Nice move! So I earned 4800 points in total thanks to the Arcana! Plus 500 points in Year Beast mode, plus 325 points by winning normal games with the Arcana in my inventory.
Recycling gives 50 points for 10 items, which is not worth it: you would need 200 items to earn 1000 points, which would cost 6 € at the cheapest market price, while the 1000 points are sold for 2.15 € on the store.

I admit Year Beast mode is lots of fun. It is only being hampered by the pay to win element.

Our group got in, was a blast. I find the mode a lot of fun when it works, though I feel it would be better if each player just had a set number of points rather then the pay to play nonsense. Maybe it will be ported to be a normal custom game in the future.
Our team was Sven, Witch Doctor, Winter Wyvern, Bristle Back, and Troll. My god the Witch Doctor Healing did so damn much, 12k in Hero Healing in a 32 minute game.

solo queueing for the thing is SO frustrating

Lost an event we could have won because people don't understand how to focus the fucking melee rax.
Also I think the Year Beast is legit stupid. Give it an order to attack and then it'll swipe that thing once and then promptly ignore it

man I have absolutely zero idea how the fuck to play lycan. I'm just a useless piece of shit when ever I have to play him. I've had this fucking guy as my FIRST hero in the hero challenge for eight months now. Pretty much just given up on using him.
It probably boils down to my micro skills. They are non-existant. I don't understand how the hell people control more than one unit

I dont think you need micro skills to have a positive impact with lycan, just drag a box and right click in fights. You might want to assign your wolves to a group but that's it.
My guess would be that you are not farming and split pushing enough, or don't realize how strong you are at killing solo targets and rosh very early on.

I have F1 for the main hero, F2 for other units, and F3 for hero+units.
I find it better to lane him than to go jungle.

Yeah, don't jungle Lycan. The Howl damage in a duo/trilane is absolutely stupid and his wolves can't tank jungle creeps very well.

Turn on unified unit orders, hold ctrl and click an enemy all your units attack it easy micro

Half an hour and you can only get one game per cycle, or even an hour would work so much better

I apparently threw the game when I went Invoker for the first time yesterday
Went 5-7-9 or something, but it was a carry build so I guess I'm expected to win it for us. Should I be spending one (both?) of the Forge Spirits into the jungle/other lanes to increase my farm and team vision, or is it better to keep them near you for the damage and armour reduction?
My micro is very, very poor so I'm wondering if I should main a different ability altogether, something like Chaos Meteor and Ghost Walk+1. Get a bit overwhelmed when trying to switch abilities on the fly, gonna take a lot of time to remember what the combinations are, and you don't often have time to consult the list
Servers were awful last night, people disconnecting all over the place.

You usually don't hard carry games as Invoker but if you're not dealing decent damage and disrupting teamfights with your cc you're not contributing much.I apparently threw the game when I went Invoker for the first time yesterday

He mainly requires practice, you need to be able to invoke at least your build's main spells on a whim. He's one of the heroes who really requires getting the muscle memory down in bot games if you don't want to hold your team back.

Just set my record for hero healing in a Year Beast game, Witch Doctor is pretty good

I'm 3 for 3 on brawls right now, last one a total stomp. I think there are a few great healer characters, Witch Doc and WW are the two best IMO, but heals on both sides are inevitable (not to mention YB's Mek and hand of god abilities), thus I think whichever side picks AA is at a huge advantage. He totally destroys any heal-centric strategy.

OK seriously? I was wrong.
Windrunner is fantastic as she is. Buffing her windrun will make her hella OP.
Agha + Ulti is so good guys.

Yeah surprised I haven't seen any AA play in Year Beast seems like he would crush seeing as everyone seems to play around just sustain and deathball

I've done 3 as AA; won 1 and lost 2 :/
I've been able to hold back pushes well enough.... the problem is in both losses our carries were allergic to pushing, and AA can't really force lanes forward. I probably made both losses ~20 mins longer than they needed to be, but after a certain point you just can't carry a team with him, you need the carries to step up.
Also for some reason everyone seems to think AA is a front line hero. I would constantly position myself behind the team -- and they would simply move behind me, so it became this sadly depressing dance of the team moving backwards in the lane.
Good hero though.
I hard carry invoker this way, only using two spells out of the total pool; Alacrity and another situational spell.
Mask of Madness and Alacrity on yourself to become Super Saiyan, the critical hits usually two shots back lane (support or int) heros even without divine rapiers.
