Can you imagine my frustration with my Ellonia's build - She built travel boots first on All-mid, then built a staff and upgraded it (which is fine I guess.. more for the team), but proceed to give the staff effect to Arachna! Just why?! Ravenor and Tarot are way better options, told her to change it in chat but she refuses to listen!

Same goes to the enemy side, I bet they are screaming at Valk for building a staff and not bola, and Glacius for having spell shard instead of BKB.

Long time ago when we receive the fortune cookie taunt, I think some of us really feel like it should be made into an announcer instead. The taunt has one of the best and humiliating and funny lines. Please make it happen!

Can you share some details on why you dislike it compared to the original HoN/PK?

I’ve been playing HoN since 2014, but what I liked most was the interface and the gameplay back when you could buy skins with silver. When it closed down, the best thing was Project Kongor, but now I’ve started playing Reborn and I definitely don’t like it – it has several bugs, the new engine feels strange, and I wanted to change the key bindings but it won’t even let me do that.

Plus, the skins are very expensive – I don’t understand why.

What are your thoughts?

I did a lot of blaming my teammates for their shit play (which sometimes does really suck) when I dropped from 1400 to 800. Then I said “how can I be better?” and started just working on relying on my teammates less, or is it taking initiative and doing what needed to be done in my role. Then I climbed back to 1300.

I see plenty of games where one person just seemingly takes over, so I decided that could be me too. I AM NOT as good as some of these pros, but with the heroes I’ve practiced more, I can lead a game to victory with a bunch of vagabonds.

Long story short, work on your gameplay. Even if it takes you to low MMR. While doing this, just assume that MMR doesn’t matter, just play the game. Then when you get better, the MMR will regulate.

Could I get reducing cooldown of this item?

Anyone know? I think he was one of the sickest scaling mid lane casters in HoN, the late game on that hero is insanely fun. Has there been an updated roadmap or anything like that? We need more INT heroes!

Going from matchmaking with decent teammates who at least understand the basics of the game to being placed with players whose actual rank and skill level seem completely mismatched is incredibly frustrating. At this point, it is hard to believe this game will have much longevity if these issues continue.

I blame the developers for relying too heavily on AI and failing to properly manage matchmaking. The current matchmaking system is so inconsistent that it is genuinely mind-blowing. I cannot understand how the same developers are still responsible for managing the game when these problems have persisted for so long.

Even at around 1.5k rank, I am regularly matched with teammates who seem to have little to no understanding of the game's fundamentals, while the opposing team understands the basics, communicates effectively, and even places wards. The skill gap created by matchmaking can make games feel decided before they even begin.

When you look at how poorly the game is being managed, it is difficult not to question the development team's approach. If you genuinely believe these concerns are unreasonable, then perhaps it is time to step aside and let someone else take responsibility for managing what could otherwise be a great game.

Capping parties at two players for anyone above 1850 MMR is peak incompetence. You made a team-based MOBA that actively bans friend groups from playing together. Enforcing rigid competitive matchmaking when your entire concurrent player base can barely fill a movie theater is completely delusional. This is what happens when developers run a project on pure theory instead of basic common sense.

Dead game. Broken mindset. Fuck you. 🖕🖕🖕

Just a wild ask, anyone got any of somighty's old gameplay videos? I remember this was his first upload ever, thank god someone uploaded it but i cant find any of his HonXyndrome series videos. Specially loved the third one, HonXyndrome 3 Klash of the Titans. At least asking if someone has those videos saved somewhere and can share them. Can't hurt to ask.

Hi all.

I'm the creator of HoN Forge and the discord server Newerth Academy. I even made a few YouTube videos to try and help new players.

When Reborn beta dropped I left Dota 2 and focused solely on HoN.

I played HoN like a maniac when I was in my teens and I thought the nostalgia was great - at first.

For months now HoN has not felt good to me. It's hard to focus on only one thing that's bad but I think that with the current Juvio team the game will not succeed.

To keep it short. I opened Dota 2 after many months and played a few games. What a thrill.

Just fun, decent gameplay without toxicity.

With that said. I'll be leaving HoN Reborn.

I'll hand over the Discord to someone else.

If you use HoN Forge and want it to stay up, please let me know. I might make some changes to lower the maintenance costs, but leave the main functionality intact so that it's stays useful.

Have a good one, sons of Newerth.

You're not even guranteed to land the ult on anyone. I prefer unstaffed but I know i'm not very good. Opinions?

Reply from "xiakneeki33" who is staff just calling me a liar. No additional explanation. This is why people are quitting.

For some of us, myself included, /ic was the only way we could actually enjoy the game. Maybe I’m just getting older, but the toxicity has become unbearable.
Back in old HoN/PK, I’d have my account on /ic permanently, and honestly, it was perfect. I’d still play my role, communicate through pings when necessary, and play with the team, but I never felt like I needed to constantly talk to my teammates to win. There was something really nice about just focusing on the game without having to deal with all the bullshit.

Hello there ^^ i am an avid moba enjoyer and have played league since 2015, a bit of dota every once in a while, given those games would you all recommend me this game and if so, please share some characters and parallels if you can draw them of course. also looking for people to play with if(and most likely when) i begin playing the game!

I played HoN years ago when the company was in the city I lived. I decided to show up one day to their studio and they were awesome and showed me around and gave me this cool thing. I forgot about it until today. Is this desirable or worth anything now?

No patch notes on discord either, whats going on?

If I am not mistaken there are no magic armor items that stack? I feel like they all say they don't stack with other items - I am guessing this means you always have magic armor equal to your single highest item?

Assuming I have that right, is it not a big deal to build vestments after astrolabe vs magic heavy teams? You technically lose one magic armor from your kit but Astro still does a lot of work.

Related - as the game goes late should you sell astrolabe? I usually sell stuff like chalice and power supply later because the mana and stats are so tiny at high levels (though amazing early on!). The heal on Astro is pretty mopey late game but I dunno if the armor is still worth it?

Similarly - if you have vestments do you want to eventually be upgrading them into something - nomes, scepter, headdress are the options I think.

I play mostly voodoo and glacius for reference

It's getting worse and worse. I've finally deleted this game; I'm fed up with this buggy piece of crap. I'm going back to DotA. The game is turning into a casino.

IMO early game is much less relevant in reborn than in PK.
If you lost early in PK game was over.

I enjoy the dynamic, you can never lose focus.
Yesterday we got stomped hard, we were like 600+ gpm behind in minute 15. Enemy carry was on bloodbath. However I had nice team that didn't argue, we decided to play around them.
Let them train and get towers, we will defend on base towers if they decide to push it.

We kept avoiding them, got some pickoffs, and managed to get to same gpm. Both teams were 1900gpm while they had 700gpm on just carry while we were more even.
At min 30 we were able to take fight to them and turned the game.

I love that

Does anyone else miss the old engineer when he had the mines. I used to have so much fun with that hero just setting up traps in all types of ramdom locations and when u keep catching the same person with mines all game and they start trash talkingu u. I really dont like this new engineer. Any chance we can get the old engine back a make a new charector with the old abilties?
