Pretty sure he and Azuki were playing the other day.

He's done a lot of pretending he's in the beta the past couple weeks, including impersonating old DotA players on other boards hoping to get an invite. If that's what you mean.

You know Dota 2 has range indicators for skills right?
yea and im not a big fan of it

@tomat: stumps mod replaces the models of all the trees with stumps, so that jukepaths are really, really, really obvious
powersupply mod was a mod that would notify you whenever someone came within range of its aura (which is kinda hidden, the one that detects when spells are cast)

As I understand it, it lets you know the exact locations your skills can land, instead of making you guess or train your eyes over the course of a thousand games playing that hero. You know... Precision is supposed to be LEARNED, not handed on a plate!

Reminds me of complaining threads about multiple building selection of Starcraft 2, somehow... I feel in the end it's really just better to have it, even if it requires "less mechanical skill" from the player or whatever.

The range indicator mod shows the range on every players skills.
Thats lame.

I dont mind it starting out though, just seeing the 'range' when I hover over an ability, mainly because the 'units' measurement they use is just baffling to me still >.<

Also, big noob Q, but how do you stop auto attacks? Do you just have to keep moving? The pros always seem to be clickin on teh ground to stop attacking so they can get kill shots and deny easier >.>

Dota2 screenshots are photoshopped.
Its SO obvious.........
.....

:(


Edit. Markot - press H ( I think its H). It 'Holds' your character, so they wont do anything. Including auto-attacks. Its SO SO SO SO SO damn useful. Map it to a more useful key if you can, I have it on an extra mouse key.

grats on the beta key, did you know someone that hooked you up or just get a lucky invite? when i was watching the glhf stream there were around 115 people online and they said 'that was the most people online at once by far', so it must still be an extremely tiny beta. also, mad mad etc

The new Chipper Alt avatar is amazing.

Actually worth (...actually no, nothing is worth 600 gold coins but you get the point) its price, unlike Frost Rider or King Ra.

maybe it was cuz it was evening here in US. id imagine that there are more people on early morning when its evening over in asia. from looking at their queue list, the majority of people were asia and euro with just a few NA.

I emailed Icefrog, straight and simple. Right now more than 400 have access to beta.

I emailed Icefrog for more keys; if I get some Ill give em to you guys through some simple trolling contests

So at this rate HoN is getting what, two very slight hero tweaks per month? Are they saving up like 500 kajillion balance changes for a huge patch or really just don't care to change anything?

No one pays for balance tweaks. HoN has a very small window to get as many players as possible before DotA 2 swoops in.

But aren't some people at s2 solely committed to balancing? Isn't that Nigma/Diva's specific job??? I want to get paid to just play SBT games all day -_-.

So Cthulhu is pretty good, though I'm definitively not a big fan of the on-going "he's a jungler!" craze.

He's CAN jungle. I don't think he should. Like Pred I guess.

Meeru does dota 2 feel as good to play as hon? Hon has been sped up quite a bit in comparison to dota (some good, some bad - love the auto courier and relative increase in strength of support past ward hoe bagging), and there's a lot of little cosmetic things missing that I'd miss (ck explosion being the biggest at this point).

I dunno, just a lot of little things where I'd like to see how they compare - movement, pathing, fog, trees, etc etc.
