Hi guys,

Ive been playing different games but I try to focus everything on HoN now since I dont have alot of free time.
What modes/ things you do to make the game more fun?
I tried to let go the MMR farm thinking, this makes games more fun even if u lose.
At the moment I enjoy buying new accounts for ~3.5 euro's and boosting them to ~1700, this is as far as i can get soloQing.

Long story short: What do YOU do to keep the game fun and diverse !

troll and beat smurfs to ruin their accounts or subs and get em mad
beating them can be just as fun as throwing or feeding if u r on same tim

going dual mid with tryhards is just as fun specially if they are 1800+
just call mid when game starts and u will get called on it for ur stats or mmr
1800+ players says no way im letting 17xx with xx kdr mid then u say don't worry i'll do fine
he will still come mid with u because his e-peen suffers and when this happens just do the following
-ruin his last hits and when he gets bottle take all the runes
-do not help him or harass other mid
-pretend u r playing good just miss ur stuns or go dive and give their mid kills
-try and annoy him in voice chat and if he mutes u just troll him in chat but don't say anything that can get u banned

if u r support don't get any wards and try and kill the courier (killing it can be tricky to make it look like a mistake but it's doable)
when u get called on for not warding just find excuses (need 100 for boots i ward after)
or if ur other support buys 2x ward start and tells u to up courier say u do it by the time mid has bottle but by then make sure u spend ur gold and not have enough so u can use it as excuse
this is win/win for u because either other support will keep warding or ur mid will lose early game and rune control and this gives their mid good chance to gank as well
alternatively u can start late warding after u lose map control and place wards in stupid locations

remember, the main goal is to play dumb and stupid because if people realize u r trolling they will not respond and get mad

I think everytime i play this game. You're on my team.

haha I love you man, was nice to read.
will try this^^

has HoN really gotten this bad?

Dota2 was right not to include stats. Also the MM system there is more sophisticated once you get a decent amount of games.

i only play 2 man in hon, rarely more i either go carry/mid or my friend does same and we only throw when we got tryhards in team
i dont like dota 2 because there is no courier and i like going mid plus people at start are terribad, i've had many games of 2-3 people going 1-10+
only way i would play dota2 is with 3 or more people to stomp first games and i don't have friends who play it

no cour at start is how the game is meant to be played. it's dumb to give a team not smart enough to invest 200 gold at the start for courier an advantage for no reason

also the first few games are dota are loleasy because everyone is awful. just go mid with gyrocopter, farm shadowblade -> rapier, fountaincamp their team for 100+ kills, rinse and repeat until you're in higher bracket

in theory its doable but there is no incentive for me to do that

courier is 150 tho in dota2? i went mid and got my own courier only to see it delivering 1xmana and 1xhealth pot to long lane
when i wanted to get bottle the courier was already halfway through which really turned me off plus how retarded is autosharing it?
even in hon i sometimes get my own courier just so i can use it whenever i want and not lose my items because of some noob

i play games in hon varying from 1500-1800 and i can tell u ppl would in most cases get courier if there wasn't one
they also get 2x wards at start to block camp+ward rune and even the thrashest scrub can somewhat lasthit and farm in hon
i went on lane 3 times in dota and the guy i was laning with kept autoattacking

the mm system sucks in dota and i like hon one more plus in hon u can play verified game without having tryhards or smurfs or random noobs in lower brackets
there should be a better system in both games tho but it's not that easy to implement a good one however some of the things that should count for it would be
-kdr (i know it's overrated but still it would be a big filter towards feeders)
-last hitting and gpm
-supporting with wards/ganking and assisting
-general map awarness knowing when to fight/tp who to sutn etc... (this is kinda impossible to implement tho)

if all these would be taken into consideration it would be easier to filter bads from the rest and not have to play like 50 games or w/e to get to a decent bracket
also based on these if people do good they should be getting more rating or points or whatever compared to say somebody who feeds or a support that doesn't ward and has very few assists
