Re: Heroes of Newerth

I'm pretty sure I won't pre-order but I"ll just pick it up regularly if it sells well and gets a good community.

Re: Heroes of Newerth

I inconvenienced the clan with my terrible pharaoh all the way to a big L

Still more fun to play with people you are familiar with IMO, regardless of result

Re: Heroes of Newerth

The stats system blows. Occasionally playing with some friends who are decent at dota, team balance was around 25:75 and our opponents got rogere'd within 20 minutes. On the other hand I'm getting kicked out of games for having a low PSR but otherwise I'm running sth like K/D/A 2.5/1/3 after 50 games crushing most of them but half of the time my noob team fails badly or disconnects. Still I enjoy it but the pathing is so s***, hooked a couple of heroes, they got grabbed till the edge of the cliff and escaped through the river, so hilarious. And some heroes are plain imba, ah well it's a beta....

Re: Heroes of Newerth

This game is evil. I may quit it just because I never play poker anymore.

I'm getting pretty sick of the douchebags.

Re: Heroes of Newerth

Meh. You never play with me anyway.

My rating sucks now. I basically never want to play without a team of friends again.

Re: Heroes of Newerth

just played LoL last night ... holy crap is it bad. I had high hopes for it too. There are a couple of nice features to it, and i like that its all new heroes and new items, but wow, i hate the UI and the controls of the game.

still cant seem to enjoy HoN as much as Dota.

There is so much less strategy in LOL than in HON. Hardly any coordination is needed with stun/aoe/nuke/tanking etc, mostly because you can push your damage so high that you can blow up people too quick -- there's no chain stuns/slow or that type of thing necessary (or path blocking, etc).

It is kinda cool that all the heroes are new, but holy god the balance is so awful. It just seems like such an individual game. Plus the graphics are subpar and I think they need to "speed up" the game slightly.
