Heroes of Newerth Thread 2: Electrician Boogaloo. Now Free to play!

[Tensei]

The next patch will make couriers free for both teams.

[Dhsu]

Yaaaaaaaay

[Tensei]

Gotta say, I'm really liking some of the newer heroes (with the notable exception of Emerald Warden).

Bombardeer, Dampeer and Monkey King are all a lot of fun to play and I'll probably miss those in Dota 2. :[

At least heroes like Aluna, Tremble and Fayde will have superior counterparts there.

[Hemophiliac]

I'll miss puppet, still one of the most versatile heroes ever.

[Dhsu]

What's Tremble's counterpart?

[Hemophiliac]

What's Tremble's counterpart?

Broodmother is similar i think.

[Tensei]

Broodmother is pretty much Tremble yeah.

[Dhsu]

Eh I think burrow and the pet would be considered the key elements of Tremble gameplay, neither of which came from Broodmother.

[Tensei]

Pets very much are a Broodmother thing though, and Mounds are pretty much like Broodmother Webs.

[Dhsu]

Except you can't teleport between them, which is a huge aspect of Tremble. I didn't really see Spiderlings as being equivalent since they're temporary and don't have a snare, more like FA's skeletons, but I guess they serve essentially the same function.

ANYWAYS nobody said we can't ever play HoN again if we like the S2 heroes.

[Bleck]

reinstalling this I guessssss

5v5 Chronos Wars

[Bleck]

how long will it take me to earn enough coins to buy chronos

[Tensei]

Chronos is 250 Silver Coins, which I estimate to be about 10-20 games, depending on how much you win. He is kinda underwhelming though.

Had some good games with Luke, Vilecat and a few shizzies today (even though we lost everything)

I'm just having a ball playing all these new heroes.

[Admiral_C]

Rhapsody is quite fun to play. I have no idea why though. She doesn't seem terribly spectacular, but I find myself choosing her more often now.

[Tensei]

The OTHER community hero finally making it into the game. I dunno, I like the design but it overlaps a bit too much with Tremble I think. Looks fun to play though. Guess I'll be spending more coins on that Nyan Cat courier though.

[Yilena]

I really love playing as Pollywog Priest. You just put down your lazorzz, err I mean voodoo wards, and hold the enemy in place by turning him into a frog or wrapping your tongue around them.

[Tensei]

Don't forget that with a bit of practice you can frog them, then cast your wards on them, and they'll be trapped inside.

But yeah, Pollywog is a great hero.

[Tensei]

Oh god...

E: Not a mod, it's an official courier skin.

[Dhsu]

I...I need this.

I hope prguitarman is getting a commission for every Nyan Courier sold.

[LuketheXjesse]

Hahahahahahaha holy fuck I must have this!

This tier list is pretty accurate as far as I can tell. Flux and Dampeer are a lot of fun though, even if they get outclassed by alternatives.

[Dhsu]

Whoa, not what I expected at all. Might explain why I'm <1300 MMR now...been randoming Drunkards this whole time. BTW what did they do to Tort that suddenly made him God tier? Also where's Tremble?

[Tensei]

The cast time on Torturers stun got lowered, which is apparently pretty significant.

[Dhsu]

Oh. Well considering that was the one thing that made Tort hard to play I'd say yeah that's pretty significant.
