Is there really a gender swap cosmetic in HoN?

There are several.

Off the top of my head, Lina and CM are Men in HoN by defalut, they have skins to make them into waifus.

Not like an item that swaps genders, but a bunch of alternate skins for every hero, including female remodels of male heroes and vice versa.

I believe the transition will be with the insects/animals first. Sand Queen, Brood Papa, Ms Weaver. Some modeler will bundle those in a chest and off we go.

There are plenty.

Slither (Venomancer), Demented Shaman (Dazzle), Amun Rah, Swiftblade (Juggernaut), Pyro (Lina), Glacius (CM) etc.

 

[Ultimatum]

There's some weird stuff to get used to in this patch, but I think I do prefer it. Death Prophet is ridiculously good in pub games now haha spirits are the new sb.

Amun-Ra really reminds me of Phoenix.

I don't think it's a direct port but maybe Icefrog got some ideas for Phoenix from working with S2.

Loving the new feature which shows you the stacks on the final scoreboard. We just beat a five stack as 2-2-1 with Dagon Riki, of all strategies.

How do you build Dagon Riki? Which level of Dagon do you reach and at what time?

 

[Sigismundo]

How do you build Dagon Riki?

1. Dagon
2. Ethereal Blade
3. Shout DRIVE BY in all-chat every time you blast someone

 

[Cyborgmatt]

Doom has yet to lose a game in 6.79 pro dotes.

Dagon level 1-3 cannot kill anyone by the time I have them. These items are expensive and I cannot afford them, so you have to build a regular Riki first to get some kills, right?

You see what happens when you pick a good hero as your favourite hero, kids?

How many games has he been played in?

Are you going to nerf him in 6.79b?

I love that Loda goes for Sange and Yasha and Phase boots

e: Dazzle!

No, since Dagon is mainly built early-mid game and you'll be putting it off too late if you build regular Riki items (apart from maybe PMS).

I want Alliance to win but they're lineup just looks weird to me, someone explain what I'm missing about it.

Push strat. Jugg/Druid/Dazzle/Veno can all push well and NS can dive people trying to stop it.

Too soon to be calling shots like that. We have only had 6.79 since Monday.

 

[Randdalf]

I didn't play him, I only drafted it, but he pretty much went straight Dagon + Boots and built the rest off of kills. It only really works if you snowball, but I specifically banned heroes Riki might have a hard time against like Bounty Hunter, so that there was a better chance of it happening.

Just played against new Broodmother. Man that is annoying to deal with. I was against her in All Random as Luna. You practically need something like Timbersaw, Beastmaster, or Nature's Prophet to deal with her as she is VERY HARD to kill in her current state. She can just go anywhere out of vision in the trees if you dust her and you better have something on short cooldown to kill trees. That or a 5-quelling blade team, hahaha.

Actually, while we're at it, how many item options does Lycan have? Last I checked it was quite a few (outside of the absolutely core Treads/Vlad's and might as well be core BKB/Basher)

I don't know why Loda keeps picking Juggernaut, seems like he'd always be better with alchemist or gyrocopter or something

[Anbokr]

necro is basically core on him, especially with the buffs to the item and howl now.

treads(or travels)/vlads/medallion/necro/AC is the best build imo; there's flexibility for a bkb or heart in there tho if u need it

 

[Technosteve]

lycan just got shit on by [A]

Is the new Alchemist changes really a nerf? You can't kill the fucker without some serious nuking.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

His winrate increased a bit (2%), so maybe it makes jungling way easier. But the lack of HP is pretty notable, especially with Alch shitty growths.

 

[Dahbomb]

The change makes it so that it's a bit more worth it to have some extra HP rather than going full glass cannon DPS build.

I have seen people play in matches and it just seems that Alch dies a bit more early on. This just means that players have to adjust their play a bit, maybe get an early Drums or make Treads.

New alch is stronger IMO. Armlet is amazing on him.

That's exaclty the point of the nerf, less life = easier to nuke him down. Higher regen to make up for it, so you really need to kill him fast. If you dont, the EHP will grow fast.
