Monkey Contra?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dota
HoN is actually a stand-alone game. The reason it was developed in the first place was to get around the limitations of the WC3 engine.
It does have some tower defense elements, but I would say the main feature and draw is the team-based combat. I haven't played World of WarCraft, but I hear it's very similar to the PvP in that game.
If you need a beta invite, I think Genoism was offering to pull some strings to get them to people who wanted them. Or you can pre-purchase in the next 12 hours.

Btw, it wasn't just you that post was aimed at - there were multiple instances yesterday that just frustrated me to no end, part of it due to stupid pubs. This is exactly why I despise pub games, in addition to the douches in pubs, and rather keep games to exclusively in house.
True, I doubt we would've won even if we switched. Not to mention after the first few genocides in our favor, I started being a big target for ganks, and there was nothing anyone else could do because when Pharaoh wants you dead you are dead. This would've been mitigated by wards, and our Scout was pretty decent at that TBH, but we still didn't have enough map coverage to avoid getting ganked over and over. And it doesn't help that we chased and/or got baited like retards on multiple occasions...

No j00!!

Om nom nom.

Seems to me he'd be a decent anti-jungler. Usually they'll already be missing some health from neutrals and with wards and eyes in the right places he can make sure they never keep their hard-earned gold.
-
Yeah, still getting the hang of Portal Key. I have a hard time visualizing its max range, so I often end up being nowhere close to the enemy heroes. Would be easier if it just triggered when you're in range of the target location IMO. Does it go through trees/terrain btw?
Also why did they bother giving Elemental Void a cast range? Waste of a click...
-
Oh man, I am totally refreshing until I get that one.
And if you're lying I will cut off your fingers. ALL OF THEM.
Edit: GAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Haha, that's true, we could've just replied in the HoN thread.
BTW I have to say they have the weirdest banner advertisements. One's just Armadon kinda dancing around. No animators on their team?
-
Wow, I just tried to use my HoN password to log in to the OCR forums.

I guess the assumption is that he would also get healed for the amount of HP gained by the STR buff? Otherwise it would seem like raising your max HP doesn't really do anything unless you have some way to top yourself off.
-
This would definitely benefit from a live performance (good luck to whoever decides to try playing this
), but the arrangement is fantastic. Good luck on the panel! -
That would defeat the point, since it would stop the enemy team from being able to target him. His job as a tank is to take the hits.
True, if people are wasting their stuns on Elec, then that means they're not using them on other people on your team. Unless, of course, they have an AoE stunner, but in that case you would probably want to initiate by disabling him.
-
If he gets stunned out of his disable, which is bound to happen unless you're facing complete newbies, he can maybe purge a few people and that's about it for him in a team battle.
Wouldn't a BKB fix that?
-
I did not know this site even existed.
A little behind on the updates, but they have a nifty Hero build calculator that looks pretty useful.
-
I still got like 5.
I can include it in your Flag order if you like.
I'm not getting a flag but I'd still like a patch.

- If you chase after Pebbles with Predator he will yell "GET TO ZA CHOPPAAAAAAAAAAH" I wish
That would be amazing and needs to be an official suggestion.

Holy crap, Sam!
Congrats to you and Eulogic. And have lots of babies, Sam -- no way is that kind of talent stopping with you.

If my hero weren't disabled by the server every 2 minutes the last few games we might have had a chance.
-
Man, those fast parallel 3rds always blow me away. Such a BEAST!
-
Check out hero guides on Honwiki.net and the official forums. They'll help you with item and skill builds and how to use them properly. I generally read guides for heroes I recently used or will use soon, since I find the information sticks better that way.
After that, it's just practice, bro. If you get frustrated you can always vent by playing some TF2.

With regard to "just playing the game," I've never really bought that, since the game changes constantly. One minute you're attacking/defending, the next minute you're in an arena, and later you're trying to be king of the hill. I just see stuff like melee-only and spy-and-seek and prop-hunt mods as other game modes, voted on by the majority of players like any RTV. And if you don't want to play by the rules, you don't need to play on the server. So yeah, I'm just of the opinion that democracy rules, and if the /votekick passes, it doesn't matter if you were "just playing the game" or not.

Not kicking someone because it causes drama is like not banning someone because they have a grief-join script. Giving someone license to annoy people just because they become even more annoying when they're disciplined just proves that such behavior is acceptable and effective and encourages more of the same.
That said, I'm honestly not on the server often enough to warrant admin in the first place, so it won't bother me in the slightest if I'm taken off. Just remember to think twice before catering to atmuh's whims.

Yeah, one of the major characteristics of most RTS games, namely micromanagement, is much less of a factor in DotA/HoN, since 95% of the time you will only ever need to worry about one unit.
