Is there any tactics you want 2 see more/less of in competitive matches ?
Personally I dont like how trilane is dominating the scene atm and it is alot more fun 2 see kongor kills, and outrageous push strats ;)
Thoughts?

Tri laning is actually not so boring, unless of course both of them are in different lanes.
Personnally, I want to see more agressive tri lanes and 2/2/1 setups, because those 2 usually bring a lot of early action with them. Also, I really like watching soloes going up against each other, because I just find it very intense and all.
EDIT: Lucky me, because it is actually happening right now!
I want to see Legionnaire braking trilane.

Those tactics are about as exciting to watch and play as watching a plant grow. No thanks.

I do agree that Trilanes are bad for the game. It doesn't really promote ganking the way that it should be promoted. A trilane = 2 solo lanes. Playing in a solo lane means you have to outplay/outlasthit the other solo enemy in your lane, which means it is quite difficult to leave the lane to gank, which would lead to them getting an xp/gold advantage over you. This means that it is hard to gank for either of the players in the 2 solo lanes, which means most of the action is geared towards the bot trilane. And really, it's not that fun watching level 2 witch slayers vs a lvl 2 voodoo just walking up and down harassing eachother. It's just lame and not fun. Yes there are lots of kills in a trilane, but it's boring nonetheless.
**** Bot for starting this gay **** or at least promoting it.
I think bringing it back to more of a conventional 212 or a 221 lane would lend towards a more gank-oriented gameplay and 2v2 or 2v1 is much more fun to watch as a spectator than a 3v3 with low levels.
I would like to see more unconventional picks, and I think it's more important in HoN than in DotA due to the small pool of heroes. Yes, I know that picking HB and not picking HB means a win or not, but who cares you win some and lose some. This is a game made for spectators, and showcasing the same 15 heroes every game is just boring. Like Drayich said, Step it up! Where's the Ophelia? Sure she got nerfed but still controlling a creep earlygame is still strong and promotes a lot of ganking/ward play. Tempest, Rhasta, Succubus to name a few strong heroes.
I would like to see more nullfire purchases, cuz imo I think there are instances where a purge is more useful than images.
I'm glad we got away from the 2-3 carry team builds.
I think teams should ban more support heroes like Witch Slayer and Voodoo to change up the way current teams pick.
Maybe one blink dagger per team? What that would be crazy? Only 2 shrunken heads? That would be crazy too.

Can people stop writing stupid **** like this? Open ****ing hero selection screen and count how many heroes aren`t used. I can count at least 45 heroes which are used often in competitive matches.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't trilaning a strategy, not a tactic?
tri-lane sucks,true story.

If the hero is being used 1 game out of 20, that isn't used often. There are perhaps 15-20 herores being used "often" in the current competitive scene, with alot more being viable.

I think I saw a team in a DotA match use 2 roamers, I dunno if this would work very well in HoN but would be fun to see. 3 solo heroes and 2 roamers to set up ganks early.
Though I must admit I've seen this in some trilane games where the trilane-farmer was doing so well that the supports roamed somewhere else to set up a kill, so I guess this has been seen somewhat already. Haha.
Regarding what's fun to watch and not, I think most games are fun to watch unless it's a game without team fights. And most early-game strategies leads to teamfighting at some point of the game.
I guess though that a game with 90min farm and 0 kills with one team fight would probably be pretty boring.

toxic ward is slither's most powerful and flexible skill. to gank, you only need 1 rank of spray and while toxicity does increase your dps for that specific gank, wards are more versatile in the overall game. having the ability to solopush towers (responsibly) is extremely powerful.
What I want to see is more responsible babysitting. If you have a trilane with gladiator voodoo and andro, the 2 supports should sit in the jungle for the opportune moment and not suck up exp.

More pauses at the beginning to discuss how to lane failed picks.
More dodging also. Sit in lobby for 10 minutes, then DC when countdown hits 1.
