To be fair, the HoN guys try to seperate the veteran and noob community by certain matchmaking restrictions (has something to do with successful players not being able to join games containing noobs or so). By the way, how is LoL compared to HoN or DotA? Graphics seem worse than HoN. Does this game improve in any way on the DotA gameplay?

[quote who="pseudomelon" reply="1" id="2314559"] The buildings and catapults can't be hit by spells because that's how DotA worked--because that's how WC3 rolled. It doesn't have to make sense as much as be totally similar to DotA. Trying to sneak into the enemy base and blow up a couple buildings, a.k.a., Backdooring, is highly frowned upon by the DotA community. Thus, buildings are invincible until you have (in dota) killed the towers in front of them or (in HoN,

I played a bit more with HoN and even submitted some bugs ... and then I found out that they were features .......... You know Demigod or any other RTS game, ok? Soon after release some balance changes happen, often leaving the cool parts nerfed. Not HoN! HoN is nerfed from the start!! For example: You have to destroy the enemy buildings, right? So it makes perfect sense to ... make buildings immune to hero spells. Got

[quote who="kryo" reply="12" id="2313423"]It's entirely feasible from a general point of view (we've done them before for GC2, Sins, etc, where the main channel gets muted and moderators gather questions from a second channel), but whether one would be productive with Demigod at this point is hard to say, given the tone a lot of people tend to be taking of late.[/quote] There you have it, guys: It's all YOUR fault.

[quote who="pseudomelon" reply="15" id="2313263"]I'm going to have to agree with Shadow; most of the recommended changes are rather silly, and show why balancing a game can be so damned difficult. As an example, I would disagree with all of the Erebus nerfs. He's hardly my favorite character, I'm more of a Rook guy myself, but he's simply not OP. Batswarm is not only an escape, it's an EXPENSIVE escape. 700 mana at level 5 is nothing to sneeze at, and often means that after you run

[quote]Grasp needs[/quote][quote who="Busdude" reply="18" id="2312421"]Total bullshit. It is literally impossible to drive a Rook away from a flag if he has 3 or more towers up at it by yourself, and even with an ally, it can be frustrating. Don't tell me to stack armor, I do stack it, they still do roughly 80-85 damage a hit (it's like 115-120 without stacked armor) and they have attack almost once a second. It takes about 7-10 auto-attacks to bring one down, and in that time, you'll probabl

Regarding the zoom feature of HoN: You CAN zoom farther out by the use of console commands. But zoom out too far (that would by about standard height for Rook players) and the play zone gets overlaid with black patches ... either an engine limitation or another option I don't know about yet. Anyway, if anyone suggests in a thread at the HoN forums to implement a zoom feature akin to Demigod then you get usually involved in a one sided scream contest against DotA fundamentalists:

[quote]This is funny to me: Also, I'm not looking for single-skill complaints - everyone knows by now that QoT's Tribute skill sucks (at level 15 at least) - but rather how the overall performance of a demigod skilling strategy compares to the rest of the game. And yet your list is a line-by-line opinion about how you would design each skill. That really has nothing to do with overall performance of a demigod.

It's a nice bonus when using SoF, but little more than that, and certainly not anyones first choice in a game where you're having troubles fighting other DGs. You could argue that DJ is simply meant for improving farming, but Oak doesn't really have any specific issues with that as it is righ
