I liked using banlist in TMM to keep track of things like who remade for me and who unpauses and such. But it seems they don't care about fixing it so it displays why they're banned when you join...

Game design is very different from game programming. And game programmers are generally underpaid, work long hours, and a hard job to get. A degree is reasonably important, but not the end of the...

Solving smurfing is quite easy. Just multiple MMR gained by Win% and problem solved.

The only real changes that Devo needs is to have his turn speed increased or, even better, gain clearvision (though not necessarily invis reveal) of who he hooks. It's pretty stupid how if you make a...

13 minutes from when you have a leaver is a pretty silly amount to wait.

Also, if you leave/get kicked, you still lose full amount. Even though it says you can leave without penalty. :P

I think the game would have been better if slows and stuns had diminishing returns, but it's too late to change it now.

Used to take a couple of seconds to get past the black screen with the gorilla face, now it takes ~20. Specs are GTX 670 / Revodrive 3 SSD / Xeon X3440 @ 3.7ghz, so I doubt it's just a matter of...

Implying that the other team would actually kick said player.

Tree-walking makes hooking into deep trees as Devo completely worthless. They'll get auto-unstuck instantly, before you can even ult them because of fog, and you won't be able to follow because they...

Devo.

No matter how good you are at SS, you'll likely lose to a good Devo.

It takes less than 5 seconds to restart. :/ Win+C to open charms (I think there's a setting for the actual settings part, but I don't know it off-hand).
If you really want faster, you can create a...

I don't get what you guys are running that doesn't work on Windows 8, but I've had Windows 8 / beta for over a year now and have never had any issues with any programs, including HoN, on my desktop....

Yeah, I noticed it takes around 5-10x as long to start up as before. And I have 0 mods.

The background is fixed height-wise, but not width-wise.
The width is the same on both the forums and the main page. Here's a screenshot. This isn't really related to the new forums though, as the...

There's a couple of 1440p 120hz IPS Korean monitors out there. They usually run around ~550 before shipping. I'm using one at the moment. Not true 120hz, but can be 'overclocked' in a way to support...

There were a lot of issues with the old XML API, not least of which was that you didn't even have API keys. Instead, anyone could make as many requests as they wanted without any rate limits, which...

But the vast majority of those hooks are a combination of luck and the opponent being bad and not knowing not to run straight vs a Devo.





Devo is still the most fun hero to play IMO, and...

If you don't need 120hz, you can find 2560x1440 IPS on eBay for ~310-350 from South Korean sellers. They use the same panel I think, just not overclockable.

Overlord Tempest X270OC.
2560x1440, IPS, currently running at ~100hz.

With a glossy monitor / IPS, the UI in the lobby looks really nice, but when you get in game the low res textures...

Higher res textures. On 2560x1440, things are just... low quality.

Items important to quickly activate = Alt + Q (hatchet, portal-key, hellflower, sheep, etc)
Phase Boots = Alt + W, always, Treads = Alt + A
TPs = Alt + S, or D if BKB, BKB = Alt + S

Everyone has...

Post-compression:
Lowest: 1625
Highest: 1940
Current: 1840

DotA implemented 3 second delay, stacking.
HoN implemented 3 second tower disarm, stacking, instead.

S2 has ignored this thread every single time it's been posted unfortunately. It's pretty stupid how at 1900 you can't queue without getting +/- 0 about half the time. If I select Fairer Matches, I do...
