it's pretty fun, though there are a small handful of heroes that make it unfun. going against meepo, am, qop, batrider, puck, etc is kinda boring. pretty much an auto-loss or auto-win if they have those heroes. though you get 2 chances to get an item, so that's cool.

I hope they do more of this stuff, it's very fun.

Naga is so balanced in this mode~

It's kind of eh, I liked it the first few times but it gets old fast. Mirror image, hit bucket, destroy all the candies that come out before they can put them back in. I'm just playing it for the items now. Can you get essences from regular games or just the diretide mode?

oh, I never thought to deny them. though it's just better to steal them since you get exp and gold, but "late game" denies seem to be a good idea.

I want to see how fast a naga with manta and necrobook could empty out the bucket. oh, maybe pl would be better.

tried chaos knight but he's not mobile enough and his mana pool is way too low.

Well the problem with picking up the candies is that it increases your TP time. So if you're backdooring the bucket as Naga, then ult the enemies, you can't TP out before the song ends if you're carrying candy.

It works well in combination with a Prophet though. He can take the candies as soon as Naga beats them out of the bucket, and during the song he can do his teleportation skill since it is unaffected by candy.

Meepo is frustrating but not unbeatable. The only time I've done so was by depositing so much candy that we closed the absurd level gap meepo makes.

And the candy pot sees invis, so shadow blade isn't the most effective.

Plus whenever Rosh is around, all invis things are revealed to both teams

shadow blade is very effective for escaping though. if you see your enemies coming (which you usually always do) you can move around the corner to fog the bucket and they won't see you. the move-speed it gives helps in that.

anti-mage and shadow blade is a funny combination, since they will try to predict where you blink you can just blink and invis out.

Diretide is way better now that you can't kill the candy.

Truth. I played Naga a few times but I must admit that running in with the illusions and killing all their candy was pretty bullshit.

Welp, I now have a second unusual courier. I like it more than the last one (which is still available for sale/trade, if you're interested).

Allen having the mines invisible to spectators would make spectating techie games really frustrating and pointless

Of course the fact that techies can't work into the current spectator system is frustrating, too

A redesign of the hero probably isn't unwarranted
