The whole Diretide mode seems to be incredibly poorly designed from an incentives points of view - it leads to people trying to ignore the actual intended gameplay in order to play some tedious pseudo-coop mode, while whining about anyone that actually tries to fight. Seems like it would be a lot more fun if there was no big Rosh fight at all. This too. Every Diretide game someone is yelling at us to exploit the system and do some convoluted thing to get him super fed for 30min so we can do Roshan for another 30min boringly. And if we don't listen he just curses at us and then pretty much afk's and doesn't try it normally at all.
Servers sucked horribly last night, spent 30 minutes trying to find my first diretide game, amidst tons of 9/10s and disconnections, only to get one of these "come we beat iG" games. Needless to say, we all lost at level 6 rosh. What a huge waste of time.

New patch includes:
When you start Sugar Rush (Phase 2): - All heroes are upgraded to level 25. - Your gold now counts up at 1000/sec. - Pudge's Flesh Heap is reset to 1. - The timer to fight Roshan doesn't start until he either takes damage or 5 minutes have elapsed.
Hopefully this makes people actually play the first part properly since there's no longer a need to farm for the second part.

Now they just need to wipe the high scores and I'd be 100% fine with how they handled it.
Why keep a highscore up when there's 0 possible ways to beat it seeing as they used exploits no longer available and can't be duplicated.

Diretide is pretty tough, I get the idea that it's supposed to be a fun game mode but when your team is getting stomped hard (like a 40+ candy difference), it's just sad.
Also, I queued up for a 5 man stack last night (uh about 12 hours ago) with people in the TL channel and suddenly my connection to steam died. I'm sorry that happened.

I think old Diretide also had several cycles, I expect this one to end soon.

Everyone on my USeast english team just screeches in chinese and feeds.

holy fucking shit

The one time I get a team that actually understands that necrolyte is not a support, the enemy pudge abandons after giving firstblood to our mid sniper.
....this hero is freaking cursed...

*sigh* losing because the other team refuses to stay paused for more than 10 seconds for a dc'd teammate. they need to allow an extra report when someone gets an abandon, so people can put it where it belongs, on the unpausing cheats.

You can pause for 30 seconds per pause if someone DCs?

i was exaggerating the 10 seconds, but they unpaused asap everytime and we lost a team fight because he dc'd right after it began which is fine, but then they decided to push t3 even though they were behind a bit but we were missing our main teamfight barely hold them off t3, then they decide to all go rosh, and we know we can't win 4v5 so we have to give up rosh, they let him get an abandon, and we lose the game because their PA went from 2-8-3 to 9-9-3 in 3 minutes, and has aegis. i dunno it leaves a bitter taste in your mouth to be winning so handily and have it turn around because they refuse to pause for a crashed player.

Did anyone else suffer a matchmaking rating drop after the new patch or did I just get a few bad games?
as in a Gyro that built Maelstorm, Axe that had Vanguard 40 minutes into the game and Batrider that also went Vanguard

I just got into a four stack of Russians who think that working coop in the first part of Diretide is still what you are supposed to do. So we have 0 candies at the end of part one. So roshan fight starts and they elect to battle the other team. They aren't doing the battlefury thing they are just attacking the other team.

Do well in the early game, get behind in the mid-game.
I'm fearing a losing streak is incoming

probably just bad luck but i had similiar experiences. i was furion and my team was sitting behind our t2 the whole game while the other team had naix,gyro and qop. they farmed all the lanes while my team was afk but of course it was my fault that i couldnt push any towers -.-

My big QQ on the diretide games is the bots. I tried playing a few rounds last night only to get a series of bots on my teams. Playing 3v5 entire games is not very fun, since the bots are completely worthless. They kinda mill around fountain for a bit then go to lane and tank creep waves to death (while never spending any gold). I wish there was a way to report them.

Today I got matched with 4 special players. I say special because they oozed fail from every pore. It started with 2 of them complaining about lag. Spectre and Weaver lagging from start to finish yay, citing "lag" whenever they died. Silencer thinking that with an OD mid surely there would be space for a 4th carry, I mean that's, like, what all the pros do right? Bristleback can support, I mean, he doesn't need silly things like items. >_>

Gotta love going beyond godlike every fucking game and then lose because some fucktard on my team feeds the enemy carry 11 kills.
