I really like playing casual mode. Getting killed doesn't mean quite as much, and it more often gets to the late game Probably the thing I like the most about HoN compared to dota. The bad part is just that most new heroes are completely buttfuck OP =(
Also, don't play casual mode, ever. This will only hinder your ability to play any form of regular game in the future.
Fuck that, CM is so much fun. Infinite money at all points throughout the game, best mode EU. Seriously tho, people worry too much about winning and raising their mmr than actually having fun playing the game o.O Tbh probrably just because my abillity to play a normal game is already severely gimped

hahaha so true battle hunger is so useless unless you can snipe someone as they're running back to heal..even then they probably get denied
some people have not played the latest version. it is easily one of his best skills
also you can't deny battle hunger. has been that way for a long time
er, seeing as he only has 4 skills, and taunt/spin are his greatest strength, and his ult for finishing blow, battle hunger is definitely his worst skill
Have you ever laned axe solo vs any melee? He destroys him with hunger/spin. I had to play vs blitz in the hard lane solo clock vs solo axe. It was quite annoying. Axe gets free farm and can keep the enemy hero out of the lane almost indefinitely until later. Im not gonna say its completely broken though as hunger loses most of its value later on when people can kill things faster, but with its current change it is really good in lane. I would not question an axe that diverged from just taunt/spin because hunger is a good spell now.

taunt and ult are not as good as battle hunger now, the keyword is now. its obvious what drives the hero concept is spin, but battle hunger is good enough now to make it a really awesome spell

Dunno about that. The only real difference is that you tonnes more gold, and that you don't have to buy stuff to the stash in case of dying.
Edit: thanks for the link though ♥
casual mode can be fun there is less pressure and more ganks but i find it makes some heroes too useless when everyone gets buff, like dm is great to play as in normal very rewarding, but in casual he becomes nothing quickly.
I guess most people enjoy a mode where there's more IQ required than that of opening your door. If you suck really hard then by all means play CM, as you say the only goal is enjoying the game, and the mode is there for a reason.. O,o
But the misconception that people who play normal mode are too serious about the game is dumb as shit. We stopped playing CM much in the same way we stopped playing Ludo when we passed 10 years of age.

Well you also get less of that predator who comes out of the bush in lvl 20 and rapes everyone.

you guys see the new kinesis hero spotlight? the hero looks really fun haha. i was hoping they would continue to release heroes with spells that interact with trees, and this one is pretty sweet.
i also love how all the comments on the youtube vid are "OMG OP" "WAY TOO OP" etc etc
the funniest was: "So they give a hero unlimited nuke ability and more or less a storm spirit that can be attacked through".
i LOLd. other heroes have a "free" sheepstick, powerful codex, etc. shouldnt witch be the most OP hero? if he was released today all hell would break loose

Lion's way better in HoN. Broken turn speed and cast animation on graveyard.
Hey, I installed dota 2 twice, and each time I open it, my monitor gives me an error message saying it can't run. Screen is black and all. Just won't play the video, i can hear the sound though. Can anyone help?

Theres a dota 2 subforum entirely?
My only complaint is that the new hero doesnt have a blink, therefore not true s2 hero
i don't really understand how a hero that shields himself for the amount of damage ATTEMPTED is going to be balanced in a 1v1. like, he'll be literally impossible to dive. also, codex kinesis inc.

He doesn't have clearvision either. Every OP S2 hero needs clearvision!
