I forgot to put in the OP, that there will be a 15 game minimum in order to qualify for a prize, meaning you need to participate in at least 15 games in the 57 day season.

If you don't meet these requirements then your prize is going to be distributed into the rest of the pool for that tier, or maybe we'll do interesting rewards for achievements, like biggest throw or something?

Not sure if 15 is too high, if we don't play a lot of games, I'll change it.

What happens when you try to participate but just don't get drafted (it's bound to happen when we have 15+ people on consistently). Think for every 3 games that you attempt to join, but don't get drafted you should get 1 "participation game" accrued or something.

This is awesome. This type of ranking/play system makes it SO much easier for me to participate, fuck yeah.
I will be involved.

Also I should probably be average tier. As much as I'd love to be in the scrub tier.



Did someone say iSketch? Ill beat all your asses in an iSketch IHL.

Guesong - Learning Tier


Though tbh I don't feel like I entirely belong there, but I don't entirely belong in Average either so whatever. Moreso in average perhaps? Or do I? Bleargh.

To be truthful, I think I'll do much better in IHL, where there will be a good sort of tryharding from everyone than I do in regular IH, only because team compositions won't be stupid (2 junglers, resulting sending NH solo bottom lane HB vs MB and PuppetMaster with Engineer solo top? awwww yeahhhh), supports will play supports, and last-hitting in a lane will not be a constant competition with your support partner who refuse to ward (hello Magmuspuppet huehuehuehue).

Time will tell.

Sounds good, maybe being in the Learning Tier I'll have a chance to win.

Alternating Picking best be in, otherwise I will have no idea who to pick and then just last second pick Arachna/Moon Queen or something.

I don't think I'll be participating, I don't really have time to play hon on the level I would want (and being so rusty makes playing MM on my main account somewhat impossible), and I really really hate playing on non-EU servers, I've never felt comfortable with high ping limiting my lasthitting / skillshot / microing ability (I'm a big fan of playing multiple unit heroes normally). Playing easier jungle / roaming heroes every game could work, but that'll become really predictable and easy to exploit very fast. I pass.

Best of luck to everyone playing though!

I will gladly play on EU servers if there are 2-3 playing from there.

I'm definitely looking forward to some fun games that are actually less salty than normal games. I've been enjoying cooking and reading a lot recently so I haven't been playing HON as much but this will keep everyone's interest up before the holidays when other stuff will take more of everyone's time.

Wanna hear a good joke? Waste your time helping me! LOL!
I'm in
spectating tier

This all sounds fun, but complicated to maintain. I'll help out if you guys need it (for whatever).

Otherwise, toss me in learning tier. (Also let's not try to shit up this thread too much with back and forth shit talk posts)

It's more so to encourage participation, it will be pretty obvious by the end of the league who isn't participating and who is, similarly to how it was obvious last season.

Id be interested with the 'learning' thing if you need more people. But im in Australia so my play times might not coincide with y'all >.<

if i could suggest alternating player picking used in BP

This way, stacking one team isn't as easy as it may seem and counting on the luck of the roll isn't so important.

So we have a total of 56 prospective participants, not sure if everyone on the list will be playing, I had to assign people that didn't post into where I thought they belonged, if you want a swap let me know here or in game and I'll move you.

Anyway the League Starts Tomorrow, GLHF

to Experienced.

Today I'm lucky enough to be on my desktop. For 90% of IHL games I'll end up playing on my 13" laptop and my crappy mouse (i.e. my already weak map sense drops tremendously and my ability to react with the mouse/last hit drops as well).

I really don't think I'm up there with Loki and them - I just have good games sometimes. Just ask alumnus about my tp carrying skills.
