I know Radiance is normally an early game item or else you don't bother but goddamn, even if you're behind (like we were against a lineup including, among other things, KotL and PL) a late game Radiance does work on Spectre
I love Spectre so much. Easily my favorite late-game carry, I find her a lot more fun then Medusa or whatever

Thats not a bug, both heroes have free pathing for the duration of the duel.

I cannot download the dota 2 update 
Any fix? Tried restarting steam, deleting appcache

Is that really intentional? That's not listed anywhere on descriptions for the skill.

Eh, lots of skills don't list small stuff like that. Its going to be relevant if LC or the other person get...force staffed, pudge hooked or venge swapped I guess?
EDIT: Guess they can't be force staffed so its only an issue with Pudge and Venge I guess?
Es can pull them, wisp can relocate them, Chen could send them back, clock could cog.
Just read the new LC lore and found a few interesting parts in it:
"They rode into their city, fighting through bloodstained alleyways and burning markets, cutting their way through the monstrous throng to the source of the sudden invasion: an ethereal rift within the city square, and at its precipice thundered their dreaded champion."
"Enwrapped in a corrosive shimmer, the leader of the abyssal horde swung its massive blade, cleaving a legionnaire in two as his flesh began to spoil. Tresdin lifted her blood-stained sword and settled her sights on the beast. It turned, smiling at her through a maze of teeth. Heedless of the battle raging around them, they charged one another."
"Her anger smoldered as she pledged brutal vengeance upon the forces of the abyss, and damned be any who would dare stand in her way."
Abyssal underlord confirmed to be her nemesis?

Seems like they're ultra-stoned today, either that or uninterested. Doesn't make for a very compelling cast though.

Man these guys are blazed as fuck. I'd kill for a close game between Alliance and Fnatic though
Looks like it's happening, hope Fnatic take it

holy shit that Rox.kis vs SS.int game =O throws and counter throws.
I finished my 10 solo placement matches (plus played one game after), and the console command to see your MMR skill is the same as the MMR assigned to you after you finish the matches (and it goes up and down during the placement matches too). For all except one of my games, the MMR went up when I won, and down when I lost (luckily went up when I lost once).
Here's a graph of what it looked like:

I have an average MMR:
- solo_competitive_rank: 2573
- solo_competitive_rank_uncertainty: 571
- solo_calibration_games_remaining: 4
Edit: I have been solely playing Legion Commander though, so I am effectively average (even bad) with this hero.

What was your performance like in the game where you lost but MMR went up?

I wonder how much these apply to ranked, since you'd assume the overall quality would be higher. I imagine though your initial rating is basically your normal ranking but the uncertainty is reset so your initial movements are greater
Rampant Speculation Time:
Wraith Night is not a holiday only map, its the first map of an official hold out mode Valve will fully release in the coming months. Similar in style to Mann Vs Machines, you will be able to party up and play on any of the maps. The Wraith King's Favor is the Tour of Duty Ticket of the mode, allowing you to get more shards and access to each maps specific items. This is why there is no announced "end" date, and one of the pieces of loot pertains to a future map.
Or I could just be wrong.

This is what I think too. Well, minus the Favor thing.
I think the Favors might be an experimental item to allow mapmakers access to a revenue stream in the vein as item creators.
Maybe, but they feel so much like a Dota version of a Tour of Duty Ticket, since a TF2 tour would take about the same length to play as the favor lasts.
Unless Valve wants to dabble with more uncharted waters, and pay map makers based on how much time people play their map with a favor item activated.
