Anyone wanna do a 1v1 or 2v2 game and help me learn the basics?
Ive played a couple games and im terrible.

I like glacius and pyromancer, and hammerguy (the strength hero).
Those are my top 3.

What I need help with:
Reccomended Heroes for beginers + gear + gameplay.
Some practice games with friends willing to go easy on me + teach basics.
A friendly\fun time playing HoN.


I suppose I can give some fg's for your time\help :)

well i hate teaching noobs, but the best suggestions i can give you is take all the critism you get, and watch high skilled replays ( clanwars and stuffs )
as long you are willing to learn, you will get better and better

Best hero for noobs is any hero; Play AR or SD for your first games, you learn almost every hero, and that is better than just picking the one hero you like.

Always make sure your health is over half if you're in a lane.

Always check minimap to see if anyone from other lanes are missing, specifically middle if you are top or bot, but if you are in mid, check both top and bot, if someone from your lane is missing, tell your team and make sure you're careful because chances are they will just pop out of the jungles and kill you, especially if it's a hero with a stun or disable that is missing.

Get wards, learn to ward, best spot for wards are up the top of the hills near the rune spawn areas, as you can see anyone incoming for a gank, leaving to go for a gank and the rune, which is a huge advantage, illusion, haste, double damage, all can change a team fight that you could have won, into a loss. Even regeneration if used properly can, say you get a hero on low health, it looks like he is running back to base, he drinks his regen rune out of his bottle, and you're on half health, now chasing a hero with full health, bad - So warding is VERY necessary, for EVERY game.

Don't go into a lane by yourself unless all 5 of the other teams' heroes are on the map, if 2 are missing, it's a terrible idea, if they have 1 missing, and it just so happens to be their carry or ganker, you're probably still screwed, or you could just get gayed over in the lane if you run into a lane with a disabler/stunner.

A lot more to it, but those are the main things you should really worry about, try and stay alive basically, but you also need to help out your team, unless it's a situation where one idiot ran into 3 or 4 of the other team, and expects you to help, that's a terrible idea and you shouldn't do it.

You should check out some guides on the official HoN forums, there's a great youtube video, I can't find it now but I will post it here, it helps new players A LOT.

No problem, thanks man :) If you need help anytime PM me on JSP, I'm happy to help really, need some better players in HoN for all the future people in pubs, I personally hate joining a pub and having someone totally clueless running into such obvious situations on half life.

In my opinion, you should play No Stats games until you get a bit better, will save you the trouble of rage + you'll have good stats later on when you think you're ready to play a stats game.

So just play No Stats, random or SD. Don't play EM either haha
