Conclusion:I will never play a ranged AD carry in a ranked solo queue again. I got a quadra as corki and was 10-3. We still lost because nobody could peel off of me long enough to flash over a wall. I had a banshees, and even a thornmail to stop the trynd. Ended 14-8, and lost. [/sadface]

QSS > Thornmail on Corki I'd think, they can only kill you if they can catch you and you don't have enough HP to make thornmail too much of a deterrent.

where is the hon thread

[Mastermind of Sin]

HoN thread is here.

[Timeater]

i c wat u did there

enjoy your kiddie game, kids.

i'll be busy playing a real game in prep for dota 2

[Mastermind of Sin]

lolololololol DotA 2 looks like a crap game, you realize that right? Guinsoo and Pendragon are the only guys who ever truly innovated this genre. Everyone else is just copying off of them.

*holds fingers together devilishly as I prepare to turn this thread into a massive trollfest*

But seriously. Hon is better. There has to be some hon players in the hizzouse. You cant ALL be LoLkids. Thats just too terrible to contemplate.

[Ant_to_the_max]

HoN *SHOULD* have been what DotA 2 is going to be.

But they managed to screw everything up, so now Valve has their chance. And from all the info so far, it has been done right.

LoL made its own niche for itself. It is not DotA and they didn't want it to be. I just couldn't get into it.

[Chronopie]

LoL simplified the interfaces, removed the deny mechanic, and rebalanced health/defense/offensive.

It's more of a team game now, whereas HoN is a game where you try to get one player fed to godlike proportions and watch them 1v5

and win.

[TheButtonmen]

Adding AP is imo what LoL did right.

You are an even worse troll than Otolia

[Ankamius]

There is no way I will ever play HoN ever again. I have yet to meet a worse community. At least LoL's community can be tolerated.

Yea, DotA/HoN/DotA 2 will always be about the 1v5. I remember back in the day it was always Bone Fletcher with the fucking teleport boots taking out the whole team while his teammates baited for him. Pretty dumb shit.

Soraka is getting kicked IN THE TESTICLES.
http://www.leagueofreplays.com/redpost. ... S#12948349
Her cd on her heal is now DOUBLE what it was
ap ratios nerfed out the ass
Sona looks like she's gonna be alot better than soraka now.

[Mastermind of Sin]

Sona already is a lot better than Soraka. Even DPS Soraka.

How long have you played Mobas? You look like someone who started with LoL, otherwise there's no way you could have made a post filled with so much wrong.

Dota 2 will do better because they have experienced and far stronger developers on the job.

[ortolan]

the whole DotA/LoL phenomenon is an example of guys taking a game (sc,wc3,sc2) and dumbing it down sufficiently that the unwashed masses can indulge their compulsion for tedium on a nightly basis. It's an example of making obscene amounts of profit from the Lowest Common Denominator. It's what Mumford and Sons are to the music industry.

Interesting stuff about the sustain changes that they are focusing on next.

Hello Community!

In the spirit of sharing information I would like to give you all a preview of the support portion of the sustain remake that we are gradually pushing out to solve the sustain problems. The goal of the changes was to lower total healing per second, while trying to retain the saving power of the heals, or even increasing them. In the cast of some characters who suffer from lacking of things to do due to cooldowns, we've given much more power to their other abilities, and made them more frequently castable.

Once again a disclaimer: These changes are not final until they're live, and may be subject to change, please do not use this against me as I would love to continue this exchange of information.

** AP Ratio reduced to .25 from .35
** Now grants double her passive aura bonus to her heal target and herself for 3 seconds.

* Fixed a bug where Hymn of Valor and Aria of Perseverance caused her to deal 20% reduced damage

* Reduced the lockout time while casting Sona's songs to make them more responsive.

More coming soon when I get the info. I don't have information on the other healers yet.

[pickemgenius]

LMAO, I started playing DotA 8 years ago...you *do* realize that DotA was *created* by the guys who founded Riot, right?

DotA 2 will be a more well-made game in the form of less bugs, because Valve is a bigger and more developed studio. But they just don't have the experience with Mobas that Riot has, and rebooting an exact copy of DotA is old hat.

a) It's already been done
b) The first time it was rebooted, it sucked
c) The Moba genre has evolved past DotA. We don't need to go back into the Stone Age.
d) DotA was a great game, but it had a lot of issues that have since been solved in terms of gameplay, mechanics, and interface. If DotA 2 doesn't acknowledge and take advantage of these improvements, it's going to suck.

That said, DotA 2 will be a relatively successful game, and it will be good competition for LoL. But that's because there are plenty of nerdraging kids out there who can't get past the fact that LoL changed things from DotA and made it different, and so they've been playing HoN until they could go back to DotA all over again. The only way that DotA 2 will truly become a good game is if they learn from LoL and truly innovate their product. A simple reboot won't cut it.
