Heroes of Newerth

[Daeos]

Neat, I've been playing a ton of DoTA lately, wouldn't mind giving this a go.

Sending a couple PMs if you guys have invites left.

[Inconsiderable]

I know many people here are not that smart. But if you send me a PM include your fucking email or its worthless. And dont send anyone else a PM, because I still have dozens of keys and you will get one (as long as your are not "awaiting moderation").

My last posting about invites.

[Daeos]

Yeah, on that note I was one of those not so smart people who remembered to include an email after I sent a PM. Sorry Ossoi.

I'll just send one to Inconsiderable since I didn't have a response and he has "a dozen keys".

my thought is that if they aren't smart enough to include email when sending PM, then they aren't prepared for the world of pain they'll experience when they start playing HoN, and I am better off sparing them from it!

His ult is a low cost, short cooldown debuff that lowers armor and makes the target visible for the duration, which is pretty long. Extra bonus: a lot of people don't even know it does this so they will go invis and stand there like you can't see them. If the other team picks at least 2 invis heroes, I'm insta picking pestilence, and if it's madman, I'm going to try and convince someone on my team to strap to my hip and follow madman around all game just shitting on him as much as possible. Make their life miserable. Ward the forest, if I have to. No freefarming for madman. It works very well, and pestilence is a good hero anyway even without the stealth revealing consideration.

Yeah I do the same thing. Love Pestilence. I have to say I always have the hardest time with Scout, though. Even though madman has more ways of escaping, I can usually seem to catch him, Night Hound once you dust him it's not like he runs any faster stealthed... but man, Scout, what a douche.

Speaking of which, saw the sickest scout build last night heh. He farmed up a Dagon (I think the HoN name is something Codex, under combative) and then ganked the rest of the match. The more kills he got the more he powered up the item. He'd ulti crossbow from stealth then pop level 3+ Codex and basically guarantee kill someone, like 1k+ damage bomb on their face every 45 seconds. Not to mention this is with an agility hero who can crit for hundreds of damage if you need to finish someone off.

Is there a nerubian assassin knockoff? I can't seem to find him.

[Vithe]

Nope, no Nerubian Assassin yet.

Honestly, competent players should not have this happen to them. Scout is easily countered in a lane with wards and one stunner or nuker.

Please never do this. It can't possibly be more newbie.

It will not hold up late game or against a good set of players, but you could rove the map raping anyone solo by doing that I'm sure.

but anyway I will own you Faille and type QQ everytime you feed me until you are reduced to calling me a nonstop string of racial slurs and sexual epithets about my mother. and ill do it with death prophet too.

Ok, so I'm starting to see the bad side of concede. Even in something like a shuffle pub, if someone gets a double kill or a gank fails (resulting in the gankers dying), there is a very good chance the other team will concede. Hopefully they add a certain time restriction on conceding (like TDA).

[Spawn]

All it takes it one person to *not* concede and the vote fails. If they do concede and all vote for it, you get the win (if your on the opposing team). Not sure how that's a bad thing. If they are going to concede that early in the game, it probably wasn't going to be a good game to begin with.

Unless of course I'm not getting what your talking about, which I very well may be. In which case, I'm sure someone will correct me :P I'm still pretty new and still a lot to learn.

[possible]

I'm saying the first 10-15 minutes is too early to determine if it will be a good or bad game and conceding after failing one gank is far too early.

Hahaha, I know, but the pungent smell of the cheese is overwhelming. Also wtb a hero port of your namesake. Need me some reaper's scythe.

Yeah it does sort of turn him into an Int hero. It worked so well for this guy though that I'm sure the ganks paid for the price of the item and he had bfly and sny at the end anyway. Semi-dependent on the enemy team being squishy though.
