Holy fairy fuckin godmother...
Normally, I'm a tolerant person, I have nothing against where people come from, I dont even dodge Koreans! I certainly dont have anything against players from certain countries... But as of late when playing HoN EVERY SINGLE TIME someone does the following:
Joins the game, picks shit heros (lets say you have Sand Wraith, Panda, Predator and Witch Slayer, the last picker, who didnt talk at all during the rest of the picking process, suddenly picks Scout or whatever pr0 aw3som3 hero that you know would be shit in this situation.
He proceeds to not talk at all during the game, communicating only through pings on the minimap, generally usually plays quite good, has good mechanics, never get hit by javelins/hooks, manage a good amount of dodging against Torturer/Pyromancer. But continuously ignores playing with the team, often goes of to farm when the other 5 enemies are pushing etc...
Eventually when it's time to concede, NEVER votes yes, and after a few votes prints out his first message of the game:
Russja no quit, play finish!
Suddenly his english improves, he starts spouting out "nobo tema" which i guess means noob team, and similar in barely understandable english. Not realizing that often they put us in a really shitty situation, ending up with some awesome lane like Devourer + Scout or the similar.
After a while you start taking a quicker route, asking "rus?" as soon as you suspect he might not speak english often nets you a DA, and then you can just watch him do his thaaang, because "RUSSIA LISTENS TO NOONE" and so on.
I'm at a point now where I really dislike playing with russians, when I see people pick shitty heroes, asking "rus?" or "ru?" almost invariably nets me a da or a yes.
My favorite one was probably when I asked him why he made such a bad pick at the onset of the game, where he responded: "I'm RUSSIA, russia no1 at dota".
And this is only the ones who are bad at english, dont even get me started at the ones who can fully communicate with their team, yet chooses not to, because "russians are the better players always" etc.
Oh, and keep a lookout for Scouts and Zephyrs. You might just have a russian.
Yes, I am aware that not all russians are like this, however I wont sugarcoat it, alot of them are, and they represent a clear majority of the players acting like this, this behaviour is scarce among non-russians you encounter in HoN.

people concede way too early, and way too often
it's common to see multiple people try to concede after one lost team fight

Haha, what if it's just a group of trolls who thought it funny to give Russia a bad name?

You misspelled Brazilians multiple times in your blog

I'm not russian, and I tend to play Scout (or any other carry) when I hit him in SD. I just don't trust others in public games to carry good enough for me to play support.

Yeah, I'hve heard americans have similar experiences (whoah, almost wrote problems) with brazilians.

lol sounds just like the russians in dota, they truly are koreans.

I can't stand it when people say, "WHAT I DIED WHAT WAS THAT NO ONE CALL MIS??? NOOBS!!!?"
I never call misses, nor should I think you have to. Look at the minimap, it takes all of half a second, and HoN isn't apm intensive that you don't have half a second to look at it. People who complain about not calling misses are just sad. They need someone to look at the minimap, and then tell them what they can easily find themselves.

uh yeah, if you look at the minimap and you see a color missing do you just always b to your tower?
you need people to call miss as enemy heroes are in fog and it's much easier for the person in the actual lane to call missing rather than you looking at the minimap tracking all other heroes. dota/hon are team games and you need to tell your team when there is a possibility of them getting ganked. esp when you are mid you can give valuable info on whether the other hero has the rune and where they are gong etc.

I agree wholeheartedly with HoN being a team game. That's why whenever you play in random rooms, the team that communicates the most wins. But calling misses shouldn't be an excuse to people getting ganked. Next time you play, look at the minimap every 10 seconds. That will be more than enough for you not to get ganked, and you will notice patterns of when to push which lanes and when not to.
Calling misses is one of the essential things in regards to communicating w/ your team, but I don't think that should ever be an excuse. Everyone should be keeping an eye on it.

I agree that it's no excuse, heck, 2/3 times I call a miss, people die anyway, and 1/10 you STILL get a "WTF NO MISS NOOB GG YO CONCEDE".
But not doing it is just stupid, I hope I never have to play with you.

heh yeah but you dont play hon, it's ridiculous how many 15 minute or 20 minute concedes there are. it's on a whole nother level from what i used to do in TL IH dota. tbh a big part of me wanting to FF in those games is mostly because I couldn't stand playing such passive, boring games any longer.

So far we got bad manner east on battle.net, imbalaced koreans in starcraft, chinese gold farmers in wow, 12 year olds on xbox live, russian idiots in HoN, and (there was another one for Dota, I forget). There is always 1 scape goat universally disliked group of people(s) online.
|
That's basically just like russians are on ICCUP (dota).
They mostly talk only in russian and between themselves.
|
Dude, you haven't played with filipinos on HoN, wow they're exactly like the russians you mentioned except they don't know how to play and respond in their own language which they think you understand....
|
on uswest, we have an infestation of filipeanos, we have to put "no pinoy" in the name of the game because we always get a scout or night hound ricing pinoy that will continually type "aw", "awts", "xD", "pinoy ako?" all game

The other day I played a game where my 4 teammates were mexican (or some other central/southern american country) and yelling shit in spanish the whole entire game. I caught a few words here and there and I kept trying to type random funny shit in throughout the game (cause I know a few words).
|
I don't know if you're hiding under a rock or not but zephyr is the most overpowered hero in HoN as of the latest patch. So if they pick Zephyr, it probably isn't a russian. Just saying.

What's wrong with scout? I think against carries/some spell casters, he's quite strong. It's just about roaming into the right place and knowing how to instantly silence your enemies.
Of course, a team with brains will ward as much space on the map as possible, and then put you down when you're roaming. - -

Yep! Russians never quit.

haha this sounds awfully familiar...
I'm usually like this in pub games yeah! Just gotta understand sometimes your teamwork is not in the same level as opponent or they just are more skilled. So ya gotta avoid the battles and farm if your carry. And by late game with an average team you have a fighting chance rather than keep losing in team fights.
|
you forgot about thais and pinoys (phillipinos) they do the same thing.

I had a bad experience with Russians in Lineage 2.
"ti rus?" "syka" "dai adens plixx" "xaxaxaxa"
Never played with any Russians in HoN though since all of my games are on either JPN, SEA or sometimes USW when I really want to play a game with those who actually communicate (in other words, to play with those who speak/understand English).
Scout is a decent hero when the player doesn't just totally rely on the fact that he's invisible (and when they enemy got ward/dust/gem, starts feeding them kills and make lame excuses such as "but they got eye!"). Scout with good teamwork can do seriously massive damage.
And about calling missing heroes, well I personally always look at the mini-map while playing (habit from playing SC). But I call missing whenever I can, I even call missing for lane which I'm not on. Basically if i only see 2 dots on the screen I'll be like "3 missing".

Brazilians in FPS games are just as bad if not worse
ping 200+ every time, asking where to find hacks, accusing everyone who kills them of hacking (ironic eh), spamming BR???? with macros until they find someone Brazilian.

I hate when people go:
"I don't have anything against anyone, I love every country BUT..."
What's a HoN btw, this is a Starcraft website lol

Heroes of Newerth. It's a dota-clone made by s2games. Therefore, the biggest thread on TL "discusses" dota as well as HoN, and was renamed as such. The sports and games forum contains threads about games other than StarCraft.
