resulting us reconnecting to MM over and over. This made me a leaver

This is called milking.. and I hope you dont do so.


This is actually called leaving games that you've joined. By doing this you're making other players more frustrated and ruining their experiences. You brought it on yourself...


Mhm good advice.

It was AP which is always part of the issue. I'm actually sort of thinking of switching over to BD/BP games now just because I'm getting sick of all the last minute picks that leaves it more up to luck than actual picking strategy.

The new right-click potential hero thing makes this a lot better... but you're right. In public games EVERYONE wants to play their favourite hero. You're going to need to convince other people that you can play your hero better than they can play there hero, if the two dont work well together :)

BD/BP games in higher PSR brackets have a lot more discussion and coherent thought. Sure, you still get the retard that says "I know you'll hate me for this but... *picks scout first*". (That actually happened. No joke. I should have screenshotted it. Actually... I will.) Most of the time though, you'll get a decent team.

Yeah.

I've been really bouncing back and forth between the idea of playing BD/BP and playing AP. I've been playing a lot solo recently so I'm going to really need to dust off my :souls: skills a bit and play him a bunch. I was doing voodoo the other day and today and got a decent chunk of PSR (before I lost it in 2 games, haha) but higher up people tend to get more disablers which sucks. So many disables that can go through BKB too that makes his ult kind of useless then :(.


That being said I'll probably bounce between BD and AP depending on what I feel like. I honestly feel the hardest part is convincing people that you're a good mid player in higher end games when everyone is higher PSR than you. That and a bad game or two really knocks you down in confidence.

Just asking, Ive got leaver status on MM. You might possibly think that I rage quitted everygame but thats not it. I played with some mates and tried to MM in team resulting us reconnecting to MM over and over to get into the same queue. This made me a leaver and im very mad at the solution you made for ppl like us.

I might be wrong but if there isnt anyway at all to fight off the leaver status without paying money I.... I dont have any words to describe how foul that is. If Im wrong please correct me, but if Im not I really hope you should consider another option like joining "leaver-games" to draw the leaver percentage down. Just like the public games.

This is called milking.. and I hope you dont do so.

Thanks in advance.

If I'm not much mistaken the whole point of the matchmaking system is that you won't get pubstomped(and that you play against people roughly your skill level). If you want to play as a team why not use the public games list?

[Asinine]

For the Electrician, his new mana shield at max says it produces a shield 1.33x the mana cast. My question is how much mana does the shield cost if your at full mana? Is it a percentage based off of gross mana or total current mana??

Up to 20% of max mana.

Guess I'll try answering these:

For the stacking, your supports should do it for you. SS does not need an early whispering, you can much better get 200g more and buy a Portal Key. For some carries (like Maliken) getting early whispering is good because he both needs the lifesteal and the ancients, and with a Whispering you can take out a triple stacked camp every 3 minutes. SS farms easily enough in lanes.

Swapping modifiers is done with . and , .

I'm not a good FA player, but I'll try to give an answer: early game, save them up, pin someone and release them. When the game is getting late and you actually want to push lanes while farming, you can release them, while jungling you can release them to take the creeps down faster so you take less damage... Use your own discretion really. Refilling them only takes 6 last hits anyway.

[Shinnuki]

Thank you :)
I agree it's the supports job stacking for the carries(atleast I do lol).
Well I see that was kinda a dumb question when it's 200 away from a core item.
I just didn't see how it would be possible doing it all in lane with SS, I think I'm just way too passive when it comes to certain things.

Thanks once again :)

When you're playing soulstealer, dont bother with a whispering helm. If you have good support heroes,they can stack the camps for you. If you dont, you can kill a creep wave in mid with demon hands, go stack and kill jungle creeps, and be back in time for the next creep wave. You can stack the small creep camp on sentinel in time like this, and with a pk you can stack the large senti camp as well.

Someone answered the modifiers one...

With FA you want to use your skeletons when you can get some solid harass off and possibly score a kill. If an arachna comes too close to you trying to harass, just pop the skeles and right click the arachna. She'll go to at least half hp with skeles and autoattacks alone. If you land arrows, you'll get a kill. You can do this with any ranged hero. Against solo melee heroes, I would have the skeletons out almost always. If they can hit a skeleton to kill it, the skeletons can hit him and do a lot more damage.

Also use the skeletons any time you have a tower in your sights, you can do huge damage with skeletons in a very short time. It might be worth it to you to take 1/3 of the tower's hp and lose all your skeletons.

Click the player you'd like to watch replays of, click matches, Control+F for whatever hero you want to see him play, then download that Replay.

[itwasntmeo_O]

Just to add to that, different players prefer certain types of heroes. For example, you'll find a lot of melee heroes played by freshpro, while trixi prefers ranged carries. If you were looking for a good pharoh replay, dont check in trixi's replays, check in freshpro's replays instead.

I love rift shards but almost never seem them picked up in pro replays why is this.

Most likely because it only gives damage. Savage Mace gives a ministun. Wingbow gives evasion and stats. Geometer's Bane gives illusions and stats. This gives all those items much better utility compared to Riftshards.

I'm not a pro player by any means, but I think the reasoning is pretty solid still.

Quick question:

I attempted testing this in Practise Mode, however Bubbles was able to move in the Chronofield for some reason, even if I didn't Shell first. I would guess however that the time on the skill is NOT frozen. Bubbles will pop out of the shell after Shell ends, and be frozen by Chronofield.

Had a recent game with chronos vs bubbles. Bubbles comes out of his shell in chronosphere. However, if bubbles is IN his shell in chronosphere, he can use a portal key and blink out.

[Shinnuki]

Question about :warb: better to start off in a lane and go in the jungle at level 3, which I see from time to time, or to just begin in the jungle at level 1?

I would say jungle from lvl1.
Because, your laning mate now. Instead of having a level advantage over 2 people. He will be the same lvl as them, so when you leave at lvl3 they will destroy him that much faster.

Why do people recommend ganking at level 3?

[itwasntmeo_O]

Why do people recommend ganking at level 3?

Kind of an open ended question. Who recommends it? What heroes do they recommend it for?

With the current information, I'd say the only answer is that they're a bit dense. You can gank early on if you're losing your lane so badly that you cannot return without getting killed. The opposite is true as well, if your opponents are being destroyed so badly that they cannot show up in lane, you can go off and gank another lane. You can gank if you find a nice rune (double damage / haste / invis) and see a vulnerable lane. You can gank if you see that another lane is losing very badly and could gain control with a double kill.

The thing is that none of this requires you to be level 3... Just gank when you feel you have an advantage to gain by doing so.

[Loki]

Why do people recommend ganking at level 3?

Although ganking before level 3 is possible, it requires you to heavily outnumber the enemy, eg 3v1 at a rune spot. Only a few combos such as :behe::witc: can gank in-lane at level 1.

You can gank properly from level 3, because you will (with most heroes) get rank 2 of your 'nuke' spell. Ganking at level 3 doesn't involve leaving your lane in this context. It's simply the earliest time when it's safe to go for a kill.

Eg :pyro::magm: is a very solid lane, but with their lv1 nukes they are not likely to get a kill. When they hit level 3, you have almost twice the damage output for almost the same mana. Your opponents still don't have much health. The opposite is true also, so beware and only gank if you think you can take them on.

My question is:
How do you efficiently counterward with :Puzzlebox:? The item reveals wards, but you still need vision of the hill they're standing on. You may not know which hill.

[Roflsocks]

I have a question about neutral creep ai. When I try to double stack a creep camp, most of the time the creeps follow me, and it stacks properly. However, sometimes the creeps seem to run back early, or even part of the camp follows me, and a mob runs back, and doesn't allow the camp to be double stacked. Why do they do this?

[Shinnuki]

Kinda depends on the camp I think.
The only camp I've had this happend to me is the easy camp when there's a "healer" involved.
Also remember the creeps will start running back when they attack something three times. I don't know if heals counts as this though.

I guess this happends mostly with ranged creeps, they can attack "easier" and even screw up the stacking because they can attack from further away.

I don't know if they start running back if you go outside they're vision range(if they have any set range).

[itwasntmeo_O]

Also remember the creeps will start running back when they attack something three times. I don't know if heals counts as this though.

I'm not sure I agree with this, but I havnt tested it so you may be right. I do agree about the healers, and I dont think they run back if they lose LoS. Easily tested though, just take hag, attack, and blink out of sight.

[arksine]

what does CAI on the clan page stand for??

[Shinnuki]

Hmmm I was so sure they only attack you a set number of attacks :S

BTW:
Found out the main reason for stacking the one with a healer troubled me though.
I attacked the creep then started running.
The healer will stay back and attempt to heal himself or the creep you attacked, preventing the stack from happening.

Is it still possible to deny (kill) runes with the courier and/or bottle it with a courier?

[itwasntmeo_O]

In dota you could bottle runes with the courier. I'm not sure about HoN, but I think you can.

The courier cannot attack, so it cannot kill runes, and it is not a hero-class unit so it cannot use runes.

Dota != HoN. Also, there are guides saying you can steal runes with the courier thus rendering it useless. I've tried but it didn't work; maybe I did something wrong. Otherwise it should have been removed in a patch. Yet I usually read patch notes and don't recall seeing it.
edit@below: Plenty of things in HoN are different, so it's not per se the same. The guides were actually proper-looking ones, one from the premium section. You are right that I should post it in the mechanics forum, and I'm very lazy and I should test it myself. (I'm just quite sure it's not possible when these guides say it is.)

I don't think courier hatchet works anymore. There is no real alternative, although if you count the heroes that use blink or tree damage, you get a lot: :bubb::andr::pest::legi::pebb::krak::pand::dark: :sand: :valk::tund::pyro::chro::dead::thun::doct::glac: :temp::mali::chip::zeph::behe::magm::wret::engi: :mage::souls:. If none of these are on your team, then you will have to buy a lot of runes of blight or a port key/tablet yourself (tablet kills trees, too).

HoN is a DotA port, and borrows all implementable mechanics from DotA. The mechanics that HoN changes are the ones that were not meant to be implementable in DotA.

In this case, DotA gets its rune mechanics from drop-on-death powersups in the standard game. When powerful creeps died they could drop use-on-pickup items that restored hp, mana, resurrected your troops, raised the creep that dropped it, etc. These items became the runes in DotA. Since they are considered items, only units of hero type can use them. This mechanic was not forced nor broken in Warcraft, so I assume it was ported fully to HoN, leading me to believe that couriers cannot pick up runes.

Your statement that Dota != HoN is absolutely true, but saying that DotA mechanics != HoN mechanics would be a massive overstatement.

Also, guides are wrong. Many of them are written by people who barely understand the game. This question would be better directed towards the mechanics forum, where Elementuser can give you a definitive answer.

It USED to be possible to collect runes with couriers. This was then removed because it was retardedly abusable. The author WAS right, but hasn't updated his guide.

Focus him then have a SR ult him. Succubus can sleep after/before stonehide. She can also make him do alot less damage, so can CD etc.

[Roflsocks]

What's a good counter to predator? Setup- or itemwise. What's an effective way of stopping him when he's farmed?

Stack armor instead of hp. His attacks do less damage, his passive lifesteal is also less effective, cutting down both the damage it does to you, and the healing it does to him.

Many heroes have skills that go through magic immunity, these are very effective against him, as he will often leap - magic immune, and gib your squishes when farmed. If you're paying attention, you can stun him right away, which buys time for your teammate to get away, as well as makes a good target for your team to focus fire. Without good hero picks to counter him, he likes to jungle. Ward the jungles, and send gank squads regularly. Especially if you keep his farm down early, he won't be terribly hard to kill.

In addition to skills that go through magic immunity, paying attention to his buffs, and applying cc as soon as his immunity wears off also works well. additionally, don't waste ground target skills around a pred when he is immune. It doesn't last long, and its important to land your skills, so you can burst him down.

2.93 tsr
32% winning percentage
0.6 : 1 kdr
7 wins
15 loses

i dont know everytime im playing like any other decent players, im stuck anything that can turn me off gameplay-wise. today i got a nice teammate, 2:1 kdr and 2 guys in my team went to feed and just left. its always something like that.

not that im saying that i blame my teammates, me myself is not a pro, and sometimes do blunders ingame, but really i'm sick with people yelling to me to play as a babysitter, thus i believe them cause they have nice stats, even though i win my kdr is broke etc etc.

currently im undergoing a losing streak (8 loses already) and i dont want this to continue. im not a new player, but im not a good player already.

i've read Coolica's guide to winning pub games and Mewtwo's guide to improving PSR. but that didnt help me a lot, cause i've already know game mechanics like that. what im looking for is some advices / guides that makes me know how to handle pubbies, know how to disconnect when they've balanced the team etc etc.

i'm currently in a noob rage fest thinking that it may be worthless for me to spent my 20 bucks to reset the stats. i could've buy other thing. in my country that's not cheap.

and yeah, i have buddies and clans. it's when i play with them i get my wins. but i'm looking to increase my KD ratio too, i just cant play using killer heroes with them, they're better. and we're not always like online together in the same time.

TL;DR i wanna be better, but not in game mechanics, just like how to "understand" pub mechanics, what heroes to pick, when to disconnect even if the host already ab, what type of players to avoid etc.

thanks if any of you guys really reply this post. i really appreciate that.

i'm currently in a noob rage fest thinking that it may be worthless for me to spent my 20 bucks to reset the stats. i could've buy other thing. in my country that's not cheap.

This part is correct. It is worthless to reset your stats again, you will simply and promptly return to the same psr with similar stats, but with $20 less in your pocket. It makes sense to me to want to start fresh, when you took over the account. Don't go crazy with it though, you want to get better, and work your way back up one match at a time. If / when you do this, you can consider resetting your stats again, if you think you've improved enough, and would like your stats to better reflect your epeen.

Most people know that there are different hero roles, but they don't truly understand the hero roles. People get simple things. This hero is a carry, that one is a good initiator. But what they don't get is what their role on the TEAM is. That means things like, determining if your carry is competent, and if so, support him. Don't steal his farm, don't ks his hero kills. Go out of your way to hand him free kills you did 95% of the work on, because if he farms up, you'll win. Stack creeps in the jungle for your carry, place wards, set up ganks, PAY ATTENTION TO THE MINI MAP. Pay close attention to whether or not the other team can see you on their mini map. If its past the laning phase, and even some during laning, assuming if you're exposed, that someone will come flank you, attack you, and kill you. In the event that your carry is completely useless, you'll need more farm yourself to make up for it. Try to call out when a teammate needs to back, pubs often get overextended and are easily killed. Hopefully they'll listen, often they won't. Just be happy that you prevented some deaths, when you can.

POSITIONING. Its important. Don't run straight into an enemy. They'll run straight away, and you'll just chase until their backup arrives, and then you'll die. It sucks, don't do it. Instead, move around - without giving away your position, to a spot where you can attack from the side or behind, and then attack. Set these up with your teammates, so there is no good place to run.

Watch matches of players better than yourself, and watch your own matches. Do this from the perspective of someone who did well, and from a person on the other team. Try to notice why they did well, or why they didn't. Pay attention to things that worked, and things that didn't. One of the most useful replays I ever watched was a 2v2 I lost horribly, with a friend of mine. Every time we went somewhere, we just got obliterated. Upon watching the replay from the enemy team's perspective, I saw how obvious our movements were, and how easily the other team just walked up, knew where we were, and attacked. If you're going to expose yourself mid / late game at a creep wave. Do so briefly, and then back off. If you stay farming, you're simply asking to get ambushed.

I'm not sure how useful that was. You asked a pretty broad question, these are just the things that came to mind.

Advices to counter swift early and late game ? I can't find any.

[Roflsocks]

Advices to counter swift early and late game ? I can't find any.

He is still vulnerable to physical damage while he spins. Some heroes :pand::ramp: have skills that go through magic immunity, others have ults that do. If you are not going to outrun the spin, it is sometimes viable to stand there, and auto attack, you may or may not still die, but you've done more damage to swift, which enables your allies to help finish him off. Ranged heroes are good to keep pressure on him while he spins, as they can auto attack without taking damage themselves. The 400g magic armor item will help mitigate some of the damage from the spin, as well as being generally useful for defending from the rest of the team. Be mindful of a swift traveling around with a teammate that can lock you down while he eats your face. Stay out of their range, especially when you don't have much backup with you. Harass swift and his lane mate when they aren't in perfect positioning.

Late game, how dangerous swift is, depends largely on how fed you let him get. In order to prevent him getting too fed, make sure your team doesn't feed him in the lane. Pay attention to his farm, once he looks strong enough to easily solo the forest, make sure you send gank squads. Don't go in solo, or you'll probably get ulted on and die. Void talisman works nicely to counter his ult. Invis also works, but is more easily countered. As far as surviving his damage solo, you need hp and armor. His ult is physical, but requires a target to be alone to be most effective. Stay near teammates when you can. If a swift is chasing you, stay near your creeps if you can, it'll be safer.

and I almost forgot. Blink heroes work nicely against him. When he tries to spin or ult on you, simply blink away, return and kill him, or simply run away safely.

[YawningAngel]

Is it better to take, 3 flurry, 1 flick, 1 cannon ball + ulti?

I was always taking, 1 flurry, 1 flick, 3 cannon ball + ulti due to having a stun or slow in the lane I found it far more devastating on people then flurry at least early on.

But I want to grab some opinions!

[XrBob]

If you can effectively use both flick and cannon ball, then I'd say those are more useful early game. Using all three abilities requires more mana, and I'd say flurry is more useful later for farming and for when your strength is higher to make use of the scaling.

Bloodbath starts from the 10th kill in a row. There are no bonuses for you other than sounding cool. However, anyone killing you will get 50 gold extra per "streak level", so +50 for Serial Killer, +100 for Ultimate Warrior and so on, up to +400 for Bloodbath. This is not shown on the screen separately, but is included in the bounty you get for killing someone.

Smackdown is another story, it is entirely cosmetic. It's a "skill" you can use if you preordered early enough.

Attack modifiers more or less.
It's basically effects added to your attack like : mana burn, cold ( from frostburn / frostwolf ), life leech, lightnings etc ... . This is in dota though and you couldn't really stack any of the above except for some specific cases. In HoN, mana burn is not an orb effect i believe so you can have an attack that both steals life and mana burns.
Originally, these orb effects in Dota came from W3 "classic" items which were made unstackable, but it was locked in the engine so the dota makers could not really get over with it. Thus why cold was not an orb effect for range heroes ...

I tried looking for a post on this but couldnt find anything. Im sure there are tons of posts already but could someone tell me if backdooring is "illegal" or bannable?

and if so what are the limits to "backdooring" strats. can i attack the second tower if no creeps are near it? or is backdooring limited to in the base?

thanks ^_^

[Decency]

Backdooring is completely a choice thing for almost everyone. Lots of players won't do it, but it's perfectly legitimate in HoN.

In some high level tournaments it's illegal to attack into the other team's base without creeps present. In any game you'll play, however, this is legal but often frowned upon.

Most of the time it's not worth it anyway, but if I win a teamfight and notice that my lanes are really far back I'll backdoor every time. The alternative is not getting the free towers. Later in the game this becomes even more important because towers drop very quickly and the damage they do is negligible.

[OmgLolL2p]

Isn't it a bit overkill to for Blood Hunter to have a 16sec silence? Yes I know i get dmg boost, but that won't do much if I play Jeraz full support and my whole team depends on me and my spells.

[WangBacon]

I personally will farm nonstop until it's absolutely NECESSARY to join the team in a large fight (for example, if they're pushing). It's also useful of course to gank IF the gank is in your farming area. Time is of the essence of course.

I completely agree with this. I was once playing MB and was too laggy to do anything, so I forested for about 15 minutes or so, and before I knew it, I had the Symbol of rage, and I'm pretty sure we won. Of course, whenever they'd push, I'd try and help by picking off the stragglers that would get away, but yeah.

Behemoth's Heart is okay as a luxury item but there are better choices that give both damage and hit points for early game that are also easier to farm. Geometer's Bane is the item of choice on pretty much every ranged Carry/Semi-Carry.


Ok, thank you. Why not Behemoth's Heart? Do you have guide about Soulstealer?
http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/showthread.php?t=19114

Still by far the best overall SS guide I've seen. The item build is outdated, though. Most players nowadays are getting Bottle-->Power Supply-->Steamboots-->(Optional Frostburn, then split it up)-->Geometer's Bane-->Frostwolf's Skull.

This is because his ultimate takes a while to go off, it used to be fast enough that a Portal Key was enough. Some people like to use Assassin's Shroud to ultimate on top of people. Also, Shrunken Head definitely deserves a mention. Against teams that give you trouble with disables, you should definitely be picking one up at some point.

[l34Um1]

Ok, thank you. Why not Behemoth's Heart? Do you have guide about Soulstealer?

It by no means is a bad item, it's just that there are better choices. In the later stages of the game SS mostly relies on his attacks to deal damage, his hands are only used to clear creeps and his Ult is mostly a slow and damage decrease.

Even though you could argue, that Behe increases his damage, it is really not that much, if you hit for 300 it's only 30, you are better off getting an actual damage dealing item. Also if you get to the point, that you got enough money to think about getting a Behe, you should consider getting more armor. Why that? Cause raw HP is only effective to a certain degree, if you hit around 2,5K HP getting armor gives you more EHP. Considering this, I would say, that if you really need more survivability and already are above 2K/2,5K HP get a Daemonic Breastplate. If you are below that, getting Behe is also not the best choice, since you probably don't have Frostwulfs or "The-Big-Lifesteal-whatever-it's-name-is-it-was-called-Satanic-in-DotA" you should get one of these. But that's just my honest opinion, maybe someone has an argument to get Behe that beats mine

Don't worry what you need will come with playing more: map awareness. Try to look once every 5 seconds on the minimap, count the heroes and if someone is missing play really safe and don't go to far away from your towers or team mates. Also try to carry always a TP scroll, it can get you out of though situations with ease.

If you want to stop feeding there are 2 things you need to do:
1. Stop playing carries, I know that everybody loves to rock end game, but they get focused early on and are the ones that need the most map awareness
2. Learn the basics. This may sound stupid, but you most likely don't realize the importance of wards, always carrying TP's and adjusting your item/skill build.

Just continue playing, you will get better if you play with people that are better than you are

[Decency]

if you are going for a fast sac stone say with torturer whats the latest time you should be getting it by?

Ideally you want to be getting it before the big teamfights start happening. This is pretty rare though, especially since most of the heroes that the item is common on people wrongly dismiss as not needing farm: Torturer, Soul Reaper, Repulsor, and Defiler. Timewise, if it's your first real item I'd say you really want it before 30 minutes, but getting it by 20-25 isn't impossible because those heroes can all solo reasonably well and the buildup isn't particularly hard. If, like in most pubs, you're relegated to support duties with wards/courier too, say maybe 35-40 minutes.


Does Mock propagate to Sand Wraiths illusions. If not why is it such a popular item on him?

Yes, but it doesn't stack. It makes his illusions that much stronger and fits his role as a "tank carry" - the longer he is alive the more relative damage he'll do. This is mainly due to his Dissipate skill. Also- a lot of teams choose Sand Wraith to counter Portal-Key engaging heroes like Behemoth, Magmus, Tempest, etc. Mock lets him do this without being hit, as his dissipate won't damage enemies unless he actually takes damage.

And, obviously, the damage doesn't hurt as he is a pretty strong Chaser/Ganker.

There are a lot that have benefits in their own ways, the real "best" depends on the enemy team too.

Experience is split evenly among all nearby heroes. Higher level heroes give relatively more experience to be split, but it's a very obscure progression, not really a formula.

The idea behind not denying the rax (3rd) tower is to keep your rax invulnerable for as long as possible. By denying the rax tower you open your rax to creep attacks.

I've read guids on the build, but at what point does one transfer the core items back to wild soul instead of the bear or does most of the core items stay on the bear? Also, if an enemy hero dies within the xp range of the bear but NOT wild will wild still get the XP or does the bear not give it to him. thanks!

[Midnightoil]

There is no ONE build to wildsoul, there are many and because of his 12 item slots he can be very diverse. What do you mean by core items? and no WS will not get xp if someone dies near his bear.

Well, I was watching a chu replay and for most of the game all of the items were held by the bear. Then at some point mid/late game he transferred these items to WS instead. I was just wondering why that would be done and at what point that is decided? I'm assuming at some point WS's leveling makes him a better holder of the items than the bear...I guess it doesn't have to be core items, but just all items in general (w/ the exception of say boots or small items that the bear might need)

Stacking attack speed on the bear can be good for a push strat, probably obvious and stated before but You can put a warcleft on there for you charged hammer right away then once you get the outer towers and buy other components swap it.

I played today with a pred in the team and he owned the game... The only thing is the predator's build, which was : started with 2 steamboots ( on strength ) and Elder Parasite. After that he made another 3 steamboots ( a total of 5 steamboots on strength and Elder Parasite ). And his final build : 4 steamboots, all on str, Elder Parasite and Brutalizer. At first ( when he had 2 steamboots and marcher for the 3rd steam ) i was laughing at him "haha nice build...you know that the movement speed does not stack" but then when he starts killing the entire team on his own i started wondering... Is it a good build on pred or the op team was way too stupid ?

[Marach]

on some heroes building multiple steamboots can work because each rather cheaply provide +10 of some stat and with +25 increased AS (attack speed). having 4 of them gives +40 of some stat (STR/AGI/INT) and +100 attack speed (which is huge).

some of heroes it can work on, for example, are: predator, hammerstorm and nighthound.

predator and hammerstorm both gain increased HP pool (making them harder to kill) and damage from STR steamboots. hammer's damage benefits from STR items even more when under effect of his ulti. and increased AS is awesome on both as well. along with general DPS increase that AS provides, predator DPS (damage per second) also scales with AS due to his passive.

nighthound benefits a lot from AGI items (due to his passive) so he can hit for really high damage with steamboots set on AGI. and increased AS is also nice oh him as an auto-attacker.

although multiple steamboots can work, they probably won't be as good as having just one type of boots along with other items, especially if the game drags on. they cannot be upgraded to better items, like some items can. and each takes a slot in your inventory which could be used for a more expensive item that provides more.

[Decency]

Yeah, but don't bother. Assuming matchmaking actually comes out you can just start using that and no one will care about your public stats.

The lane itself could be viable because pretty much any auto-stun plus Engineer is very strong, but in higher level games people will TP to towers that are getting pushed instead of just letting you kill them. Also, an Engineer that maxes Tinker is very weak in mid-game, when he's supposed to be strongest. Without turret his lane presence is also pretty low and so you probably won't be able to push the tower anyway.

The other team was probably bad, but the build is okay, though less than ideal. It can be used to decent effect on Hammerstorm, Predator, Maliken, Night Hound, and maybe some others. Basically, it's cheap attack speed plus damage that's easy to assemble, and on STR heroes they also get 190 HP per pair of boots. It works well on Predator because he doesn't need a Portal Key or Shrunken Head, as he has both of those abilities in his skills.

Coordinated teams will just blast you down or initiate on you, but it's fun to pubstomp with.

You're missing a few things in your comparison. The +46 Str vs the +10 Str is huge. You said the second build has more survivability but remember that a +36 difference in strength on the multiboot build is a lot more hp and health regen not to mention this is an additional +36 damage that you didn't mention. So you are actually getting more +dmg on the boots build. You might as well remove the entire abyssal skull in the second build because that cost alone, when removed, is still less than the difference in the cost of the builds.

I think you just have to make sure that, when TB kills kongor, others are not in the exp range (1000 units). so fight the kongor together until he is very low on HP, make sure all others get away and let TB kill it.

So we see Glacius ALOT as as support in tournaments, my question is, is he valid as a support in public 1500-1600? The problem i see is that the carries may not have the skill to carry enough, to balance out the fairly uselessness of glacius' skills if he goes support. Ofcourse there is the aura and the imprisonment which the compeditive players make great use of, having glacius as a creepstacker, full aura and occasional imprisonments. Ill see other heroes as much better supports for these cases?

What are the critical elements of a successful trilane, aside from, obviously, going 3 ppl in one lane?

[Dragnmn]

Basically the two support heroes have to punish the opponents for getting close at all, effectively turning it into a 1v0 lane for the carry. This also involves the carry and the supports killing anyone getting too close. This means the supports have to make sure they don't die to whatever the opponent throws at you.

[Decency]

What are the critical elements of a successful trilane, aside from, obviously, going 3 ppl in one lane?

There's a lot that goes into it. A good part of what I learned I got from this DotA walkthrough: http://www.dotacommentaries.com/index.php/luminous/3882, the rest from watching a lot of replays.

Focuses:

1. Two heroes who are very item and level independent, as they will be getting virtually no gold outside of Passive/Assist gold for a while. Heroes like this are :vood::andr::glac::witc::nymp::plag::hell::deme:; the first four being more common due to their stuns. You can also use heroes such as :magm::behe::engi: due to their long range stuns in more offensive tri-lanes, these heroes will generally start roaming pretty early. Theoretically, you can also add :keep::accu::jera: for their defensive capabilities, but I haven't seen it used yet in HoN.

2. A hero who can dominate the mid-game with decent quick early farm. This hero should have high base armor as a lot of the damage in 3v3 lanes is from auto-attacks. Examples are :swif::pest::pand::dark::nigh::glad::fors:. Some teams have also been using :pebb: just because he's so dominant with a quick blink dagger. This hero is going to be the most exposed one because he'll essentially be the only one last hitting.

3. Two heroes who can solo well, safely. :valk::wret::bubb::valk::phar::madm:, etc.

4. Support heroes need to be doing something. A lot of low level tri-lanes fail because of this reason. For example, if the other team gives you a free lane, the supports need to start roaming and ganking other lanes; 1v0 is as good as 3v0 for helping your carry farm. Also, stacking neutrals, warding properly to prevent ganks from the most common enemy routes, etc.

Smackdown is when you taunt someone and then you kill the taunted person. A humiliation, if I remember correctly, is when you taunt someone, but then the taunted person kills you. It also might just be when you taunt someone and die yourself, I don't recall.

@Superfriends

Play like you would against a tb, after bottle(on most heroes) get a mana battery and keep sending regen to yourself. Rune control is very important against defiler, she doesn't really have anything for it except for her extra speed from her passive.

And as you said, try to anticipate waves, either you get hit, or the creeps get hit, not both.

I'm wondering about suicidal missions, if there are such things. Is it ever worth it to sacrifice yourself to achieve something? Like, if I'm glacius (Glacia, only play female version), and I can take down a tower but it will most likely cost my life, should I do it? I mean, my whole team gets 315 * 5 gold, they get 230 or something like that.

[Dragnmn]

I think it is, if you are sure to get the kill, and ideally have spent most of your gold. Since you don't really mind the death for yourself and it gives your team a huge amout of gold. I haven't really faced this yet, but when it comes to hero kills I'm generally happy with a 1:1 tradeoff if an item-dependent hero goes down with me.

If it will otherwise be denied, you should do this every single time without fail no matter what. If there's a good chance you won't get the last hit (TP's are going to arrive before tower falls, they have aegis up and plenty of time to kill you, etc.) you have to make a decision. If you're sure you can kill the tower before they can get to you though, your death is easily worth it.

However, if it won't be deniable, you have to think of towers as gold waiting to be taken. Yeah, your team earns around 1500 gold, but you'll earn that gold no matter what as long as you take the tower at some point. So in that sense, it's not worth dying because you can always come back later when there's no risk of enemies killing you.

I can only help you on the first question: no. It's not possible. Since I'm not part of S2 I can't say anything about the second one and since I'm not a modder I can't help you with the third one either. I can say this though: it would be very annoying. I'm in HCTc, and there are usually from 30 to 70 members online at any given time. Getting emails sent for each and every one of them would be very annoying, so it'd have to be customizable for whom you'd want it.

Thanks Dragnmn. I'm part of small clan, that's why i believe would be very helpful to have some notifications when members are online. I agree it has to be somehow configurable so that bigger clan members will not consider this an annoyance.

For non-carries, :pebb::glad::devo::fayd::phar: can just gank non-stop and make people concede even when they have a decent shot at winning because you're so far ahead.

Usually SotM + Shrunken Head. He can farm neutrals and even ancients well thanks to his cask, so if you don't see gank opportunities and wards are up don't be afraid to farm a bit, he gets scary when he has those two items. He's played a lot differently in high tier games than pretty much everywhere else, due to tri-lanes.

blood chalice, manapots, bottle, or ring of the teacher. Any of the above will solve your problem. If you start out with crushing claws and the int version, you can still buy a courier and 2 manapots. Bring yourself a trinket to finish the blood chalice when you hit 350 gold and then you technically have infinite mana. You can pick up any of the other mana items above to keep you in the woods if blood chalice isn't enough.

What items should I get for Tempest if I plan to stay longer in forests?

Blood Chalice and Bottle. Start out with a couple of mana pots but after you get those two items you shouldn't need more. Ring of the Teacher is more for laning, as you don't need the armor to jungle and the mana regen is very low for its price. Generally I start with :Courier: :CrushingClaws: :MarkOfTheNovice: :ManaPotion: :ManaPotion:, quickly bring myself :TrinketOfRestoratio, then grab a Bottle and Boots. You should be ganking sporadically, don't just sit in the jungle.

It costs the same amount of mana over a distance, although you'll regenerate slightly more since you're moving more slowly. I'd say no because the speed of your ultimate is one of the things that makes you such a strong ganker. The increased damage of higher levels of the ultimate is also nothing to scoff at. Your teamfight presence (jump around, jump around!) is also heavily reliant on your ability to keep ulting and dodging everything.


i cant find any rooms :( please help

Most people are using matchmaking nowadays, since it's proven to be a lot faster than public games. Give that a try.

Portal Key is still stronger than Shroud on SS still right?

[Decency]

Yeah, people seem to be getting that and Shrunken Head over Geometer's Bane again, I'm not sure what prompted the change.

[Suwaaa]

pk over shroud for: 1) better positioning 2) harder to counter
shrunken so he can survive after he pops up in the middle of nowhere and/or to not get ult interupted. Probably.

Hi i usually use the hotkey F1 to center the screen on my hero or just double press F1 for it but it would really help if you could center an allys hero with another hotkey like:
F2 - player 2 in your team
F3 - Player 3 in your team
F4 - Player 4 in your team
F5 - Player 5 in your team

This is what it used to be in WC3 when played the original game :)

Is there any way to create a hotkey for this?
I have a hotkey for lvling up abilities which in default is not customable

[Decency]

You'd have to have them share control with you, I believe. =/

I'm somteimes having problem with positioning as a team. Are there any basic pointers to keep in mind when trying to figure where to push (except for watching creepwaves), where to move when the field is inactive (as in you don't see any enemy heroes and the team is spread out) and when you should try to kong?
