Heroes of Newerth - Insta-lock Scout, level Codex to 5 - Games

my ign in shortyish and i main bubbles

"Pread change to ranged." they said, three seconds before the game starts. *head on desk*

Good tip for new players, but while the attribute usually gives you a good idea of role, make sure to think about it. Not all Agility heroes are carries (see: Andromeda), not all Strength heroes are Initiators, so on and so forth, skills more than attribute decide your role.

IGN: elevator13 also your thing about Strength champs is kinda wrong. There aren't really any tanks in HoN, instead Strength champs tend to be "initiators", something which LoL does not have. Initiators get in quick with a Port Key and an extremely powerful AoE disable/nuke ulti. Examples are Kraken, Behemoth, Magmus.

ign: BeardyDuck [editline]26th December 2010[/editline] installed the in-game guide mod that oncology posted and some client ui stuff to clean it up.

i hate the hon community, they always complain no matter what i do. if we could switch the LoL players with the HoN players, hon would be the ultimate moba

Mini UI and tower range/ability range/item range indicators are great addons too.

IGN Dwragon like always. Gonna play dampeer cause I like attack speed and lifesteal. Best stats. But really from what I've heard he's Xin. not really sure. [editline]25th December 2010[/editline] So how much coin do you get per game? I wanna be fabulous. Holla Holla get PSRa

wow hell yes 6-4-10 as witch slayer finally won a game chronos was carrying us though

add me you whore fruity.

I'm back nubs. Ready to get owned?

[QUOTE=Shortyish;26968994]i hate the hon community, they always complain no matter what i do. if we could switch the LoL players with the HoN players, hon would be the ultimate moba[/QUOTE] I think the problem lies as much in game the as in the players, it is nigh impossible to win a game if you got some who feeds or plays poorly, your team is only as strong as your weakest link. If you get a shit player the next 45 minutes are gonna be shit too.

[QUOTE=Banned?;26967953](And I'm not saying spell casters can't carry in HoN, but it's less likely than a high end agility hero.)[/QUOTE] Spellcasters carry the game by running around and ganking. Basically ruining the farm on the enemy team. People usually concede if a good ganker does his job well. But if they don't concede, the ganker usually gets carry items (Shieldbreaker or Harkon's Blade on Hag, Dr. Repulsor just being an asshole etc. etc.) Anyone can carry with the right amount of farm, but the defined 'Carries' does it such much better with their scaling skills. By scaling skills, I mean something like a crit, a bash, lifesteal etc. that scales with attackspeed, damage or anything else you can think of. (Spells don't scale in the sense of having more mana makes them scale. You can make them scale a bit by getting Spellshards or Harkon's Blade. (Don't get both, unless the enemy has picked up additional magic armor) But they don't scale a lot more than that.).

[QUOTE=efeX;26972237]legio is a tank somewhat[/QUOTE] Legionnaire is the only hero in the game that can be defined as a tank. But he is still useless as a tank. Once he has used his taunt, people just ignore him.

i wanna learn balphagore or maliken

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;26972367]i wanna learn balphagore or maliken[/QUOTE] Good for you!

HoN works best with friends. The game itself, to me is much better then LoL but doesn't work with the community.

Is it still 10$? I might consider getting this later today. Don't like cashing out to games like this that might die later on. Will it die? Dota 2 will be coming out and so will Blizzard's SC2 dota.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;26972367]i wanna learn balphagore or maliken[/QUOTE] Both heroes are kinda difficult to play, so read guides on the forum and watch replays of pros playing them, also consider testing them in no stat games before you play them in a real game and cause a train wreck. [QUOTE=ChopSticks613;26972555]Is it still 10$? I might consider getting this later today. Don't like cashing out to games like this that might die later on. Will it die? Dota 2 will be coming out and so will Blizzard's SC2 dota.[/QUOTE] Dota 2 won't be coming out anytime soon and SC2 Dota is more like a minigame, so HoN won't die in the near future.

I don't think Dota 2 will have a map editor, or will it? Maybe that could destroy HoN? I hope not, HoN has so much to offer.

flint beastwood is such a beast.

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;26973084]flint beastwood is such a beast.[/QUOTE] Oh you

[QUOTE=Cloak Raider;26967439]that is the worst pun I've ever read[/QUOTE] That was the point.

[img]http://gyazo.com/0c9dc92b2724a740b1f6327b56834520.png[/img] These are the mods I use, and they help me greatly. If anyones interested I could upload them so you guys could have em too. Get on the Facepunch channel and let's start playing (I'll be ready in 30 minuties :3).

out of all those mods, i only have the bang! mia and xxl hero guide mods.

I would greatly recommend the Respawn Timers. PS: Anyone interested in making a Facepunch clan? OP could you add my smurf (Hematology) to the list aswell, since I'm in the GM clan on Oncology :D!

scratch it all

[QUOTE=thebadboy91;26962047]It will infact be over tomorrow, but no one knows if it will be today after 23:59 or 26th December 23:59! What's the point in playing on trial accounts, you are bound to no stat games where people tend to leave after they get killed.[/QUOTE] Actually all I have been playing is no stats. And its about 50/50. But it is a lot nicer to be able to leave 6 minutes in if it turns out your team sucks than having to wait 40 minutes because your team wont concede.

so is there a reason why the dashboard bugs out on me after every game, it usually stays in the "in-game" mode and it doesn't update the channels and i have to manually rejoin them and some im's don't show up either.
