Heroes of Newerth |OT| Free-To-Play [PC /Mac /Linux]

Anytime I play a game of matchmaking I keep being put into "Blind Ban" when we get the game it says "Mid Wars" we do 3 blind bans and then it's normal All Pick. Interesting bug, actually a fairly fun mode

Fuck Anbokr and his 27 pound gain in 9 weeks

Yo idk I'm just eating a SHIT TON and drinking 2 cups of milk in the morning and at night. Starting sprints to cut down the body fat % though. I think I need to take a week off or some shit though as I really fucked up my right ankle (I keep thinking it's healed and then I just smash it with high, weighted step ups or sprints and it's been getting worse and worse), and my body overall is really tired.

You probably just have an INSANE metabolism swag. Gotta shove more food down bro.

A lot of people can't get that weight.

For various reasons, such as not having enough food.

I just took a week off cause I've had the flu, girls that come to parties sick are the worst, was a bittersweet break from the gym. I also drink a gallon of milk a day, so I really don't know how it's not working. I must have the metabolism of a Kenyan runner.

I miss FA. Dota lacks a strong pushing ranged carry.
Although probably not as good, Luna has her glaives?

Wish Valve would buy the rights to HoN and just port over some of the interesting heroes, Flux, Myrmidon, Empath, Chipper.

On second thought, it would be a terrible business decision for 4 heroes.

I would go down on Maliken and Gabe together to get Gauntlet into Dota.

I also always kinda loved Maliken, Puppet Master and Accursed even though they weren't that good (maybe Scout too for jokes).

Accursed = Abbadon

He's just not in yet, or doesn't exist in Dota anymore. Gauntlet would be quite good, but only if they keep the hero theme the same, and not dotify it.

Oh man, I hope Accursed does appear then. I thought he was pretty unique hero being a sort of heavy support/tank.

Having the El Guantalete luchadore skin too would be the greatest thing in history.

After having DOTA related avatars for forever, switching to a Bayonetta one was incredibly jarring for me Archie.

Imagine if Geomancer had 4 seperate mini geomancers
Would still suck because Chair would not be able to hit that ult, even if he could cast it at 4 different points.

Sorry man. Bayonetta was a top 5 game this gen for me and Nintendo announcing Bayonetta 2 made me stoked. They instantly sold me on a Wii U.

I'm pumped for meepo to get added so scrubs play him and feed me wins.

Also, holy shit at these kirby items. They just aren't getting better, and he doesn't even give us the courtesy of linking them. He forces them on my eyes.

Figured you would've been sold without the need for any reinforcement
That's why I posted it here. Real talk refugees.
There's a few things I can always count on seeing when I skim that thread

- Professional Player dick riding, Wehsing in particular
- Similar questions asked ad nauseam with the same answers every time
- Average screenshots being passed off as God Tier
- Terrible opinions being thrown around with confidence
- Lack of real talk
- Bad Kirby Items

Dota 2 thread going strong as always.

Swag you almost home yet? I've been forced to play League without your throwing to keep me in line.
You could always just play with Euro GAF, would probably be the same thing, except it would never get good.

So I was bored at work today and decided to read this thread, to have a few chuckles, so many amazing posts.

Meeru wedding pics, who would've thought this dude would turn out to be the
Sociopath
we all know and love, also dude's wife is pretty hot.
Wife letting me play an hr a day :D
Beginning of the downward spiral to the wife quits.
The reason for not always using hot-keys is because I have my hands on the arrows keys moving the camera around a lot of the times. I really need to remap the keys so I don't have to move my hands across the keyboard so much.

LAMARCUS - for each poor attempt to stay in character, take a full swig, you're going to need it
Shame the drinking night never happened.

Gafhosues are a nonstop stream of inter- and intra-team shittalking. I was the first two kills in the arachna v nymphora game. You think I heard about it? You bet your ass I did. But instead of taking it personally or making excuses (because no1curr about excuses) I manned the fuck up and came back to crush kids with major damage and three orbs. Truth be told, monkeyking never had a shadow of a hope against shadow shaman. Did we rub it in? you bet your ass we did. But if you get so buttcut when you lose because of the random, maybe you should play a less competitive game. Like solitaire.
The best post Kapura ever made.

I'm only satisfied when I hit 600-700 gpm
i thought we weren't going to see you around when dota2 comes out. make like your HoN and uninstall yourself from this thread.
One of the few posts that Astro made in the thread, but one of the best.
swag plz, the only thing ur good at is talking on the mic saying how farmed the other team is
The only time Meeru ever tried to ether someone in the thread.

Don't worry I'm more than happy to say I'll never give it to you. You condescending prick.

k we seriously need a neki wordfilter that deletes any post he makes that starts with "get" or follows the form "x gonna x"

Yo we can play whatever game we fucking want. We're not going to sit around in hon IH's listening to you bitch nonstop just because you set your night aside to play and are feeding.
funny you talk about keeping noobs separate when you stat reset every time you get close to a bracket with decent players
are u really that buttmad that he didnt circlejerk ur submission
well in that case, he told you why in his fucking post, but if you decided to read it instead of trying to be a sassy bitch maybe you wouldnt come off looking like a buttmad retard
Some of the best BZM Reel Tawk

I won't be on much the next couple weeks due to my work giving me a ton of hours... everyone at my job decided early August to all go on vacation... at the same time.
I'll be back this week to play with you guys, my 'work week' is finally over tomorrow.

And yes my birthday was Friday I'm 20 now.
I'm taking a short road trip up to the mountain for the day, I'll be back around 6pm pacific time.
The MrMr live blogging to let us know when the next time everyone can dodge him would be.

I know I'm not HON-Gaf but I like browsing this thread from time to time to see what you guys talk about. MrMister, honest question: What turns you off of Dota 2? I played very briefly with you and never got the chance to get to know you outside of a few lines in mumble. Any of the other pure HoN players like Swiftlame can answer too. I'm seriously just curious, no judgements attached. I ask because I'd love to see better players start joining in GAF games to help raise the skill level.

So. Anything specifically holding you guys back from Dota 2? You guys think you're ever going to transition over?
The final dagger from Milk that killed the thread.

And the amazing iSketch moments.

I feel like such an asshole now :/

I gotta say, if it weren't for all the shit you guys put up with me learning HoN and improving with playing and queueing with you guys constantly over the course of March 2011 - March 2012 I wouldn't be the decent player I am today. So thanks.

From what I've seen the training is really paying off against dem bots.

Bots are superior to humans in almost all regards, whether it comes to last hitting, denying, coordination and team fights. They're the epitome of DotA. There is also 100% less trash talking from bots.

Hey those bots know how to gank and push better than the average solo queue MM players. ;P
EDIT: What Ultimoo said.

I just don't have the brass to solo queue, I do in HoN but for some reason I'm still afraid to dip my toes in DOTA 2 MM.
