They could at least give you the option to use the arcana pup with the persona as an option, that'd be fun. Also is there a drop table for all this candyworks stuff? I've just been grabbing things that look Diretide-exclusive (I got a lot of candy couriers and some greevil wards) but I have no idea how much stuff there is overall so I don't know how much I should be conserving my candy

I'd be more inclined to call it that if it were more Hoodwinky and less "serious fantasy wolf"-y.

I abandoned two games in a day, and I’ve been punished by 4 games of Low Prio. I’m Herald, and in last game I went 9/3/34 as CM. I legit felt like a Smurf, the opposition were atrocious. Can recommend non party queue Single Draft.

I've just been grabbing things that look Diretide-exclusive (I got a lot of candy couriers and some greevil wards) but I have no idea how much stuff there is overall so I don't know how much I should be conserving my candy Someone datamined this: https://pastebin.com/zFLNY451. In addition to this you can also have Immortal Chests and Battle Pass points show up. As far as shop mechanics: Shop & Items You can't get repeats of most items, once you purchase something, it's gone from the pool (except treasures and battle points). You get some amount of base shop rerolls (for me it was 8, not sure if BP level might affect this), but you can earn rerolls by winning games - 1 reroll per win, up to 10 rerolls per week. Not sure if the base rerolls refresh per week. Hopefully they do. Diretide Shop Slot The leftmost slot will always have a Diretide item. There's 6 Diretide items: 3 couriers, a ward, a Rosh skin and a Warlock set. If you buy out all 6 of these, the leftmost slot will be freed to have random items like the other two. Candy You have however many candy sacks you got from the battle pass and you can earn up to 5 candy per week by playing games. Regular games give 40% of a candy on wins and 20% on losses. Turbo/Diretide games give half that so 20%/10% per win/loss. Earning candy like this is pretty time consuming. Assuming a 50% winrate it takes 17 regular games per week to earn all 5 candy. With 11 weeks left on the BP the most you can get by playing is 55 candy, which is a pretty garbage return for the time invested TBQH. Most candy will likely come from BP levels both as direct rewards and from recycling immortals. My Strategy If you have a moderately leveled BP, it is probably worth to buyout all the Diretide items immediately (it is 36 or so candy total). This frees up that slot for Arcanas or Battle Points, making all your rerolls 50% better. Reroll until you get an item you want, then start filling your candy slots. Fill one at a time, NEVER use the fill button. Hopefully you get the candy you need for the item you want before you're in danger of running out of candy slots. Look at the 2:3 or 3:4 exchanges and try to build for what you need using those if you can for the efficiency. You never want to run out of slots, because then you'll be forced to buy an item you don't want or use the awful 3:1 exchange rate to free up slots which is a massive waste of candy.

The first match ended with me as CM level 25, the rest of my team was 22. Enemy only had Reverse a Polarity and Marci to interrupt Freezing Field so I had a great early game but the 1 & 5 were quite bad. Ursa hasn't Roshed by 20 minutes despite all the space I was making. Next game a pub grabbed CM and went 1-1-3 and in general we just had zero coordination, all on different pages and it was just a bad draft with no late game potential. It was the second one I was real tempted to bail on, but gently caress LPQ.

So when is Wraith Pact going to get nerfed because I'm a bit sick of it being a must buy for pos3/4 every game now...it's becoming BKB 2.0. It's a loving killer item it just sucks that it's basically needed every game because of how OP it is.

Pretty sure the item just has to be reworked entirely or removed. There’s no way to balance flat damage reduction to all damage types — it’s either going to be too small relative to the cost to matter or too big to not buy every single game (and hence drives the meta) But either way it’ll certainly be changed in the next balance patch (usually several weeks after TI)

I'd say either make it stationary, or make the effect "pulse" like once every 5 seconds, reduce enemy's damage by 30% for 2s. And at least +20s to the cooldown.

You claim it in the treasure screen: CyberPingu posted:So when is Wraith Pact going to get nerfed because I'm a bit sick of it being a must buy for pos3/4 every game now...it's becoming BKB 2.0. It is a really obnoxious item to play against. This sort of poo poo is what I hate about the post-TI pre-patch period, so many people tryharding with whatever strats won TI, gets old real fast. Worst time to play Dota in the entire year.

Just herald things: Playing offlane Hoodwink last night. Absolutely dumpster the lane and shut down Jugg forcing him into the jungle at 5 mins. Have a 15 min Glepnir and 25 min etheral blade. Go 20-2-10 Our Troll Warlord carry has a BF, BKB at 25 mins, game goes to 55 mins and he has BF, BKB and MKB. We lose because the Spectre gets too big and I can't carry the game by myself :/ Feel incredibly frustrated that I'm never getting out of Herald at this rate. I'm not god's gift to dota but last night went 1-3 in games where either the carry or the mid got smashed while we win the offlane either with me as a 3 or 4 CyberPingu fucked around with this message at 12:23 on Nov 6, 2022 |

I don't think I'm particularly great at the game, which is why I'm still in herald. But I also don't want to just spam Bristle Back to get out of Herald because that just seems like papering over cracks. Also I like Hoodwink and I'm actually good with them

Couple possibilities here: You don't go 20-2 consistently, those 2 deaths resulted in game-losing disaster, or your mindset is ruined after you lose a game where you did extremely well so it makes you do stupid stuff for a bit.

After you turbo hosed their lane and they left to jungle what did you do with that space on the map? I hope you won one of both of the other two lanes with rotates the second they gave you the lane

I guess I'll try dawn or Marci for a bit. As much as I like playing hood she probably doesn't add enough value in the current meta

Correct I don't do that every game. This was just the peak of frustration. My deaths didn't result in us losing as far as I can tell, one was super early in the game and the 2nd was when they were fountain diving. I faired better tonight. Went 3-1, would have been 4-0 but we got slaughtered the final game

Another thing worth pointing out is that there's a reason they call it grinding MMR. If you're a little bit better than your MMR and you win 60% of your games, which is very respectable, you're still looking at playing 100+ games to go up a rank.

Wraith Pact has a bunch of angles to adjust it. The amount of damage reduction, its speed, how many hits to destroy it, the aoe size, its cooldown, how long it lasts, the mana cost. It definitely needs something done to it.

As its currently a 30% reduction, they could just make it a flat number rather than a percentage and then it no longer scales ridiculously into the late game. Also I never get mvp in my games. I've now got mvp in 4 of my last 5 games purely playing pos 4 or 5. I don't know what I'm doing different.

I'd be curious how a WP + Pipe combo on the other team affects the winrate of heroes whose concept is that they deal a lot of magic damage, like Sky, Zeus, and Veno. I don't think anyone would pick Sky if his spells did half damage after 25-30min and you still had to play around BKB.

Went 4-1 last night spamming enigma. The loss was dawn breaker People in Herald love to clump up for black hole. The 1 loss was a guy that last picked faceless void even though we already had a carry, then had a big steop and forced me into playing support dawn, which went very badly. He spent the whole game complaining about how Spectre doesn't counter Ursa and that we need to let him farm. His first item was a shadowblade then an MKB. Ran into him in the next game, destroyed his lane as Enigma Riki and then baited him into Chrono-ing illusions 3 times during the game
