Bug

[The_Nix]

It seems teams are able to pick both ra and monarch. I can't imagine this is intentional given how blatantly imbalanced it is. Any plans to fix this bullshit or are you just going to let this game become one where only 10 heroes are ever picked because everyone just chooses the imbalanced heroes.

I for one am getting pretty sick of playing nomad, ra, and ew. Much rather play good ole soul reaper, vindicator or any number of other heroes. But why bother when everyone is picking ra, monarch, and gem and playing 90% of the heroes is like asking to lose to worse players.

P.S. I think Nomad, EW are really OP and cheap too. I know I play them but like I said, why play anything but dumb OP heroes when that's what everyone else is doing.

You're in the 1500's. What makes you think that you have any right whatsoever to comment on balance?

I mean, honestly. I've never played Cricket before, but I wouldn't go play a match or two and declare the sport imbalanced. Get good and then you can talk.

Then explain to me why monarch ra as a lane isn't broken oh omnipotent no life?

I've played this game since closed beta, I know well enough how it works. If I put my mind to it I could easily, EASILY climb higher in MMR. Was over 1700 when PSR was the measurement of stature. However I play this game exclusively with friends, (because this community is a bunch of tards) all of whom but 1 are realistically around 1500s, two are realistically around 1400. You can go look through my recent games if you'd like, you won't find a single one where I was playing without Octium, FonzieD, Stevebane, John_Flagg, or leechyscroad. When I'm gaming by myself I prefer to play games that have some semblance of balance, don't require other people to perform in order for me to win, and are good. HoN is none of these three.

monarch is getting nerfed in the big balance patch

Pick heroes that disjoint like: :valk: :bubb::magm:. :succ: is pretty good too just learn how to counter :) EZPZ lane

Saying that being able to pick two heroes that work well together is a bug is just plan dumb, like saying monach/swiftblade should be a bug or other useful "combos"

that would work if any of those 4 heroes actually countered it... the combo though is monarch silences (thus preventing a disjoint), ra stuns, monarch slows. You don't really have a chance to disjoint that before they kill you.

sb monarch is not nearly as bad a ra monarch. I would rather lane against sb monarch 50 times in a row than against 1 more ra monarch lane. snare/silence slow spin vs snare/silence stun slow, huge nuke, slow, huge AoE mock like ability. Much worse.

You have no clue what disjointing means.

You disjoint the silence before it hits you.

Actually bubbles can do awesome vs that lane... Get a fast puzzlebox and counter that RA :P
