Abilities you can toggle off and on counts towards Fiery Soul, so you can toggle split shot and move almost faster than everyone.

Pretty sure spectre isn't in the mode.

Usually you'd expect people to pick their skills to be either fun combo or generally powerful mix, but I don't know how to handle it when I happen to get teammates like omniknight who first picks OD ult and then picks Dragon's Blood and Sprint, what is he trying to achieve? What's the fun in playing with as bad mix as possible? I could understand that someone picked his pre-planned skill but when you still have a decent amount of universally good options or even few that could be fun to combo with, you choose some of the least fun skills that actually do work against your initial plan.

I can understand some people like to play things like old naix style mass passives into lategame, but this is something absurd, it isn't fun to them, it isn't fun to us, it might be a bit fun for the opponents who prey on him. Sometimes you get shafted with an useless skill, but that's usually your last one, not every single one of them.

It's not a problem if people are having a bad game, but intentionally making it so to themselves - I just can't understand it.

Just tried my first one, was surprisingly fun (won it though, that could be one of the reasons )

Got Ursa and had no idea what to pick so I just derped it. Frost Arrow (expected it to be bugged so I would get a ranged slow, it was unfortunately not. Worked out fine though, they have no way to get away from you once you're close enough). Followed it up with Blur because I thought I would play this tanky annoying dude who jumps in and sticks to people like crazy. For this, I followed it up with Clocks Chain Ulti. Pretty nice to ulti in, freeze them down and dodge everything. Nothing outstanding left after that, so I got Banes life drain (way too mana heavy for Ursa, but got me some kills).

As for items, I went basilius (which was far from enough to sustain the life leech), phase boots, Hood of Defiance, Sange and Yasha, Linkens, Daedalus.

As for strong combos I saw in the game, an Axe got berserkers call and rocket barrage, that was insanely effective in the early midgame.
