Hopefully some one will post about it hastily to uncover this knowledge.

Huskar strikes me as a good pubstomp hero in that is very strong on his own but with little-to-no teamfight presence. Good for getting out of hand on a pub where nobody works together, but easily dealt with by teamwork.

Why do you people keep posting scoreboards? It's so boring.

Confusing it for the LoL thread no doubt
Yeah most of them are pretty good, especially the ones that have different surroundings, like Tidehunter being underwater

Except for the overdone idle animation I like most of them. Most of them look like they were playing with a pogo stick while their portraits were taken.
So, does GAF play together? The only reason I haven't played again is because of the lack of a concede option GAF's textfile solution for autojoining the channel didn't work.
didnt know you played
you should probably add me to steam

Nah but other then OrangeCaramel don't think there's many K Popers in HoN Gaf, and OC doesn't really play LoL, but he may be a hater, not sure.
Somebody get Shadow Fiend his inhaler!
He bashes it on Steam, away from prying eyes. Such is the workings of the brotherhood.
bro going 11/2 is so cash
Whether Void has genitals
the terrible interface and annoying bugs
Does that means his head is
a penis?
The UI is terrible, the bugs are annoying.
5 months worth of discussion right there, Uchip.
new broken-ness is discovered in every game though
What? The interface is probably the best part of Dota 2.
I mean like the whole package of the interface. The main menu overlay, being able to easily spectate games while waiting in queue, stats + viewing options for watching replays or spectating, region choice, friend system, and all of that stuff is really great. The in game stuff is fine, the store is good, and once there's an option to resize the UI and disable the dumb borders that take up half the screen I don't really get what the complaints would be.
Beyond being able to turn off mini-map click to move of course.

No no, the shame he covers is the fact that he is not, in actual fact, a faceless void. A most horrible birth defect, like a politician with a heart.
oh no you didnt
the features are there, its the design and the awkwardness that make it bad
the friend system is just steam, and theres no way to skim through a replay without watching at max speed
the textures on the interface itself look like someone used a bad photoshop tutorial for "generic grey stone texture"
either way, calling the interface the best part of dota2 is crazy talk!
I dunno
I dont have to run in borderless window mode to prevent LoL from crashing
they need to implement hero swapping and repicking already, the current system is bad as is the matchmaking. Have to always remind myself that they will change most of it before release.

The interface in Dota 2 is the best out there are far as the big hitters in the genre go, so I can't really complain. LoL isn't bad, either, I guess. HoN makes me throw up a little in my mouth-hole.
(I'm talking in-game interface. Main menu is a whole other ballgame, although Dota 2 is clearly lacking in features that will eventually make their way into the game, so it's not really a fair comparison.)

"hey guys check out my new score"

"did you see this latest development in my scoreitude it's rad maximum"
I mean, it's fine if you type up a story to go along with it I guess (I'm talking novel-length, here, at least fourteen chapters), but the scoreboard and a single line like "I just tried out Bloodseeker for the first time!" IS PRETTY BORING DON'T YOU THINK

These are contradictory statements. The replay system is lacking the feature that allows you to watch at slower speeds (or whatever it is you want).
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you're not talking about the interface. You're just talking about features.I dunno

Oh, I don't know, something interesting?

Im pretty sure it was obvious i was just talking about bugs in general
the only in-game things that are annoying are the Giant trees which make tree juking janky as fuck and the lack of a hero targettable map ping (are they going to implement this?)

It may be obvious to you, but you straight-up said "the features are there", so I naturally began to question your logic when you followed up with complaints about lacking features (which you are still doing!)! !!
This one's on you, bub!

if you get what im inferring is there a need to be a post nazi?
thats on you, bub.
You can't go backwards or scan on steam replays as far as I know. If that's what you mean it has nothing to do with the interface, and is just an issue with the underlying system. And the art is all good, dunno what else you want. Icons are strong, well drawn, and diverse for the most part.
So the only thing you're really complaining about is this texture:
Which doesn't look like generic Photoshop stuff at all, it looks like a pretty plain, non-distracting grey border that you'd want and/or expect from any game.

What are you inferring? It is incredibly unclear to me when you contradict yourself multiple times. "Post Nazi" is a cute touch, though.
You're awfully offended over nothing. This is stupid. Sorry I ever said anything. Geez.

Sue me, but I like the interface. Simple, clean, doesn't shovel distractions into my eyes. There are parts left incomplete, naturally, such as the limits on some control remaps and blank tabs on the main menu, but design-wise I very much like the direction they've taken it. Posters on Playdota and the like who argue that there needs to be leaves spewed all over the panels, and flashy crap all over the health and mana bars, and the item icons made more grainy and "gritty", they make my sinuses throb.
I'm waiting for this super interesting topic of yours we can talk about.
For me, MOBA threads have four functions:
1) Bragging about your scores and troll builds
2) Giving advice to new players
3) Trash talking
4) Complaining about MOBAs

I like how you got so upset over this. Hint: Three of those are interesting. One of them is not. I'll let you figure it out, because you're not a braindead monkey.
At least Archie started linking to them instead of posting them directly.

Man, take a look at your posts. The only poster here who is upset is you.
