there are referrals but now you only get silver coins instead of gold coins
you should just make two accounts and refer one so you get the silver coins instead (silver coins are like IP and gold are like RP, i think that's correct)
http://www.heroesofnewerth.com/referral.phpyou get 50 silver coins after you get to lvl 2 (for your skill level that could take 6-10 games), when you get to lvl 5 you get 200 silver coins, you also get silver coins for wins/losses/kills/assists/wards/more stuff, you earn about 10-12 coins a game
heroes cost 65 to 650 silver coins, so it takes a while to unlock a hero
-match making has a 5% leave threshold, so keep that in mind when you want to leave (MM is the only way you can earn silver coins)
-most people don't ward in basic, so having map vision is very powerful (wards also give you silver coins)
-there's a little question mark button that you can hover over at the top of the post game stats page that tells you how many coins you earn per achievement (wins, losses, etc...)
-since there are denies in HoN, you should focus on getting gold over denies, if there are 2 low creeps, always go for the one that gets you gold over going for the deny
-dont get a hatchet on a melee hero, even though the top rated guide recommends it and it's in the recommended items
-the safest build on melee is,
hp pot, runes of the blight (tangoes), stout shield, 2 minor totems (gg branch), and 1 mana potion
-ring of the teacher is amazing at pushing towers, get it as most people dont buy it in basic, just remember to turn it off when you aren't pushing
-if you're going mid, dont get a bottle first, get regen and stat items then buy a bottle
-no one is going to play with you unless they are also another LoLser
-roop/rooping/rooped is a Swedish word that means having gay anal sex without lube
