks ... hope they add that in the future - all these guys spamming trading shit in the TL channel really sucks.

I don't think that had to do with Valve fixing exploits. It's just people figuring out the optimal strategies rather than bumbling about.

Would a good possible strategy be to feed Pudge a bazillion kills? Couldn't you do something like feed the crap out of the Pudge team, and then just have the other team horde candy that they'll drop into their bucket near the end of the game to get a bunch of levels and money to catch up? So one team gets all the kills, the other team gets all the candy, and Pudge gets a bunch of extra strength.

I'm at school and have like 5 minutes of free time, or I'd try to do the math myself. Could this be good?

Yea that's possible. I was just pissed at the time so wasn't that rational.
