Fuuuudge, I still have so many issues in this game. My initiation is terrible (was in League too, not too surprised by this), I have serious issues keeping up in level most games which can really hinder the team late game. My GPM is never that good, but I think it may be improving a little bit.

Torturer is probably my favorite hero right now. Still trying to get his stun right.

For the record, I saw you land some pretty good stuns that one Tort game you played last night!

Thanks. Last night I was happy with my Torturer play in both wins and losses (save for one game I think). Tonight was just a bad night for me. I still have a tendency to lose sight of my character mid fight too.

Bitching at team mates in a IH game for fun is the epitome of salt.

Just stun timing, learn the delay. The more you use him the better, hes such a good hero.

That's a pretty horrible list for azuki lol.

So next week Ctulhuphant is supposed to be the new free hero...so I assume another new hero will take up Geomancer's spot in the store. Probably the Dryad that Nome has been blogging about?

Speaking of said Dryad, it's another hero with a swap-set of skills like Master of Arms. Nome, what's the logic behind that when she could very well be 2 heroes altogether, since the way I understand it from the blog, you can't itemize her for both of her forms at the same time.

Blog version is horribly outdated. Just too busy to update it.

Meeru posted in a Dota2 thread, or maybe here that the beta was confirmed to start for the general public in the next few weeks. It was planned that they would do a big invite tomorrow, but now its just patch tomorrow and a bunch of small invites to the beta over time.

Cant wait for the plethora of shitty lumberjacks to start popping up, missing taunts, ulting for no damage, and charging some1 all the way to pool.

Behold Ctulhuphant!

Click here for a preview of his model + alternate avatar.

Trample (Q)- Cthulhuphant is a melee tanky initiator, and this ability gets him into the thick of it. He charges forward in a direction, dealing damage and stunning any enemy heroes he connects with. If there are any creeps in his path, they are blasted away like projectiles, also dealing damage and stunning enemy heroes they hit.

Hook 'Em (W)- With Hook 'Em, Cthulhuphant uses his mighty tusks to skewer and immediately kill an enemy non-hero unit. The corpse creates a shield which blocks a large portion of damage coming at Cthulhuphant from the front. Strength of the shield is proportional to the target's max health.

Mortifying Presence (E)- This is a passive aura of fear and madness. Nearby enemy heroes have their attack and movement speeds slowed. When Cthulhuphant kills an enemy unit, the effect doubles for ten seconds. If he kills an enemy hero, the effect triples for ten seconds!

Obliterate (R)- Cthulhuphant draws on all of his awesomeness to fire raw, brutal energy blasts from his many trunks. Obliterate causes five pulses of devastating area of effect damage in front of Cthulhuphant.

Needs more Cthulhu and less Elephant in his abilities IMHO. Buckley's suggested ultimate (see CAD) sounded much more awesome than generic AoE.

I fear for Mortifying Presence. Can be broken, depending on the numbers on it.

question to hon-gaffer!
I boght my account around november/december..
didn't play more than 3-4 match oh well..
now hon has gone free to play and apparently my PAID account (bought the key that is) should have switcheed to legacy, but since i was NOT verified (aka under level 5???) i got "demoted" to basic account, with champion rotation&all o_O
Will i get a legacy account when i hit 5 OR I gotta send some insults to HoN support for I've PAID the game and I'm getting the "F2P" treatment?

Did you buy it from a reseller? Because there was a post a few weeks back, someone found an exploit to make accounts and sold them.

Concord? Sony is ignoring a potentially great free to play multiplayer shooter that they already own, and that game is Destiny 2.
