i would be shocked if that doesn't already exist. In fact, I'm almost certain I saw something like that when I started playing hon 2 years ago.

"ss" is the same as "miss" and "mia".

During the Battle.net days no one said "ss", everybody started with typing "missing" then it became "miss" or "mia" and later on "ss".
"ss" kind of became a shorter term of a shorter term.

I guess frog hasnt updated that index in a while.

I'm 99.9999999% sure I'll be buying the premium version of this game, even if valve puts it out for $60.

Its replay value is nearly endless.

For TF2 the premium upgrade is buying any item in the store, so like 50 cents.

I think the minumum amount of money you could put in your "steam wallet" was 5$ when I upgraded my tf2 account, but that money can be used for steam games too

Just had my best game ever I think. Went 11/0/27 with Clockwerk on my first try. I guess playing a bit of Pharoah in HoN helped me ease into how his abilities are used.

I really like his battery assault, just that skill alone lets you interrupt people from casting certain spells and from getting away. Really useful skills all around.

I like his voice too. I used a guide and got Aghanim's for him which was really useful for the reduced cooldown on his ult.

I noticed though that with it you can't hook through allies/allied creeps to get enemies. But I guess the reduced cooldown is worth it.

This is intended and is why he will always suck compared to Pharoah

Had a fuckton of fun playing in single draft mode today. Really breaks the boringness of playing it safe with your best heroes.

Goddamn.

HonGAF really needs to forsake HoN and come around.

So should I. Not that I play HoN anymore, but I should come around more often. Not that I'd make the list.

Ah good, Manta bug is fixed. Luckily no one pulled the bug out against me, but a few random games I spectated had people use it. Was really hollowing to see a team go from having a 10k gold advantage to the enemy using the bug to suddenly have a 15k gold advantage instead. Pretty sure a ton of people in the spectator slots reported the person too.

Ok so Outworld Destroyer seems really dumb.

At level 20, with just a ForceStaff, Rod of Atos, Treads, a Talisman, and an ultimate orb:
I was hitting for almost 500 damage.

Also when u get too about 1600-2000 mana, you dont have to turn off your orb. Because after 3-4 attacks, you will always regain your mana back from those attacks.

He just seems insane, I was literally 2-3 hitting some of their heroes. My gpm wasnt even that good, I ended with about 400.
Imagine if you went crits or got DD :S

He's certainly a good character.

During patch day I was fooling around with the dota 1 and trying out lycan, he's a whole new tier of insane. I thought NS was bad I'm really going to hate this game when they patch in lycan.

He has a few weakness though, one being BKB since his orb is magic, and two being early ganks since he's super squishy with no escape.

Speaking of weird terminology, sometimes the bots will say "I'm out" and I have no idea what that means. Out of mana? They're out as in 'peace out' and heading back to base? Or they're saying they're about to die?

It just means they're bailing out of the team fight or going back to base generally. I was always confused by "Go on _____!", but now I understand it.
