One thing to remember about the DoTA community is that, early on at least, it was made up of people who were so awful at WC3 that they couldn't play ladder without getting their ass kicked, even in multiplayer (and it is generally considered that anything more than 2x2 is a no skill game - the imporant ladders have always been 1x1, 2x2 and FFA, though FFA is disputable as there's a lot of luck involved, and so skill only shows up when averaging a lengthy series). There were many of those, especially because lots of players couldn't get their head around the very simple idea that many of the stronger builds and classes couldn't win an upfront fight, but worked on hit-n-run tactics, or that you can't afford to just throw away ghouls and footman and expect to be even come lategame. Then they'd go 'oh, there must be some special combination of units', because they couldn't comprehend simple 'scout and counter'. Early DoTA was full of those players - have a dive into the WC3 custom map community, or the 4x4 matches, and see how similar the community there is to the DoTA community. I suspect that may have set the trend, with the DoTA community well being poisoned as a result:-(

KC is loved by the masses
pretty good post KC. Maybe those tards will realize that 3 carries on 1 team is a bit too much.
I wouldn't get my hopes up though.

Haha. FINALLY.
Team matchup:
Pollywog Priest (me)
Bane succubus? (my friend)
Pestilence
Blacksmith
Swiftblade (complete noob who spent 4 minutes trying to figure out how to buy items then left when we flamed him enough)
Enemy Team:
Bloodhunter
Chronos
Scout
Queen of Pain (whatever shes called)
Luna
Luna and Bloodhunter are both easy as fuck heroes to play with I Win Button ults, both in DotA and HoN, but they were still so fucked. 4 AGI and Queen of Pain (who is kind of an underpowered crappy hero) against nukers and gankers and pushers. Final score was something like 37-14. 8 of those kills were by bloodhunter. That hero is just ridiculous, honestly, he was pissing me off in DotA today too. Then again, Bane is probably THE most easy hero to play ever 1v1 or 1v2 or even 1v3. Enfeeble1 , nightmare2, sap3, grip3.

Good god. What did they do to Bane?
This is the old Bane
This is the new Bane
Only instead of using a whip she throws...pink devil fork blasts, you know like cartoon devils hold.
I have to say though that the new Queen of Pain looks really, really good.

The new Queen of Pain, Wretched Hag, is definitely one of the coolest models in the game now, though.

I had to put it down for a while. Broken characters not getting fixed + spectacularly retarded people in pubs was wearing me thin.
I don't care how new you are, even if you've never played an RTS before in your life, it should take you all of 15 seconds to find the shop. You might buy something retarded, but going 30 minutes without buying anything because it's your first game isn't an excuse. Ditto with people not knowing the basics of what their skills do because they can't be assed to read the tooltips. These people are so stupid I could kill them by placing a woodchipped in their bedroom, with full warning labels. And they defend themselves by saying it's only a game, as though being a retard is somehow acceptable as long as you aren't performing brain surgery or something, and wasting 30 minutes of 9 other peoples lives doesn't make you a total ass if they can't physically throttle you for it.

Since I started playing +1650 games it got really better. Less r-tards, less agi carries, actual teamwork, you name it.
It's not possible in all games but last few games were really good. Some of them we lost but simply by being outplayed and not because of a leaver/dumbass. Nothing wrong in that I think.
As for braindead players - I can't imagine playing multiplayer, competetive game without any info about it, without reading guides, hero strats, item builds and so on. These shitheads should be kicked because 10 minutes into the game and 8 deaths is not a good sign for your team.
There is much qqing on the hon forum right now, mainly about elitist pricks who flame and kick newbs who dont have a clue ( even in noob games ). Appaarently newbs confuse noobs only games with no brain function games.
I have never played dota, started hon few weeks ago and having ~200 games played I consider myself not even a skilled player. I often do stupid things and learning all the time. The problem is, I'm trying to get better while those r-tards play 3 games, get kicked 2 times and raped some more and start throwing shit at the forum how this game is noob unfriendly. Go figure.

So are more people playing HoN, or are most playing DotA here? My HoN account is zhandao

you probably forgot to install dx9 or the visual c++ 2005 runtime or something. or you got a bad XP disc. personally i would never use a cracked copy...
