Question : Backdooring

[Defrath]

Lately I have been wondering if in HoN, it is generally known that backdooring is prohibited. I've seen in some clan games that people are often backdooring and nobody has any complaints, although I know in clan play in DotA is it against the rules.

Is backdooring allowed in clan/competitive play in HoN?

Yep.
All major tournaments so far have allowed backdooring

Somebody should be a lfaq (lesser frequently asked questions) so there wont be a gazillion of the same posts. How hard can it be to read the rules of a tournament ?

I laugh my face off every time some wannabe 2000+ pugger cries his face off over backdooring in pugs. What a joke.

I've seen mixed opinions in game and on these forums. Was wondering if I could gather a consensus on the subject.

Some people are too adjusted to the DotA rules, which I can understand. For what reason is backdooring generally accepted in HoN, but not in DotA?

it was only banned by euros in some of the tourneys since they couldn't handle the elements of war and kept crying about people crushing bases. it finally lead to the point of where icefrog implemented a new bd regen mechanism which even still now with that people cry about it rofl.

in the asian scene it's almost universally allowed.

I played dota for years and always backdoored and accepted backdoring as being fine. Whats all this bs about bding not being accepted in dota? You play to win the game. If the mechanics allow it and it isnt a bug, then it is fundamentally accepted in the game. For specific tournaments/leagues, there rules are what matter. But in clan matchez and definitly in pubs, bding is totally accepted in both dota and hon. Anyone who disagrees isjust to lazy or stupid to know the relativley simple counters to the strategy.
