I see some people running around with tablets in their inventory, whenever i right click a tablet I immediately use it, how do they do that?

After buying a bottle and using the 3 charges, you can store a tablet in the bottle by clicking the empty bottle then the tablet. Tablet control is often important in the solo mid fight. A tablet spawns randomly at top or bottom every two mintues.

ah thanks :P
Just a note that putting a rune into empty bottle and then using the rune recharges your bottle. Never saw anyone mention this, guess DotA folk consider it a basic.

In dota a bottled rune will automatically activate after i don't exactly remember ... 120 seconds? yesterday I had the feeling this was not the case for HoN (meaning it would last much longer or maybe indefinitly). I'll try to look at it more precisely these days.

The rune lasts indefinetely till you use it.

Forgive a noob here, but what exactly does this do? It's tough figuring out how the items work without a master table of effects & items...

In the middle of the play area, 2 runes/tablets can spawn. They give things live invisibility, 2x damage, and increased speed. Usually when you touch the rune, you get the buff. With the bottle, you can bottle the rune to use at a later time.

Tablets (or the Dota term runes) spawn at 0:00 and at every 2 minutes after this on the gametimer.
They spawn in the river randomnly between 2 different spots.
Either in the middle between top lane and middle lane.
Either in the middle between bottom lane and middle lane.
There is 5 types of Tablets
Tablet of damage - Gives double damage
Tablet of Illusion - Gives 2 illusions of you, dealing 25 or 30% dmg and taking 300% dmg (Im probably wrong on the numbers but its close)
Tablet of Invisibility - You become invisible
Tablet of Haste - You get 522 movespeed (max)
Tablet of Regeneration - Brings your health and mana to full as long as you do not get attacked. (Getting attacked will cancel the effect)
The type of tablet spawning is random.
When clicking on a rune, you get the buff.
A bottle is an item containing 3 charges that refill both Health and mana (I forgot the exact numbers)
There are 2 ways to refill it.
1. Going back to fountain, where it automatically refills
2. Storing a tablet (by clicking the bottle and then the tablet)
Storing a tablet will put it in the bottle, you can use the rune whenever you like, and then you get 3 new charges of hp/ mp regen in your bottle.

Don't forget the regen rune.
Arguably the most useful one for early lane control.

For clarification, you have to LEFT click on your (empty) bottle and then LEFT click again on the rune to store it in the bottle.

Also note that current regen rune mechanics are .59d mechanics
In dota the regen rune wears off once you top off
At the moment (and in old dota) the regen rune remains in effect for its full duration, allowing spell spammage as long as you take no damage.

Also you can press a (attack) then click the rune to destroy it. I did this on accident when my bottle was on the "a" slot (alt+a) but not pressing alt.
Why mention this? idk. Figure it would have a place in this thread. Also maybe in a rate situation you can attack a rune before it gets picked up by the opponent.

Pretty imbalanced I found. Storing a regen rune is like storing a free fountain trip anywhere you like. You could even get your whole team to store Regen runes, and after a massive push/fight, heal the whole team to full HP :S

My brother was telling me about how he was being chased on red HP by a Moon Queen; her Glaive bounced off him onto the Haste rune that he had spotted and planned to use to escape and he died as a result :O
Fix Glaives from bouncing off Pollywog's Wards and Runes please.
