there is just nuggets of interesting information everywhere so fine apparently people knew that heroes like tort can see further at night by default but did you know all damage in hon works like a dot? what are the implications of this.. well consider early levels, tower vs ranged creep you need either 3 tower hits or 2 tower hits + 2 hero hits to kill it consequently, if you didn't hit the ranged creep ahead of time, and the tower is firing its 3rd hit, you're sol, right? Think again. if you hit at the same frame as the tower from the server's point of view, even though the creep has more hp than you can possibly kill in one hit, you still have a chance to get the lasthit (based on an RNG) Fascinating stuff. likewise of course, you also have a chance to lose a lasthit to something that can't possibly deal enough damage to kill it if it hits at the same time as you. i guess the practical implications of this are -you always have a chance to get a lasthit even if you can't possibly deal enough damage so always go for it -it's always possible to deny yourself as devourer -it's always possible to fuck up denying allies from dots (most notably slither's) | ||

The damage are not DoT like, however if two simultaneous source of damage occurs on the same frame, there is a weighted chance that either can get the kill. I believe HoN runs at 20 fps, so timing a hit along with the tower or anything alike would require both hits to be within 0.05s | ||

But all damage before the last hit are instantaneous  | ||

The graphics in HoN are very clear, interface very intuitive, and online features far surpassing other games. All heroes are available to anyone, the 30$ is a one-time fee that covers everything you'll ever need to be as good as you want. One thing in LoL that discouraged me was things like this - there are no runebooks, everyone gets the same heroes to play from, and everyone starts off the game equally (none of those spells that you pick two of each game to use - I forget what they're called). | ||

Do they actively add new heroes like Riot does? | ||

EDIT: well they fail-port heroes from dota but because of the differences stuff like Tundra and Gladiator are both completely shitty so they kind of fail there. Although I liked the Gauntlet and the Balphagore, even though Gauntlet is ridiculously overpowered. | ||

EDIT: Pokebunny clearly hasn't played enough LoL Shikyo clearly hasn't played enough HoN. First of all, yes, it has been done. Second of all, harkons doesn't stack with his orb, I don't claim to know much about LoL, I played about five games and those things stood out to me. | ||

I'm not completely sure about the orbs not stacking cause in HoN, every orb used to stack and whatnot, but they patched it and I don't know now :p But yeah hellflower is kind of a bad item for vindi | ||

And do I need to buy champions like in LoL with in-game currency or do I get a bunch automatically? I played quite a lot of LoL before I found out about HoN. I uninstalled LoL a while back because I find HoN significantly superior in every single way. I find the whole summoner system very gimmicky, and the fact that there are duplicate heroes in a lot of games annoying. Plus HoNs interface is soooooo much superior, pvp.net or whatever its called is a clearly inferior product. If you're starting to get bored of LoL, or want to play a superior albeit much harder game, do try HoN. You wont have issues with battle clarity by the time you've played 50-100 games. Its actually harder discerning stuff in vods cuz of the low quality, but in the game itself, everything is crystal clear. For the 30 bucks you get everything in the game, plus any future content S2 might add. No microtransactions or anything. | ||
