P. S.

I really don't like this alternate sounds/text for double/tripple kills etc.
Hoped they'd take it away by now.

Because people seem to always want to send a tank instead of ranged carry mid (Seriously? Making me mid Deadwood when we have Pyro and Arachna?), berate me for warding "the wrong areas", and for "buying the wrong shit".

So, my friend got me HoN because he didn't like LoL very much. I've been playing LoL and DotA on and off for the past few years (mostly LoL) though I played HoN for a short time in beta.

I played a few no stats, looked up the heroes' moves, etc then tried a ranked game. Evidently, I'm missing something. Is there anywhere where I could find/get an advanced tutorial in the game for stuff like ward placement, item builds, current tactics, juking spots, etc? Because people seem to always want to send a tank instead of ranged carry mid (Seriously?

I know my basics, when to run, when to fight, which items are good for what type, etc, but I need a bit of fine tuning and more experience.

Also why does that bitch with the scythe (Fayde?) 2 shot me at lvl 5?

For all the stuff you're asking about, I used a huge thread from the HoN forums that had short guide for every hero. But after I stopped using it, it has become horribly outdated, so I'm not sure where to send you.

But more importantly. Using the word tank makes most sane HoN players cringe, even so, deadwood isn't one regardless. In addition to that, deadwood is mid 99% of the time, and both arach and pyro are just fine on lane.

anyone know of a site where I can find DotA vods? Preferably the best teams/players?

Or alternatively, if I want to watch the best players play, which teams/competitions should I google VODs for

I guess it has something to do with playing the game for too long but I find dota/hon so lackluster compared to starcraft 1/2, public games are so easy that it's just not funny anymore, and there's just no point in trying to play dota competitively, you end up wasting huge amounts of time trying to find good players who you feel comfortable playing with(which is very hard in my country, since good players often have huge egoes plus crab mentality) and then there's the difficulty of getting your team to train properly because most players don't really dedicate themselves to the game, despite playing everyday for hours.Many dota/hon players(including the famous ones) have this crab mentality that makes them despise players that discuss strategy/watch replays/get highly ranked on the ladders, it was incredible the amount of hating I received everyday ("you have no life","you are a cheater")when I was handily at the top of my country's ladder( and then I stopped playing).To sum it up, there's absolute no glory in playing hardcore dota unless you live in china or play for the absolute best european teams, average players do not respect your achievements, ever( which is not nearly the case in starcraft).

Gosugamers is the best place to find times for big matches, but they don't really link to Vods often. If you're ok with replays, they have the best English replay section.

For recent English Casts:
http://www.cybergamertv.com/tv/vods/ <- Tobi's channel
http://www.own3d.tv/MYM <- MYM.tv's channel
http://www.own3d.tv/live/3716/Fivestream (My channel)

To be honest, if you want to watch the best you have to scour through Sgamer as Chinese Dota is far beyond most of everything else at the moment. But MYM nations cup, as well as games from top Euro teams (Garaj(DTS), Na'Vi, MYM, GGnet) are still pretty watchable.

There's a big lan in Kazakhstan atm (OSPL), hopefully there'll be a watchable livestream at some point, but possibly not. I'll probably be watching that and MLG today at the same time if all goes well. Other than that, most matches involving to top 5-10 European teams are broadcasted live nowadays, you can usually find a stream in the matchthread in Gosugamers but I'll start posting some here those that I think are worth watching.

Not using the site my self, but they cast VoDs. I think the level of knowledge is decent, though not on a level of day9-ish.
