Enjoy! :3

[Tooklak]

why!

[Kripke]

Very nice job! Thanks for the early spotlight.

[Cyber_Kun]

It looks like an old engineer.

[SolarFlare22]

Yay!

This hero looks fantastic.

EDIT: 6:00-6:02 there's an animation playing that looks like a demon-hand "rocking out" and you can hear music in the backround. Could that be the bard type hero that Diva mentioned?

[CabezaDeBolo]

Looks nice. Team gun: enginer, flint boombstick and this guy

[Juicenewton]

+1 for more beards

edit: holy **** this hero looks awesome, with savage mace he will absolutely tear through people. also, that ending was epic ^_^

[Coheed]

nom nom

[Vetschtable]

Pumping out heroes so people will pay for early access. Nothx. DO NOT PAY FOR EARLY ACCESS PEOPLE!!

[Kimchi]

Another hero already?

Madness i say

[Mulberry]

YAY!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/liquor/HoNthing.jpg

[foxmindedguy]

Flint + Andromeda + Gragas + Shen + Scout/Silhouette etc. When's the nerf/rework?

BTW HON, Shen ultimate was hated by all of LOL, it was toned down soooooo much. Why would you repeat history's mistakes?

Yay for hellbringer skin though.

[Nyandex]

Lovely music.

I WANT THAT BANJO RENDITION OF MK AT THE END.

[Brohemoth]

I assume this is the EA hero

[XxmagiksxX]

That intro music clashed with the video imhbcao
Hero - looks interesting, but we need MELEE agi carries not more ranged ones

another dwarf with a gun, how creative

looks overpowered

[Menzo]

In before Early Access hero

[fizhfood]

GG s2 I love the lastest heroes such as... EW,MK and well.. not so much DM but this hero will bring back the old flavor of engineers turrent x)

[jamiejame911]

Looks to be very good.

[Corpsy]

I liked it.

[CabezaDeBolo]

Malphas Kombat!! hahaha

[john4014]

Looks really fun and tricky to use

[Pieces]

Looks way too imba.

Not every hero needs to have multiple toggles. Also, ranged carries should not have storm bolt (and don't say Andromeda...).

[Kaee]

Edit: Andromeda, for the post above mine

cool <3

[Frewbags]

holy snot buckets

[Blazehero]

Flint Beastwood's rival?

[Peeley]

5.15?

[Neurofo]

Deadwood rework? alot of DW in that vid

[d4nz]

Character doesn't feel like he fits at all in the game. =/

[WindRaven]

This was disappointing, honestly.

He has too many abilities, no apparant theme, no role, too much complexity and yet not enough intricacy.

Can we get back to the simple and elegant yet incredibly deep heroes please? Those ones are the best, for both casual and competitive crowd.

[Khaoz]

Early Access.

[Vanguardian]

looks OP as ****

[GrosFif]

Malphas combat custom map anyone?

Make it happen s2!

[Villith]

Looks like a new tri-lane carry

[RUSty_]

we didnt learn from engi turret did we?

[Ezzik]

looks stupid. ult is another no brainer skill, doesnt fit in the game ANYWHERE. who are u? Cable from Xmen?

[`Leo]

AWESOME, best intro S2 ever done.

[Amof13]

This 10000000000000x over, so tired of skill shot blah blah blah 7 abiltys on one hero, yet heros like :hamm: only have 3 abiltys and are pick up all the time. Adding more skills doesn't always add depth. It feels like were stuck between heros like master of arms and auto-pilot heros like warden.

[incuGuS]

6:00 Alt avatar for Soulstealer doing a custom animation of hands. fk yeah, demon rocking hands!

[Time2Play]

Omg, amazing!

[Varro]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK6S77gaFZU&feature=player_detailpage#t=314s

WHat hero is coming in there, invis, and when dies leaves a statue?!

[Jingo_Joe]

S2, any word on if this is the EA hero or not?

[RickJamesB_]

4th page?

[MrShakur]

Looks very overpowered. The machine gun ability will cause raging.

[KleinAberOho]

Ultimate looks ridiculous.

[ItsJocke]

Invoker is fine I heard.

[it]

P2W. Aside from that, looks like a lot of fun. It definitely looks like the old engineer turret should come back if they're going to allow this.

[Kzod]

Flint + Andromeda + Gragas + Shen + Scout/Silhouette etc. When's the nerf/rework?

BTW HON, Shen ultimate was hated by all of LOL, it was toned down soooooo much. Why would you repeat history's mistakes?

Yay for hellbringer skin though.
words can not describe how retarded you are

rofl at everyone saying he's overpowered from what you saw on a video

[papi6996]

do you remember the old engi turret? so OP -_-

[DoomGrip]

wait wait wait. So he has an AOE dot, armor reduction, global attack speed and movement, global INVINCIBILE SHIELD, a direct damage stun/nuke, an Aoe nuke, a knockback nuke, increased attack damage or attack speed,

Just on paper. The only hero I can think of he doesnt have just as much utility over is emerald warden.

I won't say he's OP until he's released, but WTF. I have always been against carrys having direct damage target stun/nukes. Andromeda being the only exception (she's played as support). When you give direct damage stuns/nukes to carries you give them a huge boost in terms of primary utility. Also scary good at initation in terms of ganks. 1-1 mid with master of arms. You initate your stun, buddy comes and throws weed field and carp - GG mid. Most of the other range carrys in the game in - have skill shot stuns or slows. Thus putting more effort into skill instead of easy mode clicking.

[skudoops]

Is that hellbringer/malaphus skin coming into the game?

[Halte]

can we play him? or EA?

words can not describe how retarded you are

rofl at everyone saying he's overpowered from what you saw on a video

Just his rapid alone shows you how powerful he is. Just put a charged hammer on him and maybe nullfire blade and see him wreck faces.

As for your statement on my sanity, I have been right about previous balancing statuses of heroes like Myrmidon, Dampeer, RA etc. I have a handle on things and I think I do know how to critically analyze situations.

You are right that I am jumping the trigger by just looking at the video but if you read my statement clearly. I said he is broken by design, the numbers on his skills should be low to compensate for his broken design.

[Pogona]

This was disappointing, honestly.

He has too many abilities, no apparant theme, no role, too much complexity and yet not enough intricacy.

Don't be silly. His role is obviously pubstomping.

If this guy isn't early access he's gonna be first picked EVERY ****IN GAME.

Inb4 endless games featuring master at arms vs flint beastwood solo mid showdowns.

[Anizer]

Overpowered.

[NitroS]

U nerds raging i earn $25 dollars an hour, so 1 hour pay pays for 8 early access heroes (lmfao bankrupt americas trash exchange rate) while you spend several hours on the forums complaining instead of going and doing a paper run and earning the 3 dollars it costs.

Invoker can do much extremely much in theory. Doesn't mean he is extremely imbalanced by any means. It is all about numbers, the concepts of the skills seems fine. Nothing stupid like 9 sec disable on a carry. :pupp:

[Launders]

Another stupid ranged agility hero. Hooray for originality. And no offense S2, it'd be nice if you put "available for early access" instead of available Friday. (cough cough monkey king)

[KleinAberOho]

His knockback also seems like another '**** you' to melee carries.

[FORUMACCOUNT]

He actually isn't OP for the people whining. And for the people whining about him having a Shen ult; it shields nowhere near as much as Shen's did, nor does it TP him to his ally, nor does he have Shen's skillset to stop ganks like he did. What made engies turret so powerful was the fact it wasn't a hero, you couldn't stun it. The only option was to focus it down via auto attacks, and even after you killed it he could spawn a new one unless you killed engie himself. MoA can be stunned and held down, and he also has a 50 percent bonus damage reduction, meaning he does no actual damage himself, but relies on lucky procs which don't do that much more damage vs. his extra range and 32 percent bonus damage on blue.

[vanderski]

Seems to me like yet another disappointing hero addition. Quite frankly, the last few hero designs have been lackluster to say the least. Perhaps i'll have a better view when I get to try this hero out in a months time.

As long as you put the spin 'ability to play before the hero is released' on it and feel good about it, then good for you.

[Pogona]

bankrupt americas

Had to address this one. The rest of your post was pretty irrelevant to me.

So the United States, which I'm sure is what you meant, is going through some moderate financial trouble at the moment. Really nothing we haven't seen before, or can't handle if our politicians stop dicking around and actually work together.

Meanwhile, the entire Eurozone is shitting bricks over Greece and Italy. Not to mention a few others. That's a borderline crisis over there.

This has been your friendly neighborhood reality check. Peace out.

[Grigden]

terrible version ofthat mortal combat: annihilation theme, but the hero looks like it will cause even more ignorant *****ing than normal new heros, so good job

[iJusti]

this hero gonna be so fun to see what kind of combos go on. chain lightning annihilation cant wait lol

[z3rocool]

so basically a hero with 6 skills and 2 different auto attacks... something needs to be changed, that **** is way too complex

[Sapheron]

Hes probably gonna be like Ra.

Pretty good skills, absolute **** stats.

[WetMistress]

i look forward to playing this hero in 2 months.

...****...

[Metalelf]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK6S77gaFZU&feature=youtu.be&t=6m5s this is what I love about S2.

[alako1]

if this is early access i will either shoot myself, or take up LoL (Please Don't make me)

[jeezle]

he looks fun as **** not gonna lie.

[SCheeto]

want banjo mk theme please

[Mulberry]

Wtf is that red demon thing by Monkey King @ 6m? I realize it could be something from Balphagore but I don't hear "HELL ON NEWERTH"

http://youtu.be/wK6S77gaFZU?t=6m

[TheOtherOne]

his ult kind of seems like "hey we had this cool idea for an ult, go ahead and put it on whatever hero is coming out next"

[Red``]

looks stupid. ult is another no brainer skill, doesnt fit in the game ANYWHERE. who are u? Cable from Xmen?

Seriously, this "hero" has no place in Newerth.

Stop appealing to FPS crowd :(

This is so sad S2, so sad :(

[KleinAberOho]

Most likely alt avatar for Soulstealer and that was one of his hands.

[Uncleniceman]

You guys should fire both Diva and Dogkaizer, and kick out your whole SBT team. Your latest hero designs have been bad, and either underpowered or severely overpowered, and I will assume this one will fall into the latter category. Let me guess, this is the EA hero - right? 8 more days to gamescom, rip hon.

[rancewong]

Very OP on the video. Range carry with easy stun/push + -armor/slow + global atk/def ult. I can smell there will be instant pick every game like Ra release.

Congratulations S2! You finally earn your EA $$$ starting this Fri. (but not from my pocket)

So can we consider remake flint now?

[NQ_QB]

Cool hero and all, but lets see what his abilities can do. A stun(as a ranged DPS/carry), an aoe nuke(the split arrow), a push back, an aoe degen that gives -armor, a Passive burst,and a world wide ulti that gives protection or speed boost. He better ****ing start with 300HP and 0.5 armor and 150SP and 200 movement speed trololol v.v
May I say, are you guys out your ****ing mind? Might just name him The Superman

[iJosephKony]

no more agil or int heros, make a good str hero like a str carry/ganker or sumthing badass

[john4014]

Let me see you use him and dominate. Post a thread about it after, then we'll talk. :monk: Just wait for his release.

[Cord]

stop whining that Snake Pliskin doesn't fit in HoN. He looks fun as ****.

[Dantarios]

I will be really happy to see this new Early Access hero... /sarcams

[Yinn]

Oh... a walking turret

[BattleHungeR]

awesome!

[Bloodaxe]

Needs more daka daka

Seriously, that's ork weapon right there

[SlapDash]

Seems OP, bet hes the EA hero lol.

[Colinthetank]

Is he going to be an EA released hero?

[DarkStylaZz]

looks quite badass and OP, 8 skills? thats just mad!, cant wait to play him!

[donaldtroll]

OP = EA?

[Ceriss]

It looks like you owerlooked very small thing that for the whole video he is not targeted by anyone untill the end of video, where you can clearly see that he is simply killed by about 4 autoattacks.

[Bordillo]

looks awesome can't wait 2 months to play it

[Hsssh]

Flint + Andromeda + Gragas + Shen + Scout/Silhouette etc. When's the nerf/rework?

BTW HON, Shen ultimate was hated by all of LOL, it was toned down soooooo much. Why would you repeat history's mistakes?

Yay for hellbringer skin though.

Problem with Shen was that he could be on another side of the map doing "split pushing" while his team tries to initiate 4vs5 fight, when fight starts he shields one of his teammates and teleports to him with the same skill and as a result Shen`s team got tower from his split pushing and had no disadvantage in team fight. Damage negation for teammate was never main problem with him, teleport was.

[GlemSom]

I sure don't hope S2 are releasing this hero, before fixing all the major bugs in this game!
S2... Get your priorities straight!

[Lolo]

I hope this is EA so only I can have it buhahahahaha

[rancewong]

I sure don't hope S2 are releasing this hero, before fixing all the major bugs in this game!

^THIS

[NQ_QB]

Thats why I said, he better have crappy starting stats and crappy stats gain, otherwise, OP.

[Lolo]

S2... Get your priorities straight!
you are so retardet my friend...dunno how many times they sayd that the hero creation is a difrent team then the servers issues team

[Naxemal]

He reminds me way too much of Maliken when using blue gun.

http://img833.imageshack.us/img833/9215/bobscout.jpg

[tarosh]

Orlay Access. 'nuff said.

[HeLLgEiST]

looks fun, wonder what his base range and his mana costs are gonna be. Looks like he's a nuker carry turned hard carry late game after riftshards and savage. I guess it all depends on how well he can farm.

[RejjeN]

At 2:48 he gets shielded by Accursed... but Accursed is nowhere in sight (point him out of I was just being blind and stupid), buff to the cast range of the shield or was he just barely out of sight?

[jpdark420]

This character looks sick and I can't wait to play him!

[Dacaj]

looks nice cant wait to try him out in a month unless dota2 beta has started by then

[Taiya]

quit cramming every possible mechanic you can think of into 1 hero just so you can make more money on EA. All the older heroes are being stuck on the backburner for these overly complicated heroes.

[Wootshi]

Disappointed on absence of soundbloggan

[Wolfi]

Moar dwarfs! One more dwarf hero and we got team dwarf!

Awesome hero btw.

[Ripoff]

Seems like a rather fun hero to play. Put him + Engi in a lane, they fit rather well + its a babysitter and carry. Its boomstick time!

[Valy]

Good job. Also, trolls and complainers, you don't have anything better to do ? I wonder how can you sleep at night with all this **** in your brains. You just can not accept stuff you don't agree with? Wake up, no one is obliged to care for your complains. It's doing no good, neither to us, old players, to new players or the S2 Staff.

Looking forward to this hero - let's hope it doesn't come in 30+ days.

[vanGeierson]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK6S77gaFZU&feature=player_detailpage#t=314s

WHat hero is coming in there, invis, and when dies leaves a statue?!

Thats Monkey King. LOL.

[revan_xp]

Can't say anything till i see it in action but an hero with so much skills seems OP.
I mean it has pretty much everything from aoe damage to armor reduction to escape mechanism

[ZipperBear]

I sense another hero that can be dominated by a vindicator... Possible resurgence?

[Pay]

the ending was soo damn epic :D
loved it <3

[MaximB]

Seems extremely OP, needs a nerf before release.

[Testingrani]

Thanks MsPudding!

Hope less and less people (with Legacy accounts) will pay for early access.

[RedZone`]

I see.
So the hellbringer alt will also feature a stronger ultimate...
It has begun...

[FattyPatty]

I see.
So the hellbringer alt will also feature a stronger ultimate...
It has begun...
Yea! The new fire one will also be able to cast pyro's spells and the green one will cast slither spells.... don't be dull.

[Recupel]

Awesome

[Dordanov]

Awesome work on the very early spotlight, I like it. Also the quality of the spotlights is top-notch, especially scripting and soundwise. Awesome intro like he is some 80's action movie hero :)

Regarding the hero itself: Holy ****, can you put more utility on 1 hero? Slows, nukes, stuns, attack speed buffs. Don't overcomplicate heroes because it seems a cool idea to add more stuff to a hero.
This also seems like an extremely strong hero if you get something like a Savage Mace or Nullfire Blade on him, and then he will just slow / stun / -armor on top of that.

Yeah, I smell a new Early Access hero coming up.

[yug_modnar]

i wonder what the second hero will be

[Vitae]

Too many skills on one hero. This hero will be ****ing OP and so hard to balance.

GG S2. Take a look at DotA. Plenty of cool heroes and they only have 4 skills. learn something from them.

Buttmad american detected.

[Jeroz]

this design is too fun to not to be an EA.

with all those utility packed into him, MoA seem to lack a significant mobility escape skill other than the 5s buff from ulti (with who knows how long the cd is).

[Harakesh]

Looks kinda fun to play, rather complex but that will create a natural selection of people just playing poorly with him and people that dominate, he's gonna be my new favourite I think after Flint.

[Gogul]

Very nice job! Thanks for the early spotlight.

early spotlight for another early access hero i guess ... this time i bet it's 6 months

[Nafty]

Looks kinda fun to play, rather complex but that will create a natural selection of people just playing poorly with him and people that dominate, he's gonna be my new favourite I think after Flint.

Because Flint is so very complex with his AoE slow/nuke, auto-attacks, finisher ulti.

[NG_Beholder]

The only hero with comparable amount of mechanisms is Ra, but he is melee and almost all he has is unreliable.
Master of Arms is a ranged carry with...
- targeted stun;
- targeted knockback;
- AoE DoT;
- AoE nuke;
- slow;
- armor reduction;
- additional range;
- additional auto-attack damage;
- two kinds of additional attack speed;
- additional movement speed;
- additional cast speed;
- damage shield.
Honestly, I'm surprised that he doesn't have a blink/escape mechanism of some kind. Forget about Flint, Silhouette, Puppet Master etc - here comes the new King.

[Ceriss]

GG S2. Take a look at DotA. Plenty of cool heroes and they only have 4 skills. learn something from them.

Invoker has about 14 skills

[HonStinks]

Ah yes, the perfect EA hero. Shove 20 different mechanics into a ranged agility carry and slap a 500 gold coin price tag on it for a month, then when the EA month is up, nerf into oblivion.


EDIT:

Why are you doing the "REMEMBER TO COMMENT, RATE AND SUB" plea for popularity at the end? A real class act. If people like the video, or the channel for that matter, they are gonna rate it something, they are going to subscribe and they are going to leave comments.

[NaNNy`]

**** the EA!

[Harakesh]

Because Flint is so very complex with his AoE slow/nuke, auto-attacks, finisher ulti.

No but he is a dominating ranged carry with a gun + with his alt skin (sharpshooter) he could be brothers with Masters of Arms.

[Gatzolos]

At DM's or MK's spotlights (both were came at same day,1st in the morning and the other in the afternoon), there was a new hero having a purple aura...so in my prediction we will have one more spotlight today!!!Lets see then.... :noma:

[Ceriss]

first spotlight at tuesday, second at thursday, patch friday

[Gatzolos]

first spotlight at tuesday, second at thursday, patch friday

Indeed, then we w8 for the 2nd hero spotlight at Thursday!!! Probably MoA will be EA :(

[Dyzfunkshun]

While I do try my best not to be closed minded until I actually get to play a hero and play against him, I am rather worried about this hero. I cannot possibly see this hero being balanced properly, OP or UP it's impossible to say at this point, but it's simply just trying to do waaaaaaay too much with one hero. Gonna be so so difficult to balance this one effectively, when you essentially have 8 abilities to try and adjust properly.

Also am I the only one starting to get a bit sick of these ability modifier skills? Flux, Aluna, Drunken Master, (Revenant and Dampeer too, albiet admittedly to a lesser extent) and now this, all have skills to buff up or entirely change their other skills. This is not how to give skills synergy (well it is, but in a very narrow minded uncreative way). You need to make the skills subtly work effectively together, not directly make your skills alter one another to make them work together. Doctor Repulsor and Bubbles are both good examples of well designed heroes whose skills synergise really well together. This whole design philosophy feels very lazy...

[Kudryavka]

Ranged agility carry with a stun. Here comes the next Silhouette.

Though, to be honest, he's probably not going to be nearly that broken, since at the very least he doesn't have an escape mechanism.

[Dyzfunkshun]

Though, to be honest, he's probably not going to be nearly that broken, since at the very least he doesn't have an escape mechanism.
He has a push away, a stun, and a damage absorption, think he's got that base rather well covered.

[Tomy]

BIG GJ S2 this will be AWESOME

[qazqazqaz]

Thank you S2.

[See_Ya]

Green malphas... great jon s2

Just a think i wrong...this hero seems 2 hard because of his multiple skill uses
as the monkqy king is 2 hard too! :S

[Shinnuki]

Reminds me of metal slug for some reason :P

[Sillyboy]

I see.
So the hellbringer alt will also feature a stronger ultimate...
It has begun...
hahaha i love this

i would laugh so hard if it were true, GOLD COINS ONLY HELLBRINGER ALT, NOW WITH IMPROVED ULTI!

[TaroEld]

Give him moar skills. Looks like VERY hard to balance.

[m_or]

Doesn't anyone see the problem with giving a ranged carry so much utility? Silo is still a pain to play against and she was heavily nerfed.

[Gurglak]

yeah very ''fragile'' with burstdamage HAHAHAAHHAHA his ulti used defensively and the fast weapon with a thunderclaw ( wich is relatively cheap ) = gg

This hero is like written by Queen.

So many (contradicting) ideas put into one song which sounds awful to my ears. (can't stand inconsistentcy in songs)

Please try to invent some new mechanics and abilities and don't just slap 2-3 on one skill.
Puppet Master was a good example, his 2 disables are kind of unique.
Or take TDLs ultimate, invent skills that alters the players perception of the game. (let a hero throw a drug cocktail which adds a miss chance and additionally make the screen change colors in rapid succession, a feast for our epileptic players)

[IsmaelVera]

I don't think you understand the value of a dollar.Which i suppose is both good and bad

No, you're just poor and mad. Poor and mad.
:balp:

[IgiveFeedToU]

I rly love the skin to Hellbringer!
My favorit hero finally get some love !:*
I must use it on saturday in the tournament:D

[SeriousCat]

I bet this hero will be early access.

Who cares, I don't even play this game.

[eatyoualive]

to much skills,freaking me out =P
but i like the green malph

[Whakapapa]

he should be named; Gunslinger, rather than Master of Arms..

[pekay]

I like the music on these last spotlights.
The only thing missing is a few extra words at the end with the "Available on Friday, for cash!" phrase or something. o:

[sexsub]

How broken is this hero?

[CofCof]

This hero really looks awesomeeee

[Quent1n]

One or two hero will be released this week?

[yug_modnar]

One or two hero will be released this week?

have to be two this time
since S2 said legacy players will always get a new hero every 2 weeks.

next time it will be the monkey king, 2 weeks after that the master of arms. but today its gonna be some additional hero, probably the bard chick/dude

[Skyve]

One or two hero will be released this week?

Two, one EA, one normal. And S2 has hinted that after that, there will only be EA heroes, but it's not like that's set in stone.

[Emmerik]

so this new guy had 8 spells? that sounds pretty balanced

[Unwoven]

nerf incomming.

[Baerling]

Please can someone tell me to song in the outro? when its hb vs hb =) thanks!

[Skyve]

Please can someone tell me to song in the outro? when its hb vs hb =) thanks!

How about you try to watch the video to the end?

[AlkasH_BeasT]

Now then - that HB re-skin made me totally wild, cant wait to get it, even though it might be gold coins only.

P.s. Hero looks sweet too!

P.s.s. I've been mad as **** about $2 myself so far, but you, small sons, actually think that the hero will have mana to use all his spells at once? You people are making me feel horrible for being on your side... Go die somewhere, $2 is doing great so far.

[Baerling]

How about you try to watch the video to the end?

sry only listening, busy playing

edit: also that is how u get out of the 1600's m8

[ringmig]

this hero looks 100% overpowered. not even fun to look at.

[rndmz]

Looks rather complex like

invoker+quake marine ( quakecon coincidence :D ?)

Anyways: having 8 skills at your disposal seems more then twice the average HoN player can handle so I expect his win-rate to be low.

[GlassShadow]

Way too versatile :/

[Vunne]

I see.
So the hellbringer alt will also feature a stronger ultimate...
It has begun...

:D
:monk:

[RaViJ]

I just don't like how he has all these futuristic weapons... Concept and skills are interesting though. I do see him having a lot of appearances in HoNtages.

[IMMvp]

gold coins :(

[Avunaos]

engineer 2.0

[Quenjy]

Looks op as hell.

But np, we are used to op new heroes anyway...

[Cassiopeiae]

Nice :)

[Luuui]

Pumping out heroes so people will pay for early access. Nothx. DO NOT PAY FOR EARLY ACCESS PEOPLE!!

gtfo as fast as u can pls!

[Baerling]

Nobody who knows the song of the outro when the HB's are dueling =(( ?

[ElPolacco]

YAY!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/liquor/HoNthing.jpg

looks like new taunt.

[Belmondo]

looks broken as **** (if ranged carries were not op anyway)

atleast HB alt is a welcome addition

[Belmondo]

Nobody who knows the song of the outro when the HB's are dueling =(( ?

sounded like remix/rework of Mortal Kombat theme

[Kasma]

Remember guys, when your playing against a master at arms and he saves his teammate with a GLOBAL SHIELD, he did NOT pay for power. What a joke.

[Hsssh]

EDIT:

Why are you doing the "REMEMBER TO COMMENT, RATE AND SUB" plea for popularity at the end? A real class act. If people like the video, or the channel for that matter, they are gonna rate it something, they are going to subscribe and they are going to leave comments.

Thats standart practice for making YouTube videos, could you be less butthurt?

More analysis on the new hero, including written skill descriptions and suggested items.

[Keris]

those skill, 3 linear lazor...Remind me of the old contra game

[Shostakovich]

We don't need yet another dwarf with a gun.

[SeriousCat]

If this hero is released as EA hero, then S2 will be selling power, for sure. Looks super OP.

Let's face it, Master of arms will be an early access hero. No doubt.

[Yagari_]

1/10 because of HB at the end.

[CaveJohnson]

Pros: Ranged, stun, slow, knockback, potential multi target nukes, attack speed/damage self boost, global MS/CS boost, global shield.

Cons: Squishy.

Either oversold or OP. Just saying.

[TENGILTROSA]

so basically a hero with 6 skills and 2 different auto attacks... something needs to be changed, that **** is way too complex

This is the reason I already love this hero, some ppl actually thinks something like a hero with 6 skills is too "complex". Gonna enjoy to see him fail in pubs haha...

[Rooobin]

I really love all the spotlights endings they are so epic but this one was totally awesome great work!

[Work4TheMan]

looks fun.

[TENGILTROSA]

Too many skills on one hero. This hero will be ****ing OP and so hard to balance.

GG S2. Take a look at DotA. Plenty of cool heroes and they only have 4 skills. learn something from them.

There are plenty of heroes in HoN with 4 skills too, it's hilarious to see all these butthurt ppl that somehow can't handle more then 4 skills on 1 hero...

I think this Hero will be very OP in the right hands, not so much in the wrong hands...

[Santa]

OP as hell and of course it will be early access.

[Onkelffs]

Character doesn't feel like he fits at all in the game. =/

Yeah! He fits nowhere along with Flint Beastwood, Engineer, Flux, Electrician, Chipper etc.

[BlackDrag]

Haven't seen anything more retarded since old engineer turret. Ranged agi carry that has burstfire, stun, -armor to go along with the balanced bulwark, skill for kiting melee heroes without any need for frostwolf skull, global shield and buffs. Don't even have to doubt if its EA or not.

[Seatbelt]

Hellbringer win !

[Ceriss]

and this hero will get owned by any stun

[BlackDrag]

and this hero will get owned by any stun
"Just CC him" is not a real argument, CC counters entire hero pool.

[UrienRakarth]

From behind he looks like blue-sword Maliken

[pakoito]

Pros: Ranged, stun, slow, knockback, potential multi target nukes, attack speed/damage self boost, global MS/CS boost, global shield.

Cons: Squishy.

Either oversold or OP. Just saying.
Cons: mana for just one cast of each skill per teambattle.

[W1nch3st35]

free rank wtf ?

oh and fix record servers plox ?

[Yashasa]

Woot? o.o
1# Is a dmg and stun or push skill is good for carrys and suport
2# Is a dmg skill that slow or reduces armor good for carrys and suport
3# Is just for carrys
4# Is a ****ing suport skill

what the heck is wrong with you make a good hero then you put a ****ing suport skill as ulti wtf O.o

[Good_Apollo]

HoN's Furion? Looks incredibly OP. Ive said that for only two heroes: Sillouette and Martyr.

[Reldnahc]

Ehhh, really hate the concept. Only ability I truly like is mag gun quick shots.

[See_Ya]

Another shity ulti!!!!

[Rkey]

I didn't come here for the hero, I wanna see the rageposts XD

[RaViJ]

Awesome another DotA reference alternate avatar! :D Took me a while to notice it resembled Warlock.

[Onkelffs]

we didnt learn from engi turret did we?

Engi turret strapped on the user with reload time? Seems better afaik.

[cg_drawchat0]

Just another "throw as much stuff as possibly into one ability/hero". So he is a carry with support? Ridicolous...I gonna stick with Madman as carry and with Demented as Support.

[Rkey]

And a thought: This "make the most out of 4 activation buttons and spells" is really cool if you ask me, I'm usually around 160-180 apm and I want to press more buttons. Thing is, a rework to some older heroes (now that DotA2 is coming) adding this concept to them as well would be really cool. Previously mentioned was heroes like hammerstorm, and I'd like to mention Vindicator here as well. For example, giving vindicator some form of activation on his aura would be fun.

[Potrice]

I love how his "blue" ult is like 100x times better than electrician's ult...and this guy looks ridiculous...a range carry WITH A STUN? Hello they nerfed Madman's Barrel Roll and hes a MELEE. And how come this hero can excel at everything? A pusher, a carry and a support...inc nerf bat HARD.

Well, I gotta thank god that you are not in the S2 balance team.
Also: Who gives a **** on APM. 80% of your APM is useless clicking and im very sure that ur effective APM is around 80.

[Clarry]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK6S77gaFZU&feature=player_detailpage#t=314s

WHat hero is coming in there, invis, and when dies leaves a statue?!

That was :monk:...

[TENGILTROSA]

I had ~150 APM in sc2 and I agree with him, more buttons more fun (for me atleast, adds more depth to the hero).

[Spectre]

Ugh this hero seems like a nightmare to play. I hate stances (old Fayde or current Flux) and I really hate heroes with tons of buttons to press. Otherwise he looks quite overpowered for people who can use all his abilities and stances properly. Too bad that won't be me :(

[Rawen]

YAY!!!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v228/liquor/HoNthing.jpg
its taunted Glacius :glac::glac::glac::glac::glac: :)

[Zechez]

If you watch the video, you can see how this red hero is moving the same as voodoo jester is when channeling his ultimate. Though I can't spot any orbs of damge, I'd say this is DEFINITELY a voodoo jester alt avatar. Really cool :).

[cg_drawchat0]

I had ~150 APM in sc2 and I agree with him, more buttons more fun (for me atleast, adds more depth to the hero).

But this game is not Sc2. Starcraft has absolutely no connections to HoN. It's like sayin' : "Hey in Diablo3 I want to have many units to control at the same time, because in Sc2 it is very fun to micro."

[Serasboy]

Too many skills on one hero. This hero will be ****ing OP and so hard to balance.

GG S2. Take a look at DotA. Plenty of cool heroes and they only have 4 skills. learn something from them.

inVOKER????

pwned

[_Itachi_]

Thumb up for the new Hellbringer skin!

[TENGILTROSA]

But this game is not Sc2. Starcraft has absolutely no connections to HoN. It's like sayin' : "Hey in Diablo3 I want to have many units to control at the same time, because in Sc2 it is very fun to micro."

I never said SC2 was similiar to HoN, I said I can handle an effective APM of 150, wether that's in SC2 or HoN is irrelevant, there's no such thing as "clicking apm" (you can spam switch between your control groups in the start but your average apm still evens out in the end) in SC2, thus it's just "effective apm" in sc2 if you know what I mean, basically I have 150 EFFECTIVE APM.

Most 4 skill heroes in HoN require far less then 100 apm, a hero like this obviously requires more which in my opinion is more fun to play.

Get it?

[TENGILTROSA]

double post -.-

[Ekamo]

INVOKER IS FINE.

Why can't this hero be?

[zunaguli]

so? tell me again in one month ty

Get it?
Yes, you can handle 150eAPM, so what now? Because I can handle high APM it doesn't mean every game I play should gear up to high eAPM requirements. Im a Sc2 player by myself and my eAPM is around 180 even tho my normal APM is 220. But that doesn't change the fact that HoN is a low APM game. You can play decent with 80 APM. Even the Pros are around 100-120 apm in HoN. Don't compare APMs from high APM-games with low APM-games.

[Gizzleby]

inVOKER????

pwned

That's one hero which is unique in the fact that he does not level up his skills directly. So without stats he has to choose carefully which of the three Orbs he wants to prioritise. A hero like this Gunmaster will have his 8 normal skills maxed by 14 (excluding the last level of ultimate) to wreck havoc. Invoker around this level will have 3 to 4 skills pretty much maxed, another 3 to 4 at best at half power and the rest weak as ****. It's easy to say, yeah he has 10 skills, but you cannot have all of them maxed at a time any other hero would have maxed out with the exception of stats. Add in Invoke time and relatively long cds on each skill and you have enough drawbacks to the power of such a hero. Invoker is increadibly strong not because of his ten skills which he throw out one after another but because of the flexiblity that comes with this amount of skills and the possibility to prioritise different orbs every other game. Again, the drawback of these many skills is you will have all of them maxed only at level 25. The gunmaster thingy is maxed at 16 (or even 14). That may be the main concern about this hero.

[Smyd]

Except that he has shared cooldowns for all skills - so he can still only use 3 active skills at any given time. GG

[VaniLLa`Ace]

it feels like s2 makes the heros more and more complex now since only 1% of the players can play those.

[ArnoldRimmer]

I'm sorry, no.

This hero looks just SILLY. The **** Dogkaiser? The ****.

Make him INT and we'll talk.

[polynom]

Invoker is fine I heard.

You can't compare Invoker with this ****.

[Skyve]

Tiki God Voodoo Jester? :D

[Gorescream]

Reminds me of Savage 2 weapons, good.

[IMMvp]

Why do people talk about this hero as if he can use all his skills at the same time, and none of them share cooldown with each other, or are exclusive?

hmmmmmm.

First get your knowledge, then make a constructive post. Its hard for 93% of all people, but try learn.

[ArnoldRimmer]

Of course they share cooldowns, thats common sense.

The problem with the hero is that he's too versatile for a carry.

[Micromancer]

They really want to give Thunderclaw a reason to exist. Remember when they made a huge deal out of it with Aluna... this is their next attempt.

[HawkeyeBR]

Why don't you just make a plain 4 skills hero? Is the creativity failing that hard? Its just a attempt to make some unnecessary synergy.

S2, you were better when you released Sil, Moraxus, Myrm and Nomad. You are trying too hard to improve and make some difference, but its not working. So many good hero suggestions on the forums, yet nothing is used at all. All we see are retarded and inviable heroes like Parasite, Ra, Drunken Master and such.

[ic3`]

Well. I really don't get it why i should pick Forsaken for example. There is not even 1 Skill which is better then this. S2? - If you want to keep your community, STOP THIS ****! You're loosing much more than half of your community to dotA2. Gl, hf.

[Complaint]

They really want to give Thunderclaw a reason to exist. Remember when they made a huge deal out of it with Aluna... this is their next attempt.

they also put charged hammer on the parasite spotlight.

[Targuil]

Forsaken archer truly bears her name.

[Totsonx]

You guys still dont understand.S2 still has a problems and they are making new heroes so faster cus when they do that we pay early acsess they will earn so much money WHy we are in same sitation with F2P players why w ehave to early acsess we ****ing bought this game on beta first time i have failed why i bought HoN fck my brain

[Oneah]

Another Derp hero, why is S2 adapting RIOT way of making heroes? This guy brings nothing new to the game... where are the interesting hero concepts? I've seen several interesting community made hero concepts and S2 doesn't seem to care.. why even bother making a forum part for it?

[EG]

You guys still dont understand.S2 still has a problems and they are making new heroes so faster cus when they do that we pay early acsess they will earn so much money WHy we are in same sitation with F2P players why w ehave to early acsess we ****ing bought this game on beta first time i have failed why i bought HoN fck my brain

I've just lost at least 9 million brain cells trying to read this. :madm:

[Totsonx]

u are the one of them who is early access to buy new heroes.sucker

[SS601st]

another agi? Come on....

[Kumadori]

Another shiet-hero.... Does not fit the lore, does not have an exciting skillset, does not look good, does not fit the metagamechange S2 is trying to do, and will be EA.

Fix ur servers god damnit, and go balance heroes that are considered useless at this time.
If there's gonna come new heroes every week, you better start deleting some heroes too. And that wont work.

And why the heII is every new hero some carryish hero? Make a supporthero.
