I think we need to power down this Hongaf bot app until we figure out IHL season 2. The salt levels in GAF IH has gone through the roof; doesn't feel as enjoyable anymore. I think people are also more frustrated because a lot of today's games have been ultra stomps, one after another (I was on like a 5 game losing streak for awhile)--that's just HoN. It's awesome when you have a really close game, but looks like we got an unlucky streak of stomp after stomp.

P.S. Swiftlame I tried my heart out that one pebbles game, but it seemed like you were trolling that one on scout. And I'm sorry for the tremble game, nothing I could do. Nothing... magmus like ultra rapes tremble.

:lol, puber is reaching joke character levels of salt. I think all the slight anger in IHL is being amplified by joke salt, and so we've got this vicious salt cycle.

What hero would you send mid to counter a well-playing Pred? And.. would someone be willing to do some 1vs1 with me? So I can improve my lane presence/lh/creep agro etc. and get some practice/tips in? I'd really appreciate it :)

Pred loses mid vs all ranged heroes.

1) Harass him non stop with auto attacks.
2) When he leaps don't fight him, just run out of his range/back to tower. Leap does a lot of dmg so don't let yourself fall below 400~500 hp.
3) Wait until he uses stone hide to stun/nuke.

If you harass him right, you can probably kick him out of the lane at lv 1 or 2.

edit: huge mistake!

Swift has a point. If you can't get out of his Q he's going to hurt you pretty badly, far worse than your auto attack will hurt him.

Since Slither lost the slow on his orb effect, he might have more trouble fighting Pred mid. Arachna is a guaranteed win though, except she's not that good of a carry.

What? Maybe not in the competitive scene, but alongside pred, arachna is the ultimate pubstomp carry.

I wish Sand Wraith, Chronos, Dark Lady, Monkey King, Revenant, and Drunken Master weren't shit or a big risk to pick so I could actually play them without everyone on your team going "Fuck why did you pick that hero!?".

All carries are fucking annoying, especially Chronos and Predator. Shitty Rewind and CoA. Don't you just hate it when he rewinds back all his health? Hate carries.

I forgot to add MB.

Real talk: Cardinal said in his stream tonight that chronos is due for a rework in an upcoming patch, along with a few other heroes.

I think s2 is just going to abandon DotA "hard carries" (chronos + sand wraith) and rework them into the semicarry model. TDL fits the bill fine because she has an early game presence that sand wraith and chronos do not.

Edit: I'm hoping for a huge balance patch soon (like s2 did with 2.0); seems like one hero gets a slight nerf once a month, and 1 or 2 heroes get very slight buffs once a month--that's just not enough active balancing. You don't have to alter the metagame every 2 weeks, but at least adjust heroes that are obviously too weak or too strong (ra, tree, and midas are just way too good and balphagore, geomancer, and engineer are just awful). Plus people have been whining for ages about chronos and sand wraith (people whine about TDL, but I think she is fine; the hero itself is fine, she's just been phased out of the metagame like every other melee carry--that's a separate issue).

chronos auto attacks fucking hard early on. if you can get a slow or two he has all the "early game presence" that he needs

Pred is easy to lane against mid. Learn to take advantage of creeps. His stone skin lasts 2.5 secs level 1 and his leap has no damage early. One use of both and he has no mana. 0 mana? Pred can't kill.

I did. I have a problem with what I view as shitty players barking out orders and crying about their own failures whilst at the same time blaming others for their failures.

Oh I agree that she's a great pubstomper, but she feels a lot like BH in that regard.

Great at pubstomping, average to horrible in tryhard games.

I have a problem with shitty posters who post toxic messages in our fun-loving & salt-free thread, but you don't see me engaging in name-calling and immature behaviour. (Oh the irony.)

Oh quiet. Salt free thread? I find that statement to be hilarious. Go back a few pages and then get a physical from your local physician ... I'm sure he'll state that your sodium levels are elevated.

I understand you sticking up for your buddy, but whatever. I'm not being immature. I simply stated why I disliked playing IH games in HoN in the LoL thread.

Sorry the world isn't sunshine and rainbows for everyone.

And I also await the arrival of DotA 2 where epic HoN / LoL player matches will exist. (I play both games pretty evenly).

How much are you offering it for? I'm kinda pinched this month with $$$.

You're on my buddy-list in LoL! We randomly got into a solo queue game together and I recognized the name from GAF ... remember?!?!
