capping you at 1550 would be VERY generous. He's actually a very good player, currently rated around 1900. And his decision was right. Zel did something stupid, BHP didn't delay his farm for no benefit. This is what carries do. Even if bhp had successfully 'saved his ally', his ally shouldn't have needed to be saved anyway, especially if he just dashed in using his escape mechanism, then died. Say he runs in, tanks half the blade fury then an ult goes off. Even if he DOES get the kill on swift, he AND kraken are now almost dead and can't stay in the lane. The minimum cost here is 1:00 of running time and 135 to tp back and the lost creeps, which would be 2 full waves at 35 average x 4 creeps x 2 waves. Basically the idea was shit from the start. | ||

That said, I barely even play with you guys so maybe I don't understand the situation completely. | ||

Really now? Making his teammates play 4v5 for 30 minutes and come in with his cookiecutter bfury scout and win? He must have some good clanmates that play together all the time then, that's the only way it can work out. | ||

BHP doesn't really go looking for fights with scout prior to getting some damage because scout doesn't do any damage until that point. having wards up lets the team fight pretty much whenever they want and counterward easily, so their team can set the game pace fairly easily if they aren't terrible. | ||

Scenario: An enemy Jugg jumps into the lane and you are a carry. You're ally is near and you could potentially kill him but also get killed. What do you do? 1.) Are you a carry? If so continue farming, if not go to 2. 2.) Are you Testie? If so help only if your ally will die for you, then continue farming or go to 3. And kill the neutrals in the area too. For good measure laugh if you survived with ~5hp and taunt them by not even going back to base to heal. 3.) Are you R!en? just quit. | ||

EVO Play/Enro's DotA players (Playmate and company) play HoN and they're 1800+, but somehow you guys start dropping 1900s, lol. most of us are, for the most part, at least 1750+ (and others, like testie, are in the 1900s by now simply because of the volume of games they play + win). those guys you're talking about should be breaking 1900 pretty soon... i mean we played against chu and his friends a couple nights ago and got lol'ed, and they were all still in the 1700's. | ||

Most of the 1900s weve played have shit kd ratios and low creep kills. Its just the fact that they play hundreds of matches, the eventually get there. | ||

I shouldn't have even mentioned the battle with scout/swiftblade/kraken, it's so goddamn trivial compared to everything else I was trying to get across. if that fight was important I could argue with bhp and all your random peoples' responses to it, because there have been some very wrong things said. however bhp's long response regarding it is somewhat significant as it confirms what I've known with bhp, which is that he has some wrong ideas when it comes to decision making and critical thinking, similar to L. Though to be fair I'm probably worse, since I often realize what I'm doing / about to do is probably a bad idea yet I do it anyway, and I've known about this problem for..how long? yet I still do it? something I should really think about. Also I'd like to note that the recent rating discussion is incredibly stupid since HoN ratings at the moment aren't a very good measure of skill at all.. not comparable to ICCUP rank whatsoever. But anyways the]important issue here, at least to me, is everything else I put in my previous post. I'm aware these problems are basically nonexistent with the good clan war lineup, but I think our lesser players can still change if we tried. Is it really that hard for people to make a few changes in the way they lane, keep TPs on themselves always to defend towers, group up when you're a ganker/support hero or on some occasions *gasp* even a carry and gank / push / counter-gank / team fight, keep wards up consistently if it's your role, pick better heroes (that supports/synergizes better with the team, have stronger lanes, and counterpick their heroes)? But of course the problem is not that it's too difficult for people to do those things (for the most part, improving laning skills is probably not easy), it's that people don't do them because it only works if everyone does it. | ||

I did a doubletake on Glacius' Ice Imprisonment change, thought it was 10 second duration on all heroes for half a second. | ||
