Is that girl on the right with the blue supposed to be Chen? Because I think I wanna play Chen now GOTDAm
I think so, Deathprophet - Kunkka? Chen
Might be LOL Boken?
You need a real lineup and people who dont die to Roshan. Main thing is you need to stack the fuck out of minus armor, I've seen Rosh at like 60 or 80 armor.
All of the games I've played with Skywrath have gone to lvl 4 Rosh with absolutely no coordination/cooperation whatsoever while my none aghs skywrath games just went to lvl 2 at best. Just bought a bloodstone and a scythe at Rosh and relied on the auto refreshes. If I could get a team to work together, I'm pretty sure it'd deal some crazy damage. None of the replays I've seen with Skywrath have him go aghs + bs because you'd need a ton of charges to be able to drop reliably, but I think setup properly it could compete.
on that note, what items give the greatest amount of mana? I was thinking I'd go aghs, bstone, then maybe 4 skadis? Or would scythe be better? Could also partner up with OD to proc essence aura to victory.

You think that's bad idiots in trench attack the other team
Nope. No matter what, Roshan wins.
He's a dewarder!
And a carry on the side.
Seriously though, the hero isn't bad, but annoying in the lower brackets where people think invisibility = invincibility, failing to realize that it only takes one of a few items to spot him sneaking around your team. Then be goes against a team of people who all buy detection and doesn't expect it. To play Riki you have to learn to predict detection, or deal with it and fight with your team.
People are getting mad about people being bad at a goofy holiday game mode...

How long was that game? I already missed it..?
D:
The rich get richer
Hm. Do we get this the same way we got last years?
Both of these heroes are super fun. Kaolin actually surprised me at how fun he is, honestly wasn't expecting much from just reading his skills but Valve did such a good job with his animations/effects. I really like how all the spirits are kind of skill intensive/combo-ey, makes things a lot more satisfying when you actually pull off one of them without being interrupted.
Don't play it, I don't plan to play it either
It's fun when both sides work together to try and get the rosh record, but that's rare.

They should have done 3 games no matter what, kinda dumb to be done in 30 minutes
They gotta get ready for their lol broadcast tonight doe
Yea the Rosh killing is the most fun part. Its like taking on a giant MMO boss or something. Too bad everyone just builds E Blade Dagon with some players making Orchid/Veil for extra damage so the fight isn't interesting as it could be.
I hope they release that custom map toolset soon.

what's another 15 minutes for 7500$
Whilst playing Diretide I leveled up and got a rare CM staff and then the next game I randomly got Morcant. Never got back to back rares before. Felt good. I think I'm at my rare quota for the rest of 2013 now unfortunately. 
I'm really liking Diretide cause it's lightweight dumb fun, but I'm regretting that I'm not getting any Kaolin practice in actual games yet.
Speaking of Diretide has anybody noticed the blue essences being WAY more rare than the red and yellow? I have a huge pile of recipes and yellow but no red and blue at the moment and I only see 1-2 blues drop per game. It's really annoying.

No, have fun with the stack of Russians and losing 0 to 125 like me, cause that shit don't matter.

Gotta love getting reported for playing Diretide Competively. I wish they never said you could get rare items form defeating Roshan cause its turned Diretide into a bore where no one fights and everyone wants to stand around for twenty minutes.
Yeah, a lot of people don't understand it.
Remember that this refreshes EVERY TIME AN AFFECTED HERO GOES NEAR A STONE REMNANT! This means you can keep this up for a very long time, like an entire team fight! On top of that, all magnetized heroes share the silence from Boulder Smash with a remnant. If you play your cards right (and with a bit of luck), you can basically become a Venomancer and Silencer all in one with this ult.
I look forward to playing this hero in real games when I get back in town Monday. This was easily my second most hyped missing hero from Dota 1 (the first is Zet, the Arc Warden, I'm on a kick for micro heroes lately)
