he is normally picked because he is a strong solo mid who is a decent ganker early and mid game. He can also drain the other teams carries damage to nothing.

as for why he is picked in pubs he runs fast has a nuke and is a raged agi carry.

[Nietzschean]

I remain unimpressed, but thanks.

CD is a semi-carry meaning, he can put out alot of damage, but he can maintain other roles too. He can totally wreck carries by draining their damage and then becomes a monster himself.

Also, since he is a semi-carry rather than a hard carry, teams can afford to bring in another semi, or even a hard.

Whilst he isnt game changing or amazingly powerful, he is very solid, and high tier games go for the more solid heroes.

The leave percentage does not change when you leave in the middle of a no stat game. Sadly enough a buddy of mine leaves most no stat games without a care, and it did not affect his leave percentage at all.

Do you perhaps mean it counts when you set up a server with 'no leavers' option enabled?

What is EHP?

What is EHP?

EHP stands for Effective Hit Points.

An in-depth explanation is found in this thread (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=44130), "Advanced tactics - chapter 4".

[LightRain]

What is EHP?
effective health points

Your hp divided by [1-your damage reduction] (armour or magic armour depending on which damage you're taking)
For instance, if you have 25% damage reduction against magic and 1000 life then you effectively have ~1333 life versus the raw damage the magic attacks are inflicting.

[Beelsebubi]

What is the optimal armor rating for the best EHP (=effective hit points), costs compared to hp buffing items, example Beastheart or +10 str axe. Use an intelligence based hero for low attribute modifiers (agi affects armor, str hp.)

By this I mean that if armor is 10 it blocks some physical damage, then hp x 1,armor block percent = EHP. So if I buy an plate mail, It should in theory increase my EHP more than beastheart in some phase of the game. This then equals more survivability against physical damage heroes (=AA carries)

Someone do the math, and a graph, I LOVE GRAPHS.

[LightRain]

If a beastheart would give you 300 hp for 1100 gp, that's 0.2727... hp/gp. This at least is constant. It gives you even more ehp/gp depending on what armour you already have. With ten armour beastheart gives you 300/(1-0.375)=480 ehp vs. physical. That's 0.43636... ehp/gp.

Platemail modifies your armour: previously you had ([armor]*0.06)/(1+0.06*[armor]) and now you have ([armor+10]*0.06)/(1+0.06*[armor+10]), which is sort of awkward to manipulate so I'll use an example:

Say you have 10 armour from your agi+items already. You'll have 0.375 damage reduction. A Platemail will increase this to 0.5454... damage reduction. This is a difference of about 0.17. So a Platemail would give you 0.17*(max hp) ehp versus physical damage for 1400 gold. If you have 1000 hp this gives you about 0.12 ehp/gp. If you have 2000 it gives you 0.24 ehp/gp.

So as you can see, beastheart outweighs platemail for pure ehp/gp for quite a while, and is cheaper, and applies against magic damage.
I'm not going into any graphs since an accurate analysis would have to take into account varying starting armour and so on, but maybe this will inspire someone.

What i believe from my DotA days is that crits stack by haveing individual rolls and thus one crit doesnt effect the other in terms of percent but if both of them crit at once then the highest crit is taken and the other is void

Core items or builds are generally things that you would get the hero every game. They are items or skill builds that define the hero and work the best for the role they play (like elder parasite on chronos or barrier/hotbl on zephyr).

You can bind keys like that, but I believe you have to do it through a mod. Not sure if that is available in the standard game. I would recommend asking around the mod forum.

I recently hit the 1600s and have hit a wall. I find my gold per minute is much less than the average players in my games. (This has cause me to drop from my 1600 rank)

How do I increase my gold per minute? I usually play support.

My average gold per minute is just over 100 gold with the high end maxing out at 140 gold per minute.

I seem to find I lag in mid-game and get either out-farmed by lane-mates or out-denied by the enemy when they care to deny.

Am I just not buying enough damage items or do I just need to work more on my last hitting skills? (which I thought were good till now)

Depends on hero, creep camps, lvl and if you think they will come for you.

At lower lvls if you don't have a hero good for jungling always lane or pull the creepcamp (if you don't know what that is do a quick search on the forums).

At higher lvls you might want to go for a big creep camp or if a big group of creeps is in the lane go for them.

If you are worried that you will get killed then jungle over anything else. If the rest of your team is deffing/pushing remember to ask them first if they need any help.

Hi, I happen to have written a guide on that! See my sig :D

creeps were changed in 1.65, let me dig up the patchnotes...


- Significant Lane Creep AI changes
* These all involve the assist trigger that causes the creeps to aggro you when you attack an enemy hero:
1. When a hero causes the assist trigger to go off, there is a 200ms delay before the creeps will turn and come at you
2. Creeps will chase for exactly 1600ms (down from 1800ms)
3. If a creep is in the middle of an attack animation but has not hit its attack impact point (600ms), it will deagro and stop its attack as long as you are out of it's short melee range
* AKA: Creeps will not finish attacks they start on you if they hit the end of the trigger
4. A creep must deal damage before it can be called by the assist trigger again
* This means if you tug, they must turn around and actually deal damage to a unit before it can chase again
5. You must be within 600 units of an enemy hero to cause the assist trigger to go off

So, 600 range. Spells don't trigger creep aggro. This includes "spells" like Arachna's webshot and Vindicator's incantation (when you target them like spells, not when you set them to auto).

Ranged are hurt more by denies than Melee are (a ranged hero gains 25% of the experience from a denied creep, while a melee hero gains 50%). This is to offset the fact that ranged have an easier time in laning than melee, being able to attack the melee from afar and being able to lasthit/deny creeps that are unreachable by melee, and lh/deny from a safe range. At least, that's the reasoning behind the exp difference.

Is shaman's headdress more useful against heroes than helm of the black legion? Most hero abilities are magic based right, so wouldn't that make sense?
Well they both protect from different things. Shamans Headdress gives Magic Armour, so it provides good protection from many nukers like Thunderbringer, Pyromancer, Magmus etc, but it provides almost no protection against many carry heroes. HotBL blocks some of the damage from heroes auto attacks, creeps and towers and hence if better against heroes that rely on their auto attack to deal damage, and is definitely better against all the AI units.

You made the right decision of also posting this in Tech support. I'll try to help you out anyway:

1) LAN-games have not yet been implemented/unlocked, you are currently only able to play games online.
2.) Have you already read the FAQ's in the Tech support section? If not, try this (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=45407), this (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=2504) and that (http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=67867).

How do you jungle with wildsoul/warbeast and there items??

[Mr_Kzimir]

With Wildsoul , you buy hatchet en shield and put them on bear.
With Warbest , exactly the same items.

With both heroes you have to use your pets to tank for you.

Always start by the lowest creep camp at the 30sec , then go for a Middle level one.
You should start the Highest one around lvl 3/4

[arcainic]

doublestack at 55 sec on the lowest lvl camp for an easier time

I generally refer to ss with... ss...
so when people say soul ??? I think it's soul reaper a lot more
but portal key on ss is probably better...

[pyrated]

sotm doesn't boost soul stealer's ult, just to clarify

your friend probably meant that having assassin's shroud allowed him to get close to someone before he ulted. In this way, it did boost his ult. The bonus damage only applies to normal attacks however

[alliednoob]

yeah, sorry about the sotm thing, I thought it was soul reaper >.>

thnx pyrated for confirming that.

[EspritFort]

How do items effect champions and their skills? Does it scale?

Could you specify that question?


and what does Agility, Intelligence, and Strength really mean? (Carry, Burst, Tank)?

The heroes' categorization is solely based on their main attributes. In most cases it does not have anything to do with their roles in the game.
Main attribute means, that in addition to the bonus every hero usually receives for 1 point of an attribute (Str: +19 max health, + 0,03 health regeneration; Agi: +1 attack speed, + 0,14 armor; Int: +13 max mana, +0,04 mana regeneration) he receives +1 damage, too.

Die but destroy the tower, when you could have lived.

Are towers worth dying over in general?

I argued that it is better live, but I was called nub cakes for running and living, instead of destroying the tower and dying. I just don't see giving XP and gold to the enemy to give your team a bit more gold.

@EspritFort

Like in (some may hate me for saying this :/) League of Legends, items boost your characters stats, and it's easy to see what items boost what part of your stats. In HoN, I don't really see how stacking intelligence/Agility/Strength items may help a character. In order for me to become a better player, I need to understand what the items actually do to your character. I know the obvious ones (i think) like damage increases your base attack, but beyond that I'm clueless.

it depends, if u are a carry and you deny a tower but die to their carry, no it's not

if ur support and die to their carry it's not

if ur a carry and die to support, it's not

if ur support and die to a support then it is

towers are worth dying over if it's an enemy's tho.

+damage does not increase your base attack only the damage you gain from your main stat does that.

+damage increases the amount of damage your hero does but does not get boosted by things like +100% base damage.

partially, it's a % of the remaining % chance to crit.

when facing devourer mid, is boots first a better option then normal. so you can outrun his lvl2/3 combo
if he gets you with the hook and slow... i doubt you can outrun him with a bonus 50 ms

it's cheaper to just play cautiously. Stay behind your creeps and his. Don't forget the siege creeps don't block his hook. And stay far away without losing xp. The speed of his hook right now is pretty slow so it's possible to dodge it as long as you have vision of him.

You might want to invest in wards however since a dev with a rune is generally bad news (dd, invis, illu). And that way, you can deduce whether he's trying to get you from the Fog or trying to gank your allies.

[Clarityy]

To be more clear, the ' button enables/disables the showing off healthbars, it can be turned off in key settings.

[Clarityy]

Does Wingbow stack with Zephyr's passive?

Since wind shield *evades* melee attacks, and *redirects* ranged attacks, which means the chances stack on ranged, but not melee. Therefore wingbow on zephyr is only passable if your enemy team is full of ranged, or all their carries are.

You can't. Don't worry, you're doing it right, you just can't keep the pace with Glacius. Poor survivability and farming capacities make one of the heroes that get stuck behind really really fast and usually all the time. Doesn't mean he's bad, just don't expect him to be useful at every point of the game.

[blitz24]

Dude that is what he should do..deal massive damage in clash (well if you cant get portal this would be difficult) , mana poll support, disable, slow...exciting to play..+ ice imprisonment is buffed for defensive purposes..

if you are the type of player who want kills and kills and kills.,you wont enjoy heroes like glacius.,

Noob PSR Question//

My buddy and I play about 90 % of games together and have roughly the same KDA. His PSR is somehow 300 pts better than mine...

What baffles me though is when we are in the same game together, even though I'm lower PSR, I still lose more PSR if we lose.

This makes no sense to me. Why punish the supposedly worse player more for losing while protecting the higher rated player?

Shouldn't the better person have "better" chances and lose more PSR for losing. Or atleast if the balance is team based and we all have the same chance, shouldn't we all lose the same?

This has caused our PSR's to extrapolate even more, because whenever we do lose, I'm down 40 points while he maybe loses 8.. In one night, playing every single game together, he netted a 30 point loss, and for the same games and everything (and probably a better KDA rating on my part) i lost about 150.

I'm very confused here and would appreciate any insight =]

Sorry if there's a thread about this already, I search for a good 15 min and couldn't find what I wanted

Orb walking is the following:

With Arachna, the Hotkey for the Auto-cast skill is Q.
Orb walking consists of attacking with that orb, and then clicking to walk forward BEFORE the projectile hits effectively attacking without stopping to attack.

You orb, then walk, the orb, then walk. Orbwalk.

You can also orbwalk without an orb. Just Hit A to attack, then click to walk.
If you walked before your projectile hit your target, good job. You orbwalked.


A pro orbwalk is basiclly orb walking so fast that you attack while never losing speed when they are running away (it is possible).

In Normal fights, you click to attack and your hero stands there until they are out of range, then they move to attack and stop when they are in range.

This drastically makes you lose your opponent all the time and makes you hit less. Orb walking makes it so your always hitting and always walking while always keeping you in range.


MASTERY takes tons and tons of practice, and is a must with heroes who have a slow like arachna.


This is a very BASIC orb walk, and shows it a bit.
Its actually kind of bad because he stays too close to the opponent. The trick is to always stay at a good range.
If he turns around to attack you, orb walk backwards so he never catches you, etc.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbgDcwi08Y0

technically not possible, becuase there is no way to get around the set time before your projectile as actually released, you will be stopped for an extremely short amount of time, but you will be stopped none the less,
and this differs from hero to hero.

for the

before projectile release, to actuall projectile being released, and then after the projectile is released

after the projectile is being released that is what you cancel if you cancel before the project is released, well then..you just stood still for nothing which i do every now and then as im trying to "orb walk" to fast.
also orb walking backwards will take even longer as then you have to wait for the turn speed, at which your hero is set at. again not never standing still.

Ok I have been playing swiftblade for about a day now and I just got flak from someone who told me to go for "runed axe" first...

From what I've read and discussed with a buddy I found that his attack speed is priority over damage but not by much, and that I should drift in the direction of attack spd/dmg items.

Item Build:

Start - axe, hp pot x1, mana pot x1, mantle of int, minor tot x1

(if harassed, which is a lot) - Shield + duck boots x2
Boots
Enhanced Marchers / Life Steal (this is interchangable)
Life Steal / Enhanced Marchers
Elder Parasite (farming help early)
Firebrand
Thunder Claw / Frostburn (if farm is going well I go for Thunder Claw)
Frostburn / Thunder Claw
Charged Hammer
Savage Mace (Haven't gotten this far yet)

___________________________________________

Now the last game I played I had some guy get mad at me saying I had no damage... So after whispering him 4 times he finally replied and said "RUNED AXE"...

The reason I go attack speed is because he still hits when hes spinning and ulting... Giving me more chances to crit and do more damage.

I was 7/3/14 that game, he was legionnaire 13/2/9 (he enjoyed decap ks)

Am I failing? Feedback plz

Runed Axe is primarily a farming tool. The damage and regen are "just" nice additional perks.
Point is, if you have your RA, there won't be any "if farm is going well I go for x"-situations since your farm WILL most likely be going well.

So what exactly are you saying, forgive me but I don't understand if your saying "go for it" or "its lux"

[LightRain]

Most times I see switf in competitive games lately, he goes ghost marchers -> runed axe -> frostburn
with people stacking the neutrals whenever they go by, you can quickly kill the whole jungle for gold and continue to farm very efficiently with it.

I would say go for it. Remember its primary use is making you very good at killing neutral camps.

runed axe is basically core for all agi melee carries.

where can i find counters of all heroes?

I have a few questions about barbed armor.

A farmed dark lady will hit at least 500's with his first skill activated, and with riftshards this amounts to 1200. Since barbed armor returns 80% of damage taken does that mean it would return 960 damage (disregarding armor etc). How exactly does barbed armor work.

Also, 80% damage returns seems pretty beastly to me. Wouldn't tanks, with generally much higher HP, take out squishier heroes who are attacking him? But i rarely see anyone used barbed armor. How exactly does it work?

Hi guys.

My password has expired and when I type in a new one it comes up "Password not confirmed". I try 1 more time after that and a error message come up becasue some website isnt online.

How do I fix this?

[LightRain]

Barbed Armour is actually used to good effect at high level play, on heroes like Magmus or Pharaoh, who stun in and then are prey to carries. Also, if you activate before/during a huge AOE hit, like Behemoth, better yet if multiple teammates do this, you can take out the caster passively.

The damage returned is true damage equal to 80% of the damage that you took after armour reductions. So if a 200 damage autoattack deals 100 damage to you after your armour, the attacker will receive 80 true damage if your barbed armour was active.

Lately I see some players who are typing 1 sentense quickly and easily (example: Missing from TOP lane; Rune in 15 seconds and other) and I wanna know how to do it, because they said to me it's a patch, but I searched 1 hour in this forum and can't find it. If someone can guide me I'll be grateful :-)

Right click whichever item you want to drop and click on the ground where you want to drop it.

Also, for the previous question about the quick sentences, go check out the forum on user mods, most of what you need/want is in there...

I read earlier that once the game goes out of beta, our beta accounts will be wiped, but pre-purchased accounts will stay. Will we be notified before our accounts are wiped? So we could purchase if we wanted to?

it's called a release date, they made it so ppl will know when the game will be released.

Here's a Question: Which one is the more updated PSR statistic. Your In game? or your one in ladder stats? I know in game can lag behind but I never knew which one is the most accurate

In-game is more accurate. It is generally at most one game behind. I think this is because the server you play on registers the outcome of the game after it has shut down, so if your opponents concede, your PSR won't update until the creeps have pushed their base and destroyed their throne. Also, there seems to be a slight delay with the updating in-game anyway. But it's generally a matter of minutes or so.

The ladder stats on the homepage can be several days behind at times.
