The common argument is that Devourer is good against people who don't have skill, not that he takes little skill. Hate to be the bearer of bad news... Yes, if you sit there and let him walk up to you and ult you when you have half health, there's a good chance you'll die.

Swift is one of the only viable melee carries at the moment, I don't think he's really that strong unless you completely fail to counter pick against him, he's just unique.

I was the one playing dev and I was playing no stats nubs shit because I'm trial so I guess he is just a nubstomp hero.

I got a bloodbath and immortal in that game.

Love this.

I wish everyone still played like in closed beta. It sucks when you get a pub slither like this: http://replays.heroesofnewerth.com/match_replay.php?mid=20357376

Got two beast hearts first, then behe heart, then PK, so he could "initiate better."

He proceeded to ask me as gladiator to buy wards. We told him he should and he answered by saying, "I've been throwing wards all game!"

You guys needed a better Pollywog Priest too.

Hint: stop playing games with "noobs" or "1400" in the title and the players tend to be better. =p

Nice job though, I haven't gotten an Immortal yet.

Yeah, actually, i've found 1500 or 1550+ games to be just as bad as AP noob only games...

When i was 1600+, back when I actually still played a lot, I'd still get retarded players in those games who were carried there by friends. There are just noobs everywhere i guess.

...Dark Lady? She rapes everything post-shrunken head with some life steal. She is by far the most powerful hero, even higher than Chronos with her silence.

Then again, back then, SB did seem to rule the fields of battle.

I also miss the Beta days, when 80k people would be on. I am surprised when theres 30k on now-a-days.

TDL can instagib uncoordinated teams, but against good teams she's pretty weak because she only has sslows and splash from her dive. Basically, against a TDL with a Runed Axe you just need to recognize that if she dives through a creep wave and you're next to it, you're going to get splashed for one hit times each creep in that wave. Ie: A shit ton of damage, instantly. So don't stand near creep waves and she loses a ton of her effectiveness. Also, Void Talisman makes her completely useless.

So yeah, she's strong with Runed Axe+BKB, but until that point she's incredibly weak, unlike Chronos who has a massive AoE disable or Swiftblade who has ~10 seconds of magic immune or invulnerability. She's much more lategame than the two of them.

Also, new patch with tons and tons of things copied from LoL coming soon.

Casual mode is casual, why not just remove denying if they're just going to still give them full exp? I guess it lets you keep your lane from pushing too far and you deny gold, but I think it's a stupid idea that doesn't really add anything to the game.

The only thing I see copied from LoL is casual mode, which still isnt really copied from LoL. Idejder pretty much said they didnt use any outside influence.

Gold/Coin is apparently HoN's equivalent to mixing Riot Points and Influence Points for special stuff. I expect it to be like Nexon, where it's a timed item.

Map Editor's coming, too... and here comes the tower defense wave.

Explain? I don't get the reference.

Alos, best line in that video, "If this shit's too complex you can play league of legends."

Had a crazy game today as Witch. Our team makeup wasn't the best (no carry ftw), and I had to solo as WS, but it wound up pretty good. We also had a really rough time about halfway through, and almost conceded a couple times. In the end, we somehow managed to always CC their sand wraith, and somehow pulled out the win.

Had an amazing play as WS, where me and two of my other teammates were the only ones left up after a teamfight, along with their SW. Kraken thought he might be konging and we decided to check. When I came to kong from the legion side, i noticed my pk cooldown going up, signaling that his dissipate was damaging me from kong. I blind stunned him from up on the hill above kong, and gave me enough time to miniaturize him before he could run away, and also allowed us to kill him.

IIRC, we got rax out of the proceeding push.

The reason for HoN > LoL

Mostly the editor, for me. I actually prefer the standard models. (I even still use the beta Electrician sound set.)

Is that a remodel of Abaddon/Accursed? The dark looking knight-armour Hero, that is.

Pretty sure its either SS or torturer.

The one I posted with wings? That's actually Moon Queen. If your talking about the actual Knight looking guy, that is SS. You can tell by the way his model is hunched, his hands and "tail/legs" are positioned.
