No. He does have Jakiro's ult, though.
Has a rocket that mini stuns, tar that slows, a buff and his ult is a low dmg high DoT dmg spell

Many times players are very one sided. They either try to win by ganking and failing at ganking, or they try to win by endlessly farming and never doing anything to help their team. Both strategies contribute to a team loss.Scrow said:maybe they're farming items as a means to an end... that end being winning the game?![]()

It's walking the fine line that wins games!

noisome07 said:Still getting the error. Even deleted the Update folder and still didn't work =/
Casval said:Make sure it's tos.txt and not tos.txt.txt. If you have show extensions off (Windows default) and your filename is called tos.txt, then it's actually tos.txt.txt.
tl;dr rename tos.txt to tos and try again.

ha ha, that's what you get for AP. I've been picking Voodoo Jester a lot recently, and I'm pretty sure he's secretly OP. It's awesome.Lone_Prodigy said:ALL PIC-CHIPPER

The new stats page is so much better. Someone has a good KDR? They play carries all the time.
Got a quad kill with Puppet and Harkon's. <3
It's not a new hero exactly. Rocket and Tar toss are batrider's abilities from dota. The other two are pretty new.blitz64 said:HoN reaches 2 million accounts. Congrats

As for the new hero, it is not a port. It is a new hero design by S2.

Belgorim said:I have a bunch of friends (almost 10 of them) that have been playing a lot of dota for several years until we got bored and wanted to try something new. We are currently playing LoL (pretty much every day). We tried this out over the weekend and I must say that it is anoying as hell. Who the hell thought it was a good idea with an announcer yelling GENOCIDE everytime you kill the last hero in the other team? The graphics also struck me as a clusterfuck with effects flying all over the place... less is more in my opinion.
On the positive side the engine seem smooth and I love the part with all the stats and support for competitive gaming. I just wish it wasnt such a turnoff to actually play the game. Seems like it was made for much younger people....
Any regular HoN-players tried LoL?
I was strictly commenting on the presentation of the graphics, not the overall gameplay. If what you are saying about LoL is that its not competitive I don't have anything to argue with, because it is not. I do however argue that LoL was not as big of a turnoff to play going from dota. HoN feels more lika a clusterfuck in the presentation, hence my comment (probably me being out of line and immature) about HoNs presentation being childish and geared towards young teens.Duran said:Wait, you think HoN is made for younger people yet you play LoL..? I won't comment any further but...
Anyways, GENOCIDE isn't really annoying, it shouldn't happen that often for it be. As for the graphics, they do take a little time to get used to. I remember my jump from DotA to HoN and I seriously couldn't tell what was going on. After you're done playing ~25 games you'll be good to go.
I kind have to agree with Belgorim, my initial impressions of HoN are the following:
Liked:
-More options for game types
-Greater transparency than LoL on user stats, hero stats, pre match info etc
-Built in voice chat
-The difference in sides of the map, probably because I'm so bored of LoL's two map skins.
-Creep variety was kind of cool
Disliked
-Honestly for some reason the UI felt so cluttered and oddly confusing. I spent most of my first match just trying to figure out what everything was compared to LoL etc.
-The minimap seems less intuitive with colored dots instead of player icons
-The general dickishness of people in games specifically marked for noobs. I know people on these games tend to be dicks, but I'm playing unranked, no stats, marked for noobs games and people are still being assholes about feeding and what not.
-The announcer voice, not inherently bad but just wasn't working for me. It made me think of old FPS games and didn't really mesh with the game world.
-The store set up also felt a little less straight forward, but I got the hang of it. I kept fucking up and double clicking.
-Multi colored chat box is more confusing than helpful, I kind of tuned it out after my first match.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't think that one game is inherently better than the other and I'm sure I have built in bias from playing LoL so much. Of my complaints the only real big one was just how cluttered and confusing the UI felt. I expected to be at a slight loss in the game due to unfamiliarity with characters and items, but I felt a whole lot more confused than I thought I would. It was like watching football only everything was done backwards or something.
Also no one was active on the GAF channel
Anywho I honestly don't want to seem like a troll and I think most of my issues would go away with more time spent with the game. Unless I can get my friends to try it out though I'm not sure how likely I am to stick with it.

The other part with getting used to stuff is my issue, since there is no way I can manage to convince my friends to get used to stuff that annoys them. And I will go play where my friends play (not an issue when SC2 releases). Still cannot believe the decision to keep the announcer in HoN, nothing positive about it at all!
I do want a new dota-experience though (hence the trying out HoN instead of LoL part), so this might be the only option unless a new dota gets released I guess.
