A little while back rabidch made a dotacash account where he won 32 times before finally losing. Though I should mention he would only play on that account when he had someone like 5-s as an ally.
I've been trying to match that feat though I'm impatient so I do more solo pubbing. Today, after having an account go 19-0... I played a game where 3 of my allies left early and left me and one bad pub to take on the other team. We lost and I died a little bit inside.
With this I bid adieu to Dota 1.
I really want to punch a baby or stomp on a puppy right about now.

I played a CM game by accident...went ra, buddy went monarch.
I had 800+ gpm, codex lvl 5 after a pre 10 minute helm+boots+shamans then behe heart and pk.
God damn was that fun.

cm is fun at times esp joke builds, although normal makes the best troll builds because you can get obscenely ahead of everyone else, i went one game something like 45/7/10 as a spellshards codex hellflower scout, herp just hellflower ult into codex kills their whole team becuase none of them picked a tank XD

What do you guys think of items like energizer and shroud on Flint ? I usually get them just after frostburn. I feel that saving immediatly for savage is way too risky. Maybe i should go geo / frost instead :O
Sick zoning potential. Only problem is if they have tons of PK

Why not just get your regular fix of shrunken and shieldbreaker? Although I remember I've had quite a bit of success with Flint by going steam, 2x bracer, savage. Shroud isn't really necessary on Flint as you can just shoot people from your safe zone out of anyone's range (although hellflower is nice on him too).

Ending with it pk and codex, so i can ult someone pk and codex them for scout be dammed. I don't even bother with anything but flare, stats and ult

It only reaches mock's damage on a hero with enough HP to ignore it! Mock is pointless when people have 4000HP, and this is less than a mock up until that point. It's trash.

Energiser is really bad atm. Its alot of gold for some temp bonus movespeed.

thats silly, its true damage and covers 6 times the area that a mock does, dealing over 10% of each enemy's hp during a teamfight is nothing to laugh at and its one of the main reasons why sr can be built as a tanky semicarry

SR's aura is good because it negates peoples regen from items for the most part in all fights. Unless heroes are building really tanky his aura is extra dps vs their team the longer you are alive. It is not a shit skill because you do this for free with the hero rather than spending almost 5k.

Do you guys think that Milkfat's world record attempt deserves its own thread? I mean I know it's just HoN but he's doing it for a good cause (Doctor's Without Borders) so it might be worth it to maybe give it some more attention.

Other skills are useful too. You get so much attack speed and plain out dmg from HF/SS that you do quite a lot of physical with autoattacks too (40as/70dmg with lvl 1 shards and flower).

I can't believe I never gave HoN an honest chance until today (I was basically a blind LoL fanboy). It's a really fun game once you figure out how to play it. The one problem I have is that the games seem to snowball a lot, at least at the level I am right now.

At lower ratings some players on carries/semi-carries and stuff can seem to snowball a lot I think because of the skill differential/lack of skill in general of everyone else. If someone's a bit better than others then teams don't really have the ability to shut down their farm if they're on a carry and so they tend to snowball out of control a lot quicker than you would see in a pro game or something, where both teams are actively trying to stop the farm of the other teams' carry.
From my limited experience with LoL and from what I've heard from other people, carries in HoN do actually scale a ton more than in LoL (where every character scales a lot more into lategame, not just carries) so I think it's both this and the previous factor I mentioned for why it seems like that.

In my experience there is an awful lot of snowballing in HoN.
But then I tend to play in the kinkier games.
