Time travel is a hell of a drug
I'm impressed that you've managed to live your whole life without seeing Jurassic Park.

Yes, you retain buffs you had prior to activating Duel.
match id?

I edited my post and linked the video. No idea what the match id is.
Man, LC is so much fun to play as. Just played a round against a team who had NO IDEA about the hero. Fed me 10 kills by 20 minutes, I had around 140 extra attack from easy duel wins. Eventually went armlet + heart and was able to just keep the armlet on, heh.
My question is, why are people advocating hyperstone on her? As far as I understand the lifesteal only procs on a counter, which isn't dependent on your attack speed.

Allies provide a 10% bonus.

lol my brother unlocked the same Sven sword twice from his free gift thing
She gets damage naturally from duel, so attack speed items scale well with her.
I haven't played with her outside of Wraith-Night, but the optimal build for MomCo (granted, in a vacuum) seems to be phase boots, whatever survivability item you need, and more +damage.

I assume to build an assault cuirass and to take advantage of the damage advantage she'll have if she gets a lot of Duel ganks.
Armlet stays on. What gets muted are bashes, crits, lifesteal (except from your passive), cleave, mana burn and evasion. Attack modifiers like desolator still work.

Why wouldn't you want even more attackspeed to go with your damage? It's not about the passive procs. DPS is what counts when it comes to winning duels quickly. The faster you hit, the more damage you'll do and the more likely it is you'll win (or win fast enough to move on to other targets). That's why AC is pretty much core on her. More effective damage AND attack speed = more DPS = more winning. Not to mention the huge bump in armor, which is exactly what you need in a duel.
That armlet + heart build worked for you because they had already given you a free 140 damage. At that point, it damn near doesn't matter WHAT you build because it'll all work.
Yes, always activate both before. ALWAYS. Well, unless activating Press The Attack means someone will run out of range. I hate the cast delay that ability has. It's a pause you'd rather not have to have when chasing someone down for a duel.
no, it only applies to the other players in the match.
so if all 5 players have favor it adds a 150% bonus I think (?)

New scheme to keep you playing. More carrots at the end of sticks.
Axe, Sven, Legion Commander
Omniknight + Wildcard (Magnus, Windranger, Shadow Shaman...)

Just another 2-3 hours or so until the Wraith King
Seems like Duel isn't quite a Doom. Lots of hero abilities still work. If something is on autocast it works (searing arrows etc). Spectre dispersion, vipers passives, abaddons ult, medusas toggles and others still function. The only abilities that get disabled are passive crits, bashes, lifesteal, evasion, cleave and mana burn.
Yeah I realize that, but it's been like that since the patch even though the item server and MM servers have been up for some time in between. No big deal though, I'm sure it'll be resolved.

Pretty sure some of that is bugged. Unless I'm mistaken it's definitely supposed to disable abbadon ult.
Edit: I'm having a tough time finding anything regarding this. I found a old and outdated list on mutes on joindota but outside of that I'm coming up blank. I might boot up wc3 tonight and start posting on the dev forums.
Intended.

just watched cyborgmatt throw with pyrion. was pretty funny hearing pyrion get mad at his team and then realizing his team was dead
So, lets assume for a second that there more to this event that is coming within a week, and not part of story that will continued in a few months.
If the Wreath Night became Wraith Knight, I believe 'The Season of Giving' part will become the next event, which would be a 10 player match against the demons of the Abyss. The gimmick would be that you would buy/give items to a player on the enemy team.
I think there is a decent chance there may be part 2 to Frostivus, since I don't think Valve would release the Gems related to the next event as some hard to get prize for this one, but maybe they are. Plus, while minor, the way you tab though the pages seems odd for something that is only 3 days, when you could of just liked to them directly like Frostivus 2012.

Thanks, that could be important when I'm low and waiting for a fight to break out nearby, as I need the regen to be ready for it.
I thought that with her Arcana item, but I figured I was probably crazy.

whatever you go with, Axe is a must.
I like Axe, Shadow Shaman and Windrunner in particular. Omni might be the best candidate for surviving the Gyrocopter round.

oh boy, just 20?
His degen aura is also good for kiting. Veno is good for that too.

That's a nice idea - wish I would have done that.

How many people do you guys think work on Dota 2 regularly? I estimated around 15-20 not counting people that come and go.

1 more bar.
Definitely excited to see what happens next. Like someone said that "demons killed" counter has me intrigued.
A similar number to you, but if Valve's employees are all they are hyped to be that is like 30-40 for any other company, maybe more.

Wraith night or normal?
Edit: Was that our Manfestival getting called out on Pyrion's stream?
I love Lifesteal in both cases
