I'd like to see some built in tournament feature!
...Hounding around since 2009...
FJ's Suggestionbox
Hi guys. I guess it's finally time for me to throw in a couple of suggestions to S2. -
Tournament / 22-player games
Right now, we can change the entire way of playing tournament games / scrims- into something better. These improvements would enhance the experience by a lot, while not being hard to implement no getting out of hand in any way.
Host ability - silence
By applying a mode, the host can completly remove all chat coming from observers, only allowing the interruptions of Referee.
I believe way too many people are being given the chance to watch the pros play, and then abuse that by spamming the chat.
Observer feature - fog of war
A feature that is very needed for observers- and casters is "Fog of war".
Show fog of war for: All / Hellbourne / Legion
This way, casters can get a really good insight when it comes to talking about positioning, warding and proper teamfights.
It provides a very useful aspect to both casters and observers, giving them a chance to really look into the supporters eyes of warding.
Right now, we only get half the story, since we see "all" vision.
Miscellaneous
Ingame clanprofile
There's no way of telling what a clan is all about, without asking the question. How about making an ingame clanprofile, showing the content of the website. This will also make you able to announce whether you are recruiting- and what kind of players you are recruiting.
Ingame clanprofile should feature:
- awards/achievements won by the clan
- A Free Text-box giving you an introduction of the clan
- A clanpicture (like account icon)
- Recruitment status + requirements
- Claninformation (Players, average MMR)
Ingame profile
Very similar to above, have a way of introducing yourself as a player- as a person, without having people consult you.
Ingame profile should feature:
- Personal "Free text" box: You could either introduce yourself here, write a quote or something else.
- Awards: Has this player received any awards on the forums- or in a tournament?
Achievement system
This suggestion has already been suggested and discussed- there's pretty much only applauses when talked about it. This suggestions is not mine, but i would still like to give my two cents on it.
About:
I believe, the future of HoN will have an achievement system. I hope so. It doesn't have to be in "wowstyle", where you have to grind achievements in order to get them all. But i would like to see an achievement-page for both players and clans.
Example of achievements:
- This team has managed to lose 10 times in a row without winning
- This team has won 10 times in a row without losing
- This team has won a major tournament
- This team has overcome a gold-disadvantage of 10.000 / 20.000 / 30.000 and won the game
> Players could have similar achievements :-)
Chatsystem
Remove "auto-connect" function on popular channels
By doing this, we avoid the overflow in popular channels such as "ScrimHigh", "Clan Scrim", "Clan S2Games" - and similar.
These channels are being flooded with people who have putten the channel on auto-connect, but don't even have a purpose to be in there.
A new set of channels
It is in everybody's interest that a new set of channels will be created. These channels should be shown when logged in, or in a drag-down menu.
- #HonTV - Here you will find live discussions about what's going on @ HONTV. - It should also be a good way to announce upcoming livecasts of big tournaments.
- #Competitive Discussion - A live discussion of whatever is going on in the competitive world. Topic should also show when the next tournament is up.
- #Clan Recruitment - As name states, a place where everyone can search for either members or players. (Ringers aswell) - This should keep the clancreation active and make it easier for people to find a proper team.
- #Fungames - Everything that is fungames. Announce your upcoming "DEVOWARS" - "MIDWARS" - or similar! -> This way would make it a lot easier for people to catch their favourite games.
- #Scrim - Find your scrim here: "LF Scrim, low/medium, EU" or similar.
(No auto-connect) should be allowed on any of the abovementioned
Ingame improvements
Effects
Creating new effects on item-pickups would not only enhance the game, but also make your hero look dope. Very similar to WC3's old style of adding orbeffects on heroweapons, i would like to see something similar.
:FrostwolfsSkull: is the only modifier which is visible on projectile.
:Shieldbreaker: Should have one (Stygian Desolater <3)
:NullfireBlade: Should have one - Perhaps just a bit of glow to the arrow, or similar.
:StaffOfTheMaster: Does show effect on few heroes, however not on Alt-avatars.
Item tweaks
:NullfireBlade: http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/wiki/index.php/Nullfire_Blade
This item is very good and useful, however- is only being picked up in rare scenarios, versus Jereziah- for instance. However, it has a lot of potential, and could be made into such a powerful- yet balance- item.
What i would like to do, is:
Rank 1: Keep the same effect. 8 Charges, 26 Mana combustion.
Rank 2: 26 Mana combustion, unlimited charges:
New effect: Toggleable modifier - Similar to :HarkonsBlade:, you now get the ability to "toggle" an orbeffect.
What would this mean? - This means, that the item can now be balanced in regards to illusions.
:GeometersBane::NullfireBlade: Used to be such a powerful combination- yet balanced. It worked very well against STR Heroes.
Why do we need this change?
Can proc combustion on Illusions- i do not believe it is fair to not make an ability similar to that possible. It is not overpowered by any means, it is simply a way of balancing things.
Making it more skill based. Not like "has a 30% chance to crit" and stuff like that. Please remove the miss chance for ranged over ledges. To compensate for that you can make them damage less or something. And change EW. It's kind of impossible to juke from her and that's boring.
I can agree on the crits being made like puppets crit or something but i dont agree with the uphillmiss.Originally Posted by Xoxsossardoi
For example slithers dot would have 100% chance to hit uphill when its 75%(?) now. And range heroes with reduced damage would have even harder to lasthit vs hatchet, would almost be impossible.
This is a brilliant idea!
But you should make it that ppl queing together cant give eachother coins
1-S2 vs Honers if honer wins he will recieve random items.
2-early access for non legacy account.
3-5 silver coins and 1-2 gold coins per MM win.
4-All countries e.g.Pakistan,syria
5-Custom account name Color with color equalizer.e.g. Extra DARK PINK or lime green
6-S2 will choose 10 lucky winner members online each day to give them their prize.
7-more shop keepers e.g. account vanity PimpSlayer alt avatar a elf shop keeper etc.
8-the people who spend more money on s2games will get extra 1 silver gold and exp for each tmm match
9-200 silver coins for texture alt avatar 420 for texture and model 620 for texture ,model,sound
10-More runes e.g. Runes of Armor . Runes of HP Aura.Runes of reset cooldown etc
11- Invisible rune cant be seen by bound and and should renamed to Camouflage Rune.
Please Use In Game Report System Which Is Called As RAP Report a Player
Thx or this Troll Will Troll u
(I guess this 10 suggestions from Anuratti, is really to necessary)
1. mentor / spectator mode now allows you to move camera on your own
2. More, cheap alt avatars (like suggested above 200 silver coins for texture alt avatar 420 for texture and model 620 for texture ,model,sound)
3. Change announcer on all random mode. It should say "All random" instead of "All pick"
4. More maps to matchmaking
5. More use to silver coins
6. More silver coins gain
7. More often updating "Ask S2 games"
8. Tell us on which heroes/spells from dreamsite you based to create new heroes/spells
9. More balance patches
10. More events
In addition
11. Make silver coins use priority in shop
12. re-release >>ALL<< gold alts including EA ones as permanent on goblin shop
13. a remake from of BANNING DRAFT game more (nearly unused): I always dreamed a 16 only heroes draft, then both sides must ban 3 heroes than choose 5, I think this could make BD more played
14. Increase silver coins gain per game
15. better balance on team arrange, for mm
16. make optional migration to Korean and LA future servers
17. a new interface for login screen and stats viewer/herodex etc

1vs1; 2vs2; 4vs4 Matchmaking
as it is event for the community, i think the best way would be to implement community ideas into game.
what i want to say is, that i want this one thing from the event: for S2, to look at suggestions forum (mainly the popular/tier 1 ones), read and implement the ideas. there are too many great, easy-to-implement ideas with no downsides, but they get abandoned and forgotten about.
hon would be much better if it had all those changes.
all heroes abilities have no cooldowns or mana cost (WTF mode) when playing on observatory for 3 days
Web Designer and Designer of Free Custom Account Icons (CAI) and Custom Backgrounds
Click the pic for my mashup thread of HoN and other characters from games/movies/shows
Add friend lists.
So you can make groups.
Like
IRL
CLAN
Randoms
and so on.
so, things like
-item tab at herodex
-being able to turn gold coins into silver
-being able to rename a replay
-option in shop to show only gold/silver alt avatars
-show wards placed at game end screen
-force draft (look it up!)
-right click on random to get "gray" randomed hero
-show which ally is TP-ing in (by colour or sth)
-show both sides teamchat when spectating
and so on, there are much more ideas! just please look at the suggestions forum!
This plus...
11. More game modes on public games just for fun
12. No Server restriction locking latin-america (I have many USA and EUR friends i play with)
13. Use more ideas from suggestions sub-forum
....
-My dream/hero drafts heroes ported.
-A CGI trailer, that will make you millions (see LoL's Dota2's)
-Reward forums posters that dedicate their time to make YOUR game better
-2x Silvers
-2x Golds
-Let us update the loading screen tips (I tried to suggest one, but our community manager only looks at tier 1 I believe)
-Have us be rewarded for bringing in new players
-Balphagore Avatar
-Have the Fan Media Section make new art for the game.
-Have the spotlights have a proper thumbnail to be more professional (Like Lol's/Dota2's)
-Spotlights in Spanish (Voiced by me)
-Update the models on the original heroes
-Have the interface be upgraded into an avatar 3d world, where we move in Newerth, have our own clan castle. (see my suggestion) More revenue from buying avatars etc
-Have HoNBlog stickied in the gd forum (love that site)
Just the stuff you guys promised with release please...
reimplement ability to spawn all hero alts in practice games even if unowned.
I would like to see a behind the scenes vlog of hte S2 HQ - Small interviews with thoughts of the designers and so forth as well as small walkthroughs/videos on how they create the heroes and so forth.
Also be good to see some more EU community stuff along the lines of palying against S2 - alot of focus is around USE/W servers but for obvious reasons i guess.
