What's your playstyle? What kind of hero's do you like in HoN?

Also, any particular reason you are deciding to try this game out? :b


1. The "Casual" :)
2. Oh, I support with female heroes mostly XD
3. Well I thought I might just admit to myself that LoL is probably a better game than HoN, thats why so many people play it, so I here I am.

Try Sona then. You have to be somewhat good at poke and positioning, but she's a boatload of fun if you are. Q > Power Chord AA is still one of the most satisfying things to hit for me in the game. More satisfying than perfect Kat/Amumu/Malph ults, and only beaten out by Blitz hooks. Getting to do it repeatedly in the laning phase is too much fun.

Either way, time for some solo queue.

Best noob champion is Garen. Ashe's skills are pretty easy to understand, but because she has no mobility she really punishes any little positioning mistake super hard. Garen is really easy and really fun if your into being a tanky guy with a sword. Run up, q, spin to win, GG.

As for that pic, I probably was a tryhard (except worse) or a faux sage until I realized I needed to chill. Then I became The Casual.

They need at least one more axis to describe what type of player you are, quadz. You fall in-between a couple of them that aren't adjacent.

Is that an old picture of Ashe in the bottom left? She doesn't look very wintry.

Also liking the new Sona splash. It seems like a few need art updates more but are probably low priority if its true they're unpopular (Karma, Poppy, Evelynn, Sion?)

I like how The Incomprehensible has an "Often appears in packs"

I don't think I fit on that scale, since I vary from the troll to the sage to the MIAs lawyer depending on just about everything

Frog is not fatalist. He's pretty solidly in /v/ goer. I'm Fatalist and occasionally tryhard. I agree with bob that Faux Sage is rampant around here.

For mages, I'd say someone like Ahri or Ryze are pretty straightforward and don't have a very high skill cap but ymmv

Tanks are pretty straightforward. Bruisers are fun and pretty straightforward. Garen seems pretty easy.


Garen is by far the easiest character to play short of Sona. Coming from a Garen main.

I play ranked and the like but I stick with Garen solely due to preference. Katarina is a decent starter too, just learn to be opportunistic.

If you want an extremely easy to grasp champion that isn't difficult to pick up, try Karma, Jayce, or Lee Sin.

-Often turns his demeanor on his opponents, trying to undermine their confidence.
I guess I don't understand the name reference though.

For solo queue I am still slash and burn scorched earth, but in normals I have a no-rage policy. No rage, no yelling, no getting worked up over losing normals, trying really hard to avoid making condescending comments. The only negative emotion I display now in normals is disappointment. I try really hard to explain things calmly but I also expect people to know the basic workings of the game, and if they don't, well mild disappointment. :D

Figured you weren't serious. Offer still stands if you ever change your mind.
Good job on quoting all of these people who took the time to offer you help as they have done numerous times with everyone else in this 706 page thread though!
