View Full Version : Add dust to the secret/side shops

The shops in bottom and top lanes. Can you add dust into the list of items that are sold there? I never really understood why there seemed to be a bunch of completely random items in there, aside from early game items like regen and teleport.

If it's too big of a hit towards invis heroes then just have a single charge of dust per purchase and set the price on like 140 so it is more expensive per dust to buy it from the side shop.

I think it is pretty dumb that you need to go back to base to get wards or dust losing valuable experience and last hits along with the fact that you have to cough up 200 gold for the items to gank the invis units/keep them under control. You can't really prepare by buying them beforehand because your starting gold isn't something you wanna use on wards and you won't know who you'll be laning against.


Reading comprehension aid:

- 140 gold for a single (1) dust from the secret shop

I don't see why HoN should do this as DotA players never had the need for true sight on side shops.

I doubt DotA players would boycott true sight if it were in the side shops...

I would definitely agree that this would be insanely useful laning against stealth characters - even better, have wards be in the side shops - but i'd kinda have to guess it'd just be too hard on the stealth characters, and they'd move to the middle lane, and then you're just back to using monkey couriers.

Summarized, I'd definitely buy from the side shops if devs wanted to do this, but couriers can do the trick alright.

Why not just remove stealth heroes altogether.

TL;DR buy a courier.

I think it would be too big of a hit against stealth chars. This way it encourages players to prepare

Yes, why don't you totally neuter stealth characters more. Great idea. -_-



Seriously; buy a courier.
