HoN Hero Spotlight: Prophet!

[PicardsFlute]

This guy really feels like the hero Revenant was supposed to be. The combo of those two sounds absolutely hilariously brutal. Everyone hits super hard, super fast, are invisible, and all your enemies get stunned when they get hit.

Hopefully he doesn't fall into the same trappings as Revenant in which at lower levels of play, where no one knows how to make proper use of the buffs you give them.

Will both avatars come with the EA purchase? if so, will the price be 500 gold coins or something?

The skull avatar looks awesome, also ending animation for S2 logo was win

That's what I thought, he's exactly what Revenant supposed to be, or is at least similar to him for some reason.

And no, S2 on reddit stated that the other avatar is separate, not included with the hero.

So much win in one spotlight, you guys really delivered this time And the hero is only half of it; lol'd hard at that HoNeybadger ending and was impressed by that awesome animation, good job.

Prophet looks great; i love supporters so i'll definitely try him out when i get the chance. Bird is the word

I am quite disappointed with the hero and the way S2 handled the 4 week change. Having a second alternate avatar does not compensate the wait at all imo. And the hero... I can say I've seen new mechanics on Hero Draft heroes than this one... I don't even see this as a wind element hero...

[shmoo]

God, rlly they never learn. We expected them to release better heroes and now they just go one and release more alts... pfft, go back to ur 2 weeks schedule, this makes no sense at all.

Serves you punks right for delaying our content for 2 additional weeks.

[[TGCH]Devilsnight]

I agree with shmoo.. If this quality of hero is to be expected then you might as well go back to your 2 week cycle hero release.
What did you exactly spend those 2 extra weeks doing? Just creating another alt and smoothing the spotlight?

[ktz0r]

Heroes won't get better with 2 more weeks inbetween the releases, at least for now, 'cause probably they've already a bunch of heroes almost finished for the upcoming months. And, IMO, S2 already wanted to slow down the production, besides community's desires... It's just a matter of they having a excuse to release more "only new alts week patches" and get more money on bundles and ****.
IE: If there's something they should slow down, it's the alts release. But I know it won't happen 'cause is how they get their incoming and blablabla; bullshit.
I just miss the old days with a few alts, purchasable with silver and gold at reasonable prices.

dat honey badger courier rly need a nerf

Rofl at people complaining, I think the hero looks pretty good, the effects are pretty cool the way the crows fly and how the feathers go around. Also the skills are somewhat original.

[Psychronic]

pretty boring tbh, i wouldn't imagine him in many line ups, sorta like blitz/rift thing

[MudButt17]

Can't please this community. There are multiple reasons for the push back in weeks. More balance patches, more time to get use to heroes, and yes more alts and time to create solid heroes and alts. I find the change to be a great idea. The majority of the community chose this. So stop complaining.

As for the hero. Looks very promising.

[Laramii]

Omg they copied the Cold Snap from Invoker

[shmoo]

The effects are fine, but we just dont need this hero. New heroes should bring something new, which only they own, like new mechanics...

S2, where are heroes like flux or parasite?

PPL were never complaining about the quantity or at least it was not me. It's mostly about the quality... So what are you doing? Faking to listen to your community suddenly, because valve does so actually and reducing hero releases, but those heroes will have now 2 alts just to justifiy a new insane price. Creating alts costs you probably less so you just did the math.

PPL who believe S2 listened to his community must still believe in Santa.

Sounds amazing! Hope he is not batshit op though


Also, does share fate only spread Prophet's spells or any other hero's spell too. So say if a with slayer mini someone, will all other enemies mini too?

One is the EA alt, the other is a normal, non-limited time alt that will also be available this Friday.

This is the lulziest thing I see every single time a new hero is announced. Every time. Does no one consider how a character could be countered when they watch these videos? He appears most likely to be an Int support, meaning that he most likely won't have a considerable amount of Strength, meaning that he should be fairly squish (especially early game). Furthermore, his spells seem decent but rely on his ult to get any big damage out of them (or teammates that aren't stupid, but that's a crapshoot when you're solo-queueing). If he gets silenced or otherwise disabled, he shouldn't be able to get his Shared Fate->Debilitate->Persecution combo out--he should be an early focus in team fights. And if you don't gtfo of that ring when you see him lay it down, what happens in there should be your own damn fault. It is an ult, after all.

And even if he is OP when he comes out, do people truly believe that he will never, ever be rebalanced? Does no one read the Change Logs when you download the new patch (you don't have to answer that, of course they don't)? Heroes who have been around since the beginning got tweaked on this most recent patch--rebalancing is always happening.

[[TDL]TACretAw]

His ulti seems like revenant ulti =/

[SpitFountain]

Nothing unique on this hero. Model its meh! But thats what its supposed to be so people buy the EA edition avatars.

Was expecting more.

Still dont know why S2 doesnt make the DREAM heroes from the community, there are so many good ones that its just a waste of space.
