To clear r!en's name, that quote was by me... I made the name "Rien" on HoN to troll some people, and stuck with it  and yeah, conversation between Legopirate and I are always in the wtf-zone.

It is completely unprofitable play, so the answer is no unless you like gambling.

ugh, fenix, that kid is/was so fucking bm.

also, i wish lions would learn a few mechanics tricks, mana drain >>> images, when sf was running wild with his images and zoning with them, level 1 drain would have raped one easy.

In the 100 or so 4v4s ive played, i think maybe 10 teams have GGed. It's not a big deal really, i'm actually happier when kids leave in frustration than when they GG because then i can /f a them, PM "UMADUMADUMADUMAD", then block communication.
is it just me or does that look like someone secretly plays this game?

that depends on how much the individual values their life

What about inflation?
Assuming
- Value of Human Life Per Year : $129,000
- Inflation : 3%
- Life expectancy : 78
$38829257.6

Considering... inflation... they arrived at $129,000...
So if Valve is working with IceFrog (FrostToad?) to create a standalone DotA game, isn't there some massive overlap with HoN? >_>

I think they mean they adjusted prices considering inflation from before 2008 to $129000 in 2008

but you're getting 30mil now as opposed to 129k+inflation every year. that's worth a lot more (present value of money baby yeah!)

Nope, since his team is relatively small and does not have the resources to put a standalone DotA game out on the market, Icefrog pretty much made S2 his bitch. After talking with him, he knows a lot of stuff in DotA is pretty flawed and is limited by the War3 engine (like triggered heal mechanics and the pseudo RNG). So he let S2 drop HoN using a lot of concepts from DotA, see how it would fare, then cashed in or will cash in on it with Valve.
Overlap or not, he's pretty good about keeping up with the community, a lot of the changes in the recent versions came directly out of the cesspool that is the Suggestions or Balance Debates sub-forums over at Playdota.com. For example and a shameless self-plug, the Blink Dagger nerf was courtesy of me and a few others back when dota-allstars.com was still the official site, he liked it and implemented it. So he'll probably get lots of people playing just out of the sheer fact Icefrog is synonymous with DotA.
For a small team with only a handful of staff, he's handling it pretty well considering the volume of shit that gets suggested. Plus he still has to do whatever pays the bills and feeds the kids.
