DEEEE NIGH ??????
They need a tutorial on when double stacking and pulling lanes for noobs to not go in and kill your stack to "save" your creeps .
The promised patch today is old school heroes in the pool and bugs getting fixed
Hero 100 has been hinted Kinesis is a ranged intelligence hero who uses his surroundings to mercilessly pummel his enemies. The more havoc he wreaks, the harder it is for his enemies to take him down!
I think he can throw trees and creeps at people and some how make them float or stop them.
My first thought as well.
For the next week, we'll be giving away over $100,000 worth of Gold Goblin Coins. To qualify to win these coins, all you have to do is log in and win a matchmaking game of HoN. This will give you one entry to win a piece of our $100,000 Gold Coin Giveaway. You'll only be entered once each day, but dont let that stop you from Coins will be dispersed as follows:
Monday-Friday -
1000 x $10 Gold coin packages each day
Saturday-Sunday -
1000 x $50 Gold coin packages
Sunday -
One Grand Prize Winner of 100,000 Gold Goiblin Coins

New heroes look kinda cool/unique; I like the vindi changes--makes him more like obsidian destroyer? S2's got a new fetish with -armor.

Are you solo queueing as support? That's always a nightmare, remember I once picked Glacius when I got into an All Pick game and went to get a drink and came back to find a team of 5 supports and was told to go mid because I was blue, sigh randoms
I've been loving VJ in 3v3 lately. He has great utility early in the game, but he can actually do stuff with farm that comes his way and has huge damage potential later on with curse and his ulti. He doesn't seem to become useless nearly as quickly as other supports, especially in 3v3.
Yeah, I'm loving that skin as well. Saw for the first time yesterday from a Myrm on my team and it's just awesome.

I still check this thread regularly to be disappointed it fulfills that
Elaborate?

I keep checking expecting to see a bunch of posts but instead it will go days without posts
Something's happening to fnatic's HoN team, they decided not to scrim for now, and "an announcement is coming". I watched H4nn1 sit there, streamchat open, looking shocked for 20ish minutes, responding to the chat now and then. In response to people asking if they're switching over to Dota 2, he just said he's always stuck to playing what he loves to play, and not going for the money. Uhh. Competitive HoN is starting to feel pretty damn dead, and I feel sad; there's a huge load of things Dota 2 could learn from HoN (and vice versa, for that matter) and I'd still want the scene to go somewhere. Having two different visions of Dota on the market, and seeing the competition evolve on both could be so nice

Competitive HoN just lacks tournaments with decent prize pools right now, I mean why would players like Testie play in tournaments when they make more streaming and from customers and any players interested in tournaments would be better off playing DOTA 2 at this stage if they have any interest in making money from it

I feel like Cthuluphant's ultimate doesn't seem to do enough damage, and now it does even less. Perhaps I was just underestimating it? Not a huge numbers change though.
Hellflower change wont do much. Usually by the time people have it, mana is irrelevant anyways.
What exactly does true strike mean on Arachna's aura? Ranged attacks can't miss?
Shorty11857

It says EVERYONE so it might mean all attacks in range of the aura, I haven't played with it yet though

True Strike counters evasion.
Had my first "having your team get stomped to the point of wanting to concede only to look up and see it's only been 9 minutes" game in a while last night. Things don't usually turn out THIS badly. Serves us right for queuing up as a 5-man with two guys who haven't played in a while, I guess.
No thanks to the Slither/Swiftblade lane either. >:|
