And really who does account boosting hurt? Shit if I had the cash I would pay Testie 100 dollars to boost me to 2000PSR. Then I would go play a couple games, get destroyed, and end up back at 1600 where I belong. This blog is disgusting, it's not like the guy is throwing matches or ghosting in public tournaments. I love watching his stream and I'm sure many many others do. There's no telling how many people bought HoN just because they saw how awesome it is on Testie's stream. | ||

2. Ringer....... again every team does it except in lans... except ok,rea,dskb,msi and eg... why dont hey do it well because those guys are always together, they are mostly always available, but members of dwi, lion, sk etc have 2 work and others....... It was a bad move but its not like no team does it you know? | ||

if the people that bought the account boosting played the accounts, they'll eventually just fall back to their regular psr OR regular league appropriate for their skill level anyways.

It was a bad move but its not like no team does it you know? not that i really care about either side, but 'everyone does it' is never an excuse. re: ancients, i kinda completely disagree there. from what it seems like, that wasn't a league match or anything, and if it's not against the rules, do it. if it's bad enough, it'll get patched. jungles aren't equal on both sides (you can pull twice (sometimes 3x, spawns permitting) on scourge safe lane, but only once on sent safe lane. is that fair? no. is it banned? only partially, and nobody seems to care about the part that's not banned. you can (spawns permitting) pull into scourge mid and sent mid, but for some reason only the sent pull is banned (correct me if i'm wrong). ditto for ancients issue. scourge is just a better pulling jungle, but sentinel has a better stacking jungle (you can triple stack with no boots with any ranged hero on sent, but not on scourge), and yet nobody's banning that stacking advantage. makes no sense, if its that gamebreaking, abuse it and let it get patched (like the 3rd pull on scourge safe although it's not completely fixed). i really don't like tourney rules like that /shrug | ||

I was expected two full images of him raging all over you, but alas it was just a normal mundane ragefest on both sides. Not thread-worthy imho The screenshots were public a while ago.

You've skewed the course of the dialogue before anyone even opens the thread. I don't know enough about this scene to really understand the ramifications of the things you've presented in this thread, but from an outsider's perspective it kinda seems like a hatchet job. | ||

Testie is the target of this rage because he has a past history and he is a big representative of the scene. I am not saying he has to be a perfect angel but with HON taking a nosedive I could certainly understand people being upset with people trying to make money with abusive behavior. Zlasher United States. May 10 2011 05:13. Why do you care so much? You seem like you have a genuine nerve that was struck by this lol, first of all nobody cares about boosting except for S2 wanting to make a statement by nailing their highest profile name they have in the game. Testie did it, publicly, because it wasn't ever an issue and nobody really stated that it would be an issue. As for the "dirty ringer" thing. I'm not sure what was up with that but he's hardly the same person he was in BW, and to just lay it all down like this, I'm surprised you'd bother coming in here just to call him a "lying scumbag" This is just emblematic of this ridiculous internet troll personality, where nothing matters because it is just the internet. Any outrage should be laughed at because in the end it doesn't matter. No you are fucking wrong. This guy got paid to ruin the games and help other people ruin games and as a pro player he shouldn't be boosting. I am not saying he should be banned or whatever but people have a right to be angry. Also the argument of "it wasn't ever an issue" because "no one really stated it would be" is just ridiculous. Anyone who has thought for more than 2 seconds about boosting can understand why it might ruin a few games. | ||

In this tournament, ringers were not allowed so they make the one they wanted to play with them use one of their team player account. | ||

Smurfing ruins games. | ||

Testie is cool, ringers are needed, and this thread is silly. | ||

I don't play HoN so I don't know the severity of the things he's done. The comments in the thread don't seem to suggest it's anything like what he did when he was 13 years old  Is it playing twice for your team because someone is missing? Maybe it's like Proleague's Ace format  | ||
