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

[QUOTE=Deac;30753694]They really got on the ball with new heroes, though I wish they would add more than just heroes and skins.[/QUOTE] Like what?

[QUOTE=Ninja_Blue;30754433]Like what?[/QUOTE] I'd like to see another popular 5v5 map personally, but that's probably unlikely.

[QUOTE=Deac;30754520]I'd like to see another popular 5v5 map personally, but that's probably unlikely.[/QUOTE] People asked for this back during DotA times, but the map we use now fits the best for the competitive scene, so they have no reason to make a new 5v5 map.

[QUOTE=Ninja_Blue;30754722]People asked for this back during DotA times, but the map we use now fits the best for the competitive scene, so they have no reason to make a new 5v5 map.[/QUOTE] Sure this one is best for competitive, but what about just normal public games and such?

[QUOTE=Deac;30755325]Sure this one is best for competitive, but what about just normal public games and such?[/QUOTE] That's still competitive. Whether or not it's the "pro scene", you are still competing to be better than other people.

[QUOTE=Ninja_Blue;30755844]That's still competitive.

You still have to be innovative, I can't see a new 5v5 map hurting, pros can stick to caldvar.

If they fixed up the Watchtower map and added it to matchmaking I would play it. It actually has some neat ideas like the two bosses with different tokens, instead of Kongor. It's amazing how good it feels just to play a different map for once.

Making a new map should take a lot of effort, since you have to balance every ward spot, every jungle spawn, etc. So if they made a new map, it'd probably take a while. There's a lot to take into consideration.

[QUOTE=Ninja_Blue;30732667]Easier than pudge.[/QUOTE] I'd say every port is easier to play as the engine makes performing any action at all much smoother.

Wow, that looks awesome. :D

[QUOTE=pvt.meh;30766468]Wow, that looks awesome. :D[/QUOTE] Longest base attack range in the game, high AGI + INT growth, 50% uptime 5 second silence, slow nuke that prevents people from juking you, and a DoT root trap that might be viable in combat. Completely ignoring the ultimate that we dunno what the 3 moves do, "awesome" sure is an understatement.

Looks like the super beta testers are leaking more than a fountain...

this was leaked onto reddit [code]General Changes: Compendium reworked into Herodex When you join a game, Chat wont steal your focus as much anymore Pause interface tweaked a bit Vast and unending interface memory reductions Fixed the quickslot items Fixed account switching not clearing clan / buddy list Added Baby Taunt New Hero: Emerald Warden Blacksmith Alt Avatar Emerald Warden Alt Avatar Items Changes: Disassemble business Charged Hammer no longer allowed Geometer’s Bane no longer allowed Iron Shield allowed now Wingbow allowed now Barrier Idol Fixed its active buff so it will reduce SuperiorMagic damage as well Changed targetscheme to “target_self” Restoration Stone Shrunken Head Changed targetscheme to “target_self” Hero Changes: Accursed Fixed Sear & Harkon’s Blade so they will stack Balphagore Fixed Demonic Pathogen spreading to nothing if you manually spread it when no valid targets are around. Added a timer when the Demonic Pathogen is in “pre-spread mode” Blacksmith Fixed his Frenzy’s multicast application from going through Magic Immunity Blood Hunter Tweaked his silence so it’s scripting is better Dark Lady Made her ultimate application go through invulnerability Deadwood Fixed Rotten Grasp from applying the immobilizing+DoT if the target gets pushed out of the Rotten Grasp Flux Tweaked Q slow scaling (again), thanks to Habile Tweaked his W so it won’t have any collision problems at certain distances Tweaked his R so it won’t have any collision problems at certain distances Gauntlet Added Grapple double-tap functionality as a single button press to E Fixed Enfeeble & Harkon’s Blade interaction so they now stack Myrmidon Fixed buildings being turned blue while his ultimate was on.

Fixed E so that it applies the correct state level now Fixed Parasite + Homecoming Stone bug when Parasite latches on the target on the same frame the unit teleports Fixed Parasite being both Dead and Alive at the same time Puppet Master Fixed enemies of Puppet Master being able to teleport to Voodoo Puppet with Post Haste Rampage Tweaked his Charge when it completes Silhouette Fixed her alt avatar not playing the proper cast sound when she uses R to summon her illusion Slither Fixed Toxicity & Harkon’s Blade so they will stack Tundra Made him not magically stand up if he dies during his Cold Shoulder Zephyr Made Zephyr’s Gust do damage to ancients Ancients are still immune to the push portion of Zephyr’s gust[/code] don't know if it's real or not.

The Emerald Warden's Icon looks gay as fuck but we'll see how he/she looks in-game. I hope the alt avatar looks nice and no fancy ass joke Alt Avatar.

Reminds me of the faun from the film, Pan's Labyrinth. [img]http://images.usatoday.com/life/_photos/2007/01/03/pans-faun.jpg[/img]

Told you it won't be Geomancer btw.
