I know you're supposed to be able to block two creep spawns with a single ward, but... Well, see for yourselves:

I can't seem to be able to do it. All those wards only managed to block the lower spawn... Besides, the creep respawns seem to work strangely: I'm 100% sure I've seen creeps respawn while I had line of sight of the camp (Including in this case, since the wards clearly had FOV of the upper spawn).

Am I doing something wrong?

LoS doesn't block spawn.

Only physical units within the spawn box do (corpses, players, mobs, wards).

AFAIK you can't dual block in HoN.

...That explains a lot, of course.

Alright xD

Worked in DotA:

It's just an area called 'spawn box'. If there are units in it, then neutrals don't spawn.

Has nothing to do with sight.

Thanks Ironfisto for this DotA-map:
Shows spawnboxes and pulling / stacking times.

I don't know if there's a map for HoN already.

If you are bot lane (legion) or top (hell) and some1 obs wards blocks your pull - is it (ever)worth couriering out true sight wards to counter and regain the camp/pull ????

Yes. 90% of the time yes.

Be sure not to block your camp with your own ward ( of revelation ), though.
And don't get killed either, they see you destroying the ward. Because it's a ****ing ward :D
