Andromeda casts aurora on Jereziah to reveal the area and give vision on him. Not particularly a bad choice considering Parasite was in range at the time to do poo poo. The minotaur camp got aggroed onto Andromeda because of the aurora and as the team ran by it warstomped and stunned the entire group.

We're a couple, when our bodies double.


Decided to play HoN for the first time since beta. Queue up and... game crashes. Open back up, I got matched with someone, and my interface is telling me to log in and beeping that I need to select a champion to either ban or pick, I don't know, while I can't actually pick anything or read chat.


This is a great first impression.

Tremble is also a solid pick for carrying yourself out of lower brackets, hes a strong mid hero/ganker/carry/pusher. Shudder can backdoor towers and rax pretty easily, and you can constantly do that if you hide mounds behind the trees near each tier 2 tower (except for legions bot, but try putting a mound on their ward cliff then, next to the hard camp).

i really like tremble as a semi carry slow bitch using the slow to whoever the carry decides to focus. Sols and vanguard.

edit: I went ring of the teacher first with 2 mana pots, got like a 7 min hand of midas, and it was just a flood of gold from there on. Maxed trees first, passive 2nd, with 1 lvl of invis for safety

14 assists. But the 16/4/8 chronos and 8/3/17 arma only had 360 gpm. The other team was pretty bad anyways, but still, 520gpm in normal mode with 2 kills is pretty boss for me, considering I'm 1450ish

Had a really fun game with Devo last night. The nice thing about lower brackets is people don't seem to dodge hooks. Anyway I bring a ward up with me to block the pull camp top lane. Like an idiot I place it too far out and the drat creeps still spawn. This ends up having the unintended consequence of being able to see exactly what Ra is doing when he pulls the camp and starts farming the creeps.

Devo is like the most rewarding hero to hit skill shots with. Valk and Gauntlet are close seconds.

I love to take devo to legion bot lane and blood lust in the trees, most lower players will never rune or hatchet out because they panic after being hooked into a tower with no place to go.

The best part about Devo is when you play in pubs and miss one hook. Regardless of how you've performed previously or will perform subsequently, you are ripped to shreds for the remainder of the game for missing a hook.

YOu mean on 64 bit? Only bizarre issue I've seen on 64-bit has happened to me fairly often since 2.5 but may be hardware related: sometimes hero skins and effect textures are replaced with checkerboards, but only a single hero or ability. E.g. nomad looking black and white stretched over his model, with his sandstorm looking like a bunch of little squares, or the minimap ping not appearing, or BH looking like I described Nomad and the little bloodsense icon on the minimap looking like a black and white checkerboard square instead of a red outline.

Doesn't even seem to be consistent between games, like I'll notice it one game and not the next, but I might be restarting in between and have forgotten about that.

vvv I'm a little suspect of that because while this card is old (Sapphire Radeon HD4890) it runs things like Skyrim at 1080p without any texture bugs whatsoever, it only happens in HoN, and it's only happened since 2.5. It doesn't actually impede anything, it's just weird sometimes since it makes affected heroes kinda look like Shadowblade. At the same time, I seem to be the only person experiencing this, so time to go digging. Also, I'm still using my beta install of hon and it's on a harddrive that I know is dying, so maybe some textures are just caching into video memory as corrupt or something. More curious if anyone else has hit this since 2.5.

The best part of afk-farming your way into a guaranteed loss is how angry your teammates get. Especially the 1-11-7 rampage (pink) who got his one and only kill at around level 6 or 7.

And then the inevitable "I WASN'T TRYING".

Also, this sequence of events:
*is at Kongor* We probably can't kongor because they know we're here. Oh look, here they are. We should back up.
*starts backing away safely and then blinks into enemy team 2 seconds later*
WHY DIDN'T YOU COME.
You yourself said to back up.
YOU COULD STILL HAVE COME.

Also I've never been able to chat in spectator mode like ever, for neither friend-spectator or general-spectator (from lobby games). I think it's a bad interaction with BardUI but I'm not really willing to give up BardUI just to be able to chat so if anyone's heard of a fix for this I'd appreciate it.

To cut the story short I can't stop Scout free farm, and get mock ruthlessly for building a puzzlebox.

Well because you should be, puzzlebox isn't that good of an item for Warbeast. Just the two heroes you listed should have been mauled in 2-3 hits if you went a standard build with him. Puzzlebox minions are too loving slow to catch almost every hero if they're smart and ignore them and run off. Warbeasts entire shtick is his high mobility. Having a Savage mace, Icebrand and a Shrunken makes you almost unstoppable when it comes to ganks. Most of which will be on low hp carries or intelligence heroes you can maul before they can even beg for help.
