Yup, had a pretty good player on my team the other day as Ophelia, high APM and decent skill level, but two people actually (don't even think 2 was necessary) got hands of midas, and just completely shut him down creep wise. Of course, it didn't help that it was a team of 5 friends, but i could see it happening with some good pubs as well.

Edit: Err, don't remember the HoN name for Midas for those who haven't played DotA.. Touch of something! Idk, it converts creeps instantly into gold, with a cool down/single target.

Alchemist's Bones, it's on the intro shop just like before.

You guys further up the thread are getting Nerubian Assassin and Nerubian Weaver and Slardar all jumbled up...

Madman has the pass-through windwalk damage ability that Nerubian Weaver used to have, exact same ability - but the similarities end there.

There's no real analog to Nerubian Assassin in HoN yet.

Slardar was transferred over as Pestilence, who looks like a scarab beetle on two legs, sort of like Nerubian Assassin.

Anyone else really hate how phase boots really neutralize devourer, nymphora, pharaoh, and valk's abilities? Nothing like landing a perfect hook through a phased motherfucker and your team bitching about how you cant land anything.

Name in game is accordion, I'd definitely be down for some games. I'm usually online pubbing in the afternoon.

Oh god yes, but at the same time it's really fun to fuck with Valk/Devourer and get phase boots.

Having played a lot, I can honestly say I've lost all interest. I had an epiphany moment where I said "What am I wasting all of this time for, and why is this fun?"

I guess MMO's have ruined me. Rueened, I say.

Thats true of every video game though, DotA/HoN are just very good for burning time because they are rather captivating if you don't suck.

ive a horrible noob but ive been playing puppet master alot recently and i think ive actually improved .7 k/d ratio instead of .3

im still terribad though so i have a question.

ive noticed people in my lane tend to outlevel me even though i am denying and trying to last hit everything possible, is there something im missing or am i just doing bad at lasthit/denying?

Because games like Dota, CS, HoN etc support competitive play much more than MMOs?

You play to get good, so you can compete - if you're that way inclined of course, if you just want to pub it up then ignore the above

Man with puppet master when that counter hits 5 harrass them. Hes like a good ole storm from back in the day with his harrassing early on.

Do you go back to the fountain? If so, don't go back to the fountain. If you have to do so, consider porting back.

Obviously, stay in experience range as creeps die, which is roughly a screen width away from creeps.

Other than that, denies, and kills, there shouldn't be any secrets to how quickly you level.

Fun game, but I have to say... it has one of the worst player bases I've ever seen.

This was extremely true for DotA, and to be fair I didn't have much hope for HoN community to be any better.

There's something about this type of game that really draws out the elitist in everyone.

Elerion · 08-10-2009, 05:52 AM

It's a game where having a poor teammate will make the next 45-90 minutes of your life a giant, cumbersome waste of time. You'll also probably never see the people you play with again.

Even Jesus would be a dick to people if he played DotA/HoN.
