[quote]No it wouldn't. Let's not start talking out of our ass. All of the horn's behavior is scripted and thus easily accesible.[/quote]By all means if it's easy for them to fix then I'm all for a fix. I've read that the rank 3 monk idol bug, valor/mana flag bug, and a number of others are also simple scripting issues and yet they persist, so if like the others they can't fix this one in a reasonable amount of time I'd settle for the path of least resistance.

[quote]In another week you will have everything in the game listed in this thread. You can't balance by community consensus.

I mean really if you use rank 1 hammer slam and hit four targets that's 2k damage, a 1500 mana return. Even minus the mana cost of the ability which is still charged you get more than enough mana to slam again. A bou

[quote]reduce cost of HoL, who uses it now?[/quote]What would be a fair price? Maybe 10k? Honestly even at 8k I think it would be overpowered in its current state. It's just such a goofy item at the moment. Demigoddb hasn't updated it so just off the top of my head (look at how well that worked last time) I think it's 4500 hp/mana over 10 seconds? However the +mana is affected by % mana so it ends up being 1k mana per second for most people, meaning 3-5 seconds and you

Being able to temporarily hold a lane against two DGs is a critical design concept for the rook. If that changes then he needs to be able to chase, escape, and build up momentum as quickly as other DGs. That means major, major revamps to pretty much every aspect of him. Bottom line is the kind of revisions it would take to make a rook who can't temporarily hold a lane against two characters still playable isn't going to happen in the near future. Currently Rook has the most interestin

[quote who="Spooky" reply="16" id="2312241"] Quoting Obscenitor, reply 14I have one for the list (maybe). Last patch when you joined the queue for pantheon/skirmish it told you how many people were in queue. Now it says that you are the only player in queue no matter what, up until the moment you are able to get matched successfully with other players.That's already in the list.[/quote]Whoops, I read through it a couple times and didn't see it :/

Sedna needs an anti-minion build Inner Grace should increase Yeti damage by 10% per level This multiplier should come AFTER +damage items so that Yetis have improved scaling to balance out their diminished numbers a bit. Wild swings redesigned, Yetis either have a 50% chance to knock small units into the air or a 10% chance to deal 1.5x damage. Yetis should do splash damage at

Eliminate proxies and you splinter the community and crush the game, period. Really, really pay attention to how many people are proxied on this game. There's one or more in virtually every game I play, and oftentimes it's me. My lag problems are so infrequent that there's no reason why I would conclude it's a proxy issue.

[quote]Actually I'm not. I'm proving a point which you actually seem to support from your post.

Just an update, I had a really fun game against a very competitive premade a few mintues ago, and it was because they were willing to kick a player who clearly had no place being in that lobby. I REALLY think that the short-term solution to the premade issue is to make a player's win/loss/disconnect record visible in lobbies. This would change the nature of pub stomps dramatically. If team lobbies and automatching are a long ways off on the horizon and in-game stats are

There's one other point that hasn't been brought up yet. Sometimes when I join a premade game titled something like "pros only" and someone who's on a 14 loss streak (sadly that number isn't made up) the host will just kick them. When the next noob joins he gets kicked too, and so on and son on. Eventually we get get two other pugs with decent stats and have a good game, or at least a nice shot at one. This is exactly what happened about a week ago and eventually my
