the pudge picture?
looks to me a newbie pudge with no mana and 40% hp decides to hook a full-hp swiftblade to him/deadwood and subsequently gets raped by an elect grip and deadwood missing his root
not sure how it's supposed to be funny though, more like cringe-worthy

You gotta go onto the hon forums, this has turned into a full blown meme. It's funny because the guy who's playing devourer makes a lot of the typical "I deserve to be a higher psr" threads.

You should have included that content in your first post. That makes it even more awesome. The text is definitely what makes it though.

thinking more about reliable vs unreliable gold
its obvious this is going to make supports/ganks more aggressive (and maybe more leaning toward low cost items) but hard carry is still viable and maybe even still necessary, but my theorycrafting is quite weak

You'll never get it exact, I did some napkin math on it before. It depends on the hero as well, Lion solo will be very scary now as I can't think of any other support that flows so well from early to late from just a spell perspective, so many options open to him. Semi-carries will be all giddy now too.

Not necessarily more aggressive play since wards are still in play, think more aggressive counter-warding and the popular carries these days, Brood has bullshit movespeed with ms, Storm has bullshit ball, Medusa has bullshit Gaze and Shield, Morph has bullshit wave and replicate.

If anything it just makes Wards and TPs that much more important => like a mix between 27 and 48.

I'll probably go crunch out the numbers tomorrow based on some assumptions.
Get it by your hands...

give me a break it's one (admittedly well-executed) series vs good (#1?) opponents but you need some more consistency than that >.<

Lol went thunderclaw in a no stats game to try it out, got quad kill and went 18-2-9
Too bad it was no stats ;-;

End items were symbol of rage, geometers bane, wingbow, thunderclaw, shrunken head, and treads

Fun fun fun ^_^

Yah, I had the same thought... semi-carries are going to become more popular than ever. Maybe we might see the resurgence of QoP?

This pretty much guarantees that ward bitches will always have enough gold to do their job. About dedicated gankers.... I dunno. They go aggressive and tower dive and what not, but i think it might be just as risky as it is now as defensive play is so fine-tuned.

Another thought is that this adds a lot of "momentum" to game flow. It's going to be much harder for a team that's behind to come back after lost team fights now.

On the other hand, wouldnt reliable gold make comebacks even more difficult?

If you face a 10-0-10 carry and you manage to kill him, instead of gaining something like 800g and him losing the same amount, assuming he spent all his unreliable gold, he will keep all his reliable gold and still have a huge lead.

only if the other side doesnt manage to get any kills, otherwise they can possibly save gold back to make a comeback, again depends on the matchup

Just played a game that lasted over 80 minutes. We were winning then one of ours disced. We nearly lost to a full-inventory madman but managed to somehow only lose 2 rax 4v5 and barely defend the last one, then one of their players disced and we won a teamfight and then I killed their nexus turrets and nexus while their team was dead for 80 seconds

Either madman is a LoL hero or you need to work on your HoN lingo :V.

Afaik you have to keep playing public games that dont exclude leavers until you get your leaver percentage down to where you want it.

You know what I really fucking hate? When your team is winning but one person leaves because there is one feeder on our team and acts like a pussy bitch....then proceed to lose the game.

Fucking cunts.

Comebacks shouldn't swing on you getting a single kill on a god like spree. Late game the timer hurts much more than the gold lost. If mid game you let a hero go 10-0-10 or something like that, you don't deserve to win. Remember, any hero can farm, any mid skill player can last hit farm. People tend to forget you are likely to lose more gold in the time dead than the actual death.

Also, preliminary spreadsheet inc later tonight.

All of the casters at Honcast (including myself) are working on improving their knowledge of high end play. Just like Starcraft, a lot of the casters for HoN aren't high tier players but rather working on understanding the knowledge that a lot of the high tier players possess. Give it time, I promise it will improve.

Don't think I've ever heard you cast, Kenny, (not sure of your user/its impossible to search for casters on honcast, half the videos don't even say) but I'll be rooting for you not to say dumb shit if I do.

Sure, nobody's perfect, but if you compare to neva or dotacast, honcast is miles ahead in both entertainment factor and on-the-fly tactical interpretations, plus the entire presentation is far more interesting to listen to. I mean, both the other two I mentioned bear heavy resemblance to their informal "some guys on vent watching a game and commenting"-origin, which is all cool if you're actually hanging out with the people while casting's going on - for anyone outside the caster/gamer microverse, honcast's more structured presentation's far less annoying to watch.

As for you kenny, you make awesome comparisons while casting. Keep it up.
