Gonna see this in the next patchs

Good job.

[Keshoon]

Does it auto-leave both? Is there an option to only auto-leave one?

[Mertsch]

Yes it leaves both and there is no option ...
Since I have never used any chat channel I first made the mod to kill any channel, but I figured that some people might want to keep custom channels

[Cbrad24]

Haha I was just about to make this. Saved me some time =D
Good Job.

Now I can use channel loader and not have all that other clutter=]

I can fix that by making it "hon " instead of "hon" but not today ... maybe tomorrow

I'm doubting very many people actually use this, but I loved it...for 2 days before it got broken by a patch. Or at least it seems to have.

Anyone else having problems and/or any plans to update it if so?

EDIT: Nevermind, tried it again and it's not broken I guess. So...consider this a free bump.

Been using it for a while, great mod.

Nobody ever uses these channels anyways.

I.
Love.
You.

Great workaround until S2 fix it to stop joining a new HoN channel after every game, thanks.

They wont "fix" it, because it's intended. The channels are there so you can discuss a game with your competitors after it ends. If you don't like it, use this.

[Notausgang]

They did at some point mean to fix the bug which causes you to join another "HoN 123" channel after each game, but apparently they failed. These channels wouldn't be as annoying if you only joined one HoN 123 channel at login which wouldn't return until your next login if you close it.
The post-game discussion channels could be quite well accepted, I think, if they were not as detached as they currently are. The "Match Stats" screen automatically appearing after the match is already nice, but it might help having the in-game chat in the Match 1234567 channel.

I guess I should have posted this in the suggestions forum..

@MaxGhost, that doesn't explain the extra "HoN #xx channel" after every ATTEMPT to join a game.

@Mertsch: gj^^

I don't know if it is possible, but maybe you could make a channel only close after nobody talked in that channel for 120 or so seconds.
This way what MaxGhost said was S2 intention would still be possible and they might actually implement this or at least "fix" this issue.
It would also help to ban people (especially if the game was never started) (thinking of ninja pubstompers or retarded 20min afk hosts).

Yeah this is what I meant, I know the Match #xxxx are intended(by S2), but you shouldn't be joining a HoN #xxx for every lobby/game you join.

[SebZor]

Finally, ova all those useless channels. Thanks OP.

Thxxxxxxxxxxxx

[[T3M]Dordanov]

Very nice!

I never ever want to join a HON xxx channel, I just wish S2 would make it optional wether you want to join one after login. And ofcourse fix the bug where you join a new one after every game.

I can see the use for the post-match channels, but I think i have actually only used them once or twice since I started playing, so I'd rather get rid of them as well. I will be using this addon until they implement something like this in the game.

Thanks!
