HoN Classic Hero Spotlight: Legionnaire!

[Viole]

Legionnaires, the namesakes of the Legion itself, bring unflinching power to the battlefield. With their massive battle-axes, these warriors spread carnage among their foes and cleave bloody swaths through enemy ranks. Even those daemons born of fear itself can be terrified by these heroes of the Legion.

This month's Classic Hero Spotlight focuses on Legionnaire, a sturdy hero who causes disarray in the hearts of his enemies. Legionnaire's main role is to absorb damage and draw fire through various abilities that help him focus on his defensive prowess. With all of his abilities together, Legionnaire is able to force enemy heroes to attack him, so items that increase his defensive abilities are core.

Legionnaire will have a special, limited time skin arriving this Friday!

Axes. Someone is going to get one. (http://youtu.be/Uv7x7arHbsU)

What's happening to plaguerider at 1:38 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uv7x7arHbsU&feature=youtu.be#) in the spotlight when a big stone appears and knocks him back ?

[MudButt17]

How has no one mentioned the fact Sachi looks like She's going to be re released. And good find about the plague rider.

[anjdza]

Viole's voice is such a turn on for me :(

[narkosmurfen]

[Baer]

Good stuff, Viole and Co.!

[Acquire]

How has no one mentioned the fact Sachi looks like She's going to be re released. And good find about the plague rider.
If that happens, I want my legendary Valkyrie. :valk:

[Tezlacoil]

Not trying to put anyone down but doesnt it kinda look like this:

Thats the 1st lets say boss of Resident evil 5.

[KawaiChan]

^ Not even close

[Dawnbringer]

Tezlacoil, hood and axe executioners are quite popular indeed and it doesn't resemble it much at all.

[Wolfoy]

How has no one mentioned the fact Sachi looks like She's going to be re released. And good find about the plague rider.

Sachi was a gold collection...unless theyre making a huge change to her then I doubt this is gonna happen

Probly new HERO, we just saw one of his spells :3

[Skinsword]

Viole's voice is such a turn on for me :(
Viole doesn't voice the spotlights.

[Bangatron]

Viole doesn't voice the spotlights.

They could start each video with this and people would still think she does the video...

Anyways great video as always :)
New skin looks awesome.

Also anytime :)

[Gwydion]

Facepalm at the kanye thing at the end

[Viole]

How has no one mentioned the fact Sachi looks like She's going to be re released. And good find about the plague rider.

She isn't.

We just used Swift since he spins and it fits the skit.


GIVE HIM A WHIRL!

AN AXECEPTABLE PUN :mora:

I'm glad you liked it. I almost went with "let me axe you a question" but that would be too bad :(

[Katieeee]

First a handsome logger, now a hunky executioner...


S2, who let you read my journal? ;x



Good work on the spotlight, very fun to watch! ^^

[MacroHard]

She isn't.

"Swift" can also be a pun for this as well!

[Viole]

Except I -DO- do the videos. I just don't voice them. I write the script from scratch and send it to a voice actress, and that's her only role. Everything else is guided by me with the help of RaViJ and Syth`.

I've never voiced a spotlight, and I don't know if I will in the future ;O

[Example27]

Again good work, Viole and the rest of the crew. But the video I liked the most was the latest Newerth Apocalypse one. That was just stellar.

I ment the voice. I know you do the actual video.

You should voice the soul reaper or silo one.

[Hubaris]

I read that as you should voice Soul Reaper. That was a laugh.

[Pazuzu]

WOOT I'm so happy you're doing these.

[Pedent]

Why was Scout killed for making that 100% true statement? Why do you guys need to hate him so much? -__-

[Warm_Teeth]

The ult is at lvl3 is only 600 now, not 625. Poor show s2.

[SyleSpawn]

I have barely ever play legio... But damn I might start to play him just because of this alt. Its looking so damn good! Me likey.

[SmackTrickz`]

oh god i love legi

[SeNeXx]

[Nospheratu]

Loved the spotlight & the Kanye meme pun at the end, good job as always, keep it up :)

[spider_17]

[Denvert]

Actually, this was an issue with the tooltips in SBT not matching the tooltips on the live server. I can't really explain the exact issue here as it's private stuff, so that explanation shall suffice.

Essentially, ElementUser's fault ;)

[jellYMADness]

Why there wasn't mention about most important thing ?
shift charge + taunt ?

[Flandre]

Why there wasn't mention about most important thing ?
shift charge + taunt ?
Yeah that is a pretty crucial trick (even though some good legio players will claim that you do not need it... well I've seen plenty of failed taunt because the radius is so small and people run fast).

Also they didn't even mention that the attack speed boost from your charge is there to increase the number of chances for your whirl to proc.

[multikillz]

How much will this avatar cos in gold / silver coins ?

[Dawnbringer]

How much will this avatar cos in gold / silver coins ?

Generally limited alts are 420g/3000s as far as I recall.

[Viole]

Also they didn't even mention that the attack speed boost from your charge is there to increase the number of chances for your whirl to proc.

Scene 7 (E Real)
Whirling Blade allows Legionnaire to roam the jungle and kill neutrals for experience and gold, rather than farming in the lane like most heroes. With Terrifying Charge, Legionnaire can cause many creeps to attack him quickly, causing Whirling Blade to constantly activate.

[Dawnbringer]

Viole, why didn't give give Legionnaire Vector-spin entity :(

[laedrel]

Sooo... Scorpion devourer avatar?


Yeah that is a pretty crucial trick (even though some good legio players will claim that you do not need it... well I've seen plenty of failed taunt because the radius is so small and people run fast).But queuing taunt is bad. The target will escape half the time. You need to charge and queue a movement slightly in front of where you will be when impacting. The charge speed buff lingers for a second after the charge, allowing you to get in front of the target and taunt (instead of taunting from behind)

[LionEyes]

can someone explain to me please how to change the water to be the same as the spotlight?
thanks

[EmptyOne]

Nice avatar tho it cost pretty much :/
