Dota 2/Diretide

Diretide is a special game mode during Dota 2's Halloween event. It is much less serious than normal modes and statistics aren't recorded during play. However, players can still earn battle points and items for playing the mode.

Phase 1
Every player is given a preview of the item they will get at the beginning of the game. Each faction's ancient creep spawns will be replaced with a Candy Stash, which stores 25 Greevil Taffies at the beginning of the game. Candy Stashes behave like other buildings, having True Sight vision, being affected by the Glyph of Fortification and being a valid spot to teleport to using TP Scrolls, though they have infinite health. Both teams will need to obtain Greevil Taffies dropped by Roshlings on the map or from raiding the enemy Candy Stash, then deposit the Greevil Taffies at their own Candy Stash to gain gold and xp for their team. Greevil Taffies are unhealthy, and will decrease a hero's max hp the more the hero has in their inventory. Once a hero dies, all the taffy they held will be dropped.
