Morale: The most important Hon virtue

[Rikomi]

Morale really does play a large role in battle. Sometimes when I start a game and our team picks heroes that aren't perfect or synergize with each-other, you'll get one or two douchebags who say: "we lost" or "gg we done for"

When I read that I don't feel like trying. I could prove them wrong but their not worth the effort.

i wish that every single player on HoN had to read this before even start playing

Well done

u don't realize how arrogant some people are in this game.

like even if u somehow forced them to read this 5 times before each game, they would just continue with their retarded picks, gameplay and bad manners.

some people in this world just want to watch the world burn, and its them tbh.

Nice guide, again I can't stress ennough how important it is to carry homecoming stones.

Ty for the praise . And yeah they are literally one of the best items in the game.

is there something we can do to get this stickied?

Don't forget the ever popular "Nice KS" - say this to opponents and encourage what they're already thinking, never EVER say it to your teammates, no matter how blatant. Dead opponents are dead opponents.

Also fun, if your opponents take their team drama to the all chat, either pick a side and comment accordingly (quickly! don't waste too much time typing!), or say something like "Game going bad, everyone quick blame each other!"

Ooooh, LOVELY!

"Nice KS" is brilliant. Gotta remember that one - even macro it!

Also the "Ha! Gotta love playing 4v6 " is also nice, when someone messes up or goes solo suicide on the other team.

This should be in the ToS

I like that idea haha

Can we get this stickied or what?

Absolutely NOT.

Make it premium guide so you get coinz :AlchemistBones:

I don't play mid often and am a noob so is it alright to essentially say you're going to lose the tower if they don;t gank? I don't try to be hostile or insult our mid, just give them a picture of how well, or not well my lane is holding up if we need a gank.

I let towers go all the time if I don't have proper backup to defend it. The worst thing u can do is linger around to try to deny if you think they can catch a stun on you, because chances are they'll get you, and the tower .

Absolutely NOT.

Sorry I didn't mean when they were AT the tower. More like we're losing the lane and the tower could likely follow in about 5 minutes so if I can get a gank in here we can turn it around is more the situation I call for in that(try to give a set amount of time before I think the tower will be in danger)

At least that's a general comment, and frequently dismissable just by how bad the average player is at judging the state of the game..

Now when you start ripping into a teammate every time he dies regardless of circumstances and throwing the scoreboard in his face, that guarantees he won't get his **** together. Getting focused down repeatedly is demoralizing enough without being called a tard for it. Squishy characters with high-impact abilities are always a prime target in a fight.

Now on the other hand if somebody is 1-10 cause he keeps pushing past the river by himself without wards up, yeah, something has to be said, but actually reminding him the REASON he's dead again has a much better chance of fixing the problem than just saying "****ing feeder gtfo uninstall"

Exactly, by no means was this guide or anything I said intended to mean, hey, don't call out teammates, but moreso, hey, remind your teammates what they can do to help themselves and the team out rather then *****ing them out for things that maybe, they're not noticing or not executing properly

Play DS and get 3 striders. Taunt everyone and top it off with lifesteal. Also, win the game.

We had immense fun. At least I did

Edit: We were 5 in a team, no worries.

- Make Intelligent picks

Game Modes are designed with time at the Hero Selection screen, and contrary to popular belief, its not just to imagine how Empath looks under her robe, or see how many heroes you can right click before time runs out. Teams that are planned out, typically have a better success rate. What do you need? Support, Initiation, carry, Find whose playing what, and fulfill the required roles.

I feel this is the largest problem with pubs and raging. Everyone wants to play some form of carry. Every. One.

Picking starts...your team right clicks chronos, sw, scout, and tdl.

lol

It is definitely worth it. You've put it down well.
I haven't thought of morale as something that can be...controlled and directed.

[These_Balls]

Most games are decided in team chat.
So many games that's starting with "CC at 15" just a few minutes in it's sickening.
The endless whine it's incredible some people actually joins games just to whine.

i wish that every single player on HoN had to read this before even start playing

Well done

And had to pass a test after reading it:

Question 1: A player on your team just got bloodlusted, what do you do?
a) "OMFG MOUTHBREATHER HOW U DI TO DEM VOTEKICK PLZ"
b) Try to set up a gank on the lane to make sure that lane doesn't fall too far behind.
c) Vote for remake

Thanks .

Is there a place to apply to have a thread go premium or is it just based on a MOD seeing it and going from there?
