I love you guys for doing this. And with this excellent commentary, maybe we'll catch the attention of a few random twitch viewers? :3 (speak less about HON! shhhh)
 
I wish these games weren't at 7am

I did so horrible though. So horrible.

I must reclaim my honor.

It's no problem, every ones learning right now. It being your first game, we can totally understand why you were standing 10 yards behind Lesh. You had no idea that you had the double long range heroes against Veno who has a short one and that SK level one stun is very short.
 
I'll confirm I'm playing IHL as soon as I replace my laptop fan which should arrive today (Monday), and can verify that my computer isn't dead.

I should probably brush up in MM first though...
 
Is there somewhere that lists a DOTA 1/LoL/HoN/DOTA 2 naming conversion?

For example: Is leshrac the SK or something? Or Nasus from LoL does he have a DOTA 2 counterpart?

There are no real direct analogues for LoL heroes. I saw a website/blog once that had a list of "if you like hero X in LoL you might like hero Y in Dota2" but heroes play a lot different in DotA than LoL.
 
Is there any chance we can get an IHL schedule? I'd like to actually be able to know exactly when a game is going down instead of 'ehh whenever'.

We chose this model of Captain Draft precisely as to be able to do a game whenever in HoN.

The inaugural game at 1:20 AM irks me only because of Neki using a big item on that with barely a crowd to receive it though, but what you gonna do.
 
Alright guys, I think I'm becoming a pretty solid player. I now have 100 wins under my belt and have played every role in the game so I know what to look for. I have started counter-picking other teams, and know how to pick items against certain hero comps. I still do make mistakes, but I recognize that and work on fixing them.

I play with one other friend right now and we both are at about the same level, but I'd like to find some more people to play with. We are playing right now if you want to get in on our games.
 
Just had a great game is NeverNude and Spirit of Jazz, by great I mean fun, we (I) balls'd up big time at the start and never recovered.
 
Do you earn less experience for games the higher your level becomes? I only got 60 points for a win without bonus xp and I could swear I was getting more earlier on.
 
10 minutes isn't the norm for you, wtf? I'm not in low-priority but it feels like on average it takes 10 minutes to get into a game before I even factor in the decliners.

I haven't been in a 10 min queue since like December.

Probably because I'm garbage tier.
 
It probably has something to do with the amount of people you queue with. I usually queue with 3-4 and it takes forever to find a match.
