It's just a game, guys. Play, have fun (or don't), but when you quit forget about it. Don't be so into the game that you keep going into MM solo queue just so you can get your 4 coins for a "first of the day" win but you just end up losing and losing and your MMR drops under 1200. And when you finally win it's because your mid carry is a smurf.

What is this....I don't even....

Just follow me, the poor Engineer, in team vision, for about 3 minutes so you can see all the chat.

Can someone tell me what the hell did I do wrong to receive Jereziah's rage? He's rambo-Jere vs Chronos and Flux, low on life , I try to save him with a keg (mostly succeed, but he goes back in anyways), he dies, he rages and changes lane and call me horrible and retarded.

Only thing I can see is that he intended to take down Chronos with a heal on himself, but I'm not sure. What was he on about? Why did he rambo? The hell am I supposed to do?

I think I'm gonna stop talking about it and actually keep track of my IH wins and losses.

Let's start with the 2 losses so far tonight.

Basically our bound eye purchase was justified from the start, lol.

New drinking game, you have to drink every minute that passes an IH lobby is an open and not started. Seems like we'll all be taking minimum 15 drinks until we get any IH going.

Maybe you haven't paid attention to all the drama that IH games bring? Who the fuck wants to waste time doing that?

Yeah, it's mostly just luck. Average Wait Time my ass D:

In another note, are the heroes' guides in the Herodex any good? Because I've been following them and auto-leveling up to save time and buying the starter's items.

Since you are starting up on the whole genre ; yes, follow the Star guide to the letter. Except some few rares exceptions, they propose a good way to play the hero. Maybe not optimum, but don't bother with optimum right now.

The guides are normally really good.
The only things you should learn to look into changing are (from my experience of learning items/heroes).

For tanky characters - going for shamans headress or black legion helm - ie. Are you going to be taking a shit tonne of magic or physical damage respectively. (getting both? decide which one you need first.)

For a lot of characters - is a shrunken head necessary for the enemy hero composition? And also whether a nullstone might be needed too, against lots of targeted skills.

Also sometime, you might want to take different boots depending on what you want to do. If you've got the good farm for it - taking steamboots as a support hero and keeping em on strength helps you stop being the usual squishyness. The opposite might help if you dont have farm, take striders instead - good for saving money for a portal key.

Don't follow the featured guide for myrmidon.
Elder parasite as a core item? I think not.

Funny story ; it was my 2nd HoN match and I had Myrmidon. Followed the guide. Had a 3:1 kill ratio or so at the end of the game.

I was convinced he was meant to be played that way for the following weeks lol. Can't deny his ulti + parasite activation deals alot of damage though

That IS the way he's meant to be played. He was designed as a ganker/semi-carry, but he's too good as a support to warrant being played any other way usually.

Disables are godly.
