Recently I bought a second account and have been dual boxing every single pub game since then.
Dual Boxing is like opening 2 Clients on the same or different computers , entering a game and sharing the heroes on the start of the game. Then you are able to control 2 heroes at the same time.
For those who are interested in seeing how it goes here are some replays. ( I have many fail replays , but everyone has I think ;/. )
Generally since I have complete control over both heroes , I generally tend to be overly aggressive as much as I can on the lane and tend to gank a lot , although I have been trying to change this depending on the dual hero I choose , because I want to learn to farm items with dual boxing as well.
Match 1333381
Behemoth + Torturer Dual Boxing , It was a nice game , but Dark Lady got farmed and then she started doing 1200 Splash Criticals ;[.
Match 1448675
Magmus + Vindicator : Was trying to combine their ultimates for perfect ultimate as long as there is no items , but didn't work so well , another stun / slow is needed so they don't run from me.
Match 1452217
Moon Queen + Magmus : I wanted to do Magmus + Vindicator again to become better at it , but someone randomed Vindicator at start , so I tried to find something that fit in.
Match 1553386
Magmus + Vindicator : This game was pretty fun , I had a good time at the laning phase , then heroes started appearing non stop and I could pull off some nice perceptive plays XD.
Match 1554354
Accursed + Vindicator : Trying to make a good lane that has survival , harassment and that makes Vindicarry viable , worked somewhat well , but can be improved. The high points of this game is the battle of Vindicator Team vs Chronos Team , who had the better start would make a genocide.
05/18/2010 :
Match 1620911
Vindicator + Magmus : The other team got a lead early game because of ganking , then they lost some teambattles while trying to push , because of that they started doing desperate pushs all the time allowing me to counter them easily with both ultimates at the same time.
Feel free to ask any questions...
PS : I changed the change unit hotkey from TAB to ~ because when I tried to use items and change hero I would do something like ALT + Q + TAB and this would alt tab the game and leave me afk for many seconds ;[.
Also I have noticed that many players hate me because I feed / die a lot or can't farm items fast ;[.
I am accepting suggestions for hero combination and I do it mainly for fun.

Why?Originally Posted by otarU
while i still think this is stupid lol, get another monitor so you can watch both without having to tab
share units means you don't have to watch both.
EDIT: I see what you mean now.. but I think it's easier to tab, then switch between two comps.
I do it because its fun , its really fun to be able to combo with yourself XD.
I remember that vindi / magmus combo last night, was wondering why you guys were travelling together so closely!
Hehe I remember you , I didn't play well that game.
Nice Soul Reaper ;].
I hope I never get ppl doing the same on my team.
kthxbye.
Or get a friend and combo with him, guaranteed better success and fun.
This is extremely selfish of you. You ruin the game for everyone on your team.
Props to you for having fun at dual boxing HoN. That is hard. There are no macros and scripting is not viable.
Admittedly, it is not like WoW where the API is extensive and well documented (at least not YET). WTB: Macaroon HoN mod.
Screw the haters, it's just pubs (I assume) :P
I've tried playing mid and top with a guy who's disconnected and will be coming back, and that's hard enough for me!
Sometimes my friends don't want to play the heroes I want to combo with.
Also I know I am being selfish , but just like the guy above said its only pubs.
And I don't think I am ruining games. Its just like playing with a friend , you might be in a worse situation if you play with noob friends.
I forgot to say that I generally play dual boxing with some friends , almost everytime its 4fun , so if they accept what I do , I can't ruin their games.

if done right, they wont be able to farm at all
leave it to someone else to carry your team
