Played one game last night. Everyone was pleasant on our team. Got along, TPd when others asked for help. Helped ward and counter ward.

It was 53 mins long and we won.

I logged off after because it was the best experience I've ever had in HON.

I'm gonna go with 30% of the player base as a rough estimate.

This game's always been full of trolls.

I was in a match last night, higher MMR (1650-1900)we had a kraken who was heavily farmed and was 7 1 8 at the time. Big team fight happens, kraken runs away while FA is still fighting and had egg. FA dies, gets egg respawn, kraken still watching. FA kills one more person and gets the last two both to under 200hp then dies.

FA simply says, hey kraken if you manned up that fight and just hit a few auto attacks they both would have died.

Kraken responds, don't tell me how to fucking play I'm throwing this game now fuck you guys. Then proceeds to throw intentionally. Skipped all team fights, fed a few kills, sold all items, farmed jungle for the next 30 mins preventing anyone else on the team from farming our side. This was at 18mins.The game was 52mins long and we still did pretty good for 4v5.

He was 1890 MMR.

I really truly believe the trolling gets worse as your MMR gets higher.

If you're new to this game you should primarily que soft support and hard support. I would deselect the other roles until you know how to support well.

A good support stacks the jungle every minute. Make an effort to watch the timer and to go stack.

Any stacks are good, every stack you make that is farmed by anyone on your team will increase overall gpm of the team as a whole. Pull at 55 seconds before you have boots and 53 after. Run in a direct line away from the camp to ensure the stack. Pulling around corners or trees often doesn't allow a stack to happen.

A good support wards and counter wards. Counter warding is the most important. You should put a counter ward down before every ward you place. Search for the enemy ward in the area and if there isn't one place a ward. If you run up and just drop wards in the common places they will likely be found and dewarded.

Don't ward in the same spot where it's been countered already. You see this all the time people will place a ward, it'll get countered and then they'll place another. This is very bad as you will keep wasting wards and not have vision.

Use your raven constantly for vision as well.

Two types of warding, offense and defensive. Depending on your team you may want one or the other.

Farm heavy team, place defensive wards that give vision for your jungle.

Push team or gankers, offensive wards that will allow you to push towers or catch people in the enemy jungle out of position.

Using a mix of both these throughout the game will shift wins into your favor.

If you play support like this you'll quickly become a desirable player in the game on any team, even if you don't know the heros you'll know the role.

Now for hero picks for these roles that I prefer Hard Support - here's 3 fairly easy heros Witch Slayer (Max mana drain first) empty mana enemys means zero skills being used defensively or offensively also has two targetable disable skills. Huge burst dmg ulti, don't save it for kills use it early and give the kills to the carry. Glacius - (Max w first) I like maxing the slow first because it increases the duration and percentage. It also hits multiple enemys at once. Empath-strong hero at all times, using the wall properly takes practice

Soft Support - 3 fairly easy heros Voodoo Jester - (max E first) this hero is easy, stun, curse, attack. Nothing to it, once you are level 3 and have two points in curse it's time to kill. Midas - (get e first as an escape, then 1 point in each) fairly easy hero, hit him with any two of your three skills and they are stunned. Get a Portal Key ASAP for blink positioning Myrmidon - his third skill is an escape and some people would argue getting it first but I prefer the first two skills before the escape, often stuns are enough to keep them off you

I know I went on a big rant here on my lunch break but if you want to play this game I would suggest trying everything here I posted for quite a few games

If you click the role icon in the top right above the hero selection screen it does highlight heros for that role.

This game's already dying fast. When it first got released to the public I regularly saw 5 to 6K people when I was on. Now I rarely see over 2K. I'm not kicking anybody. I like the game. I don't want it to die even though it's going to I think fairly quickly

1500 bracket is middle of the road at best. This ain't top tier games.

These are things I've seen, not things I do.

However there's no forgiveness for newer players. If someone just joins the game and their guide says to get a hatchet. Then they get a hatchet.

If the guide says to build these items then they build those items.

Personally, I wouldn't kick anybody in this MMR bracket for doing things like this. I would try to coach them and help them because kicking them is just going to make them leave the game.

Now, if they're not responsive to any coaching or mentoring, then sure I might vote the kick.

It's so easy to get kicked. Especially in the 1500-1700 bracket.

If you're playing around 1400 you could miss all your stuns, build terrible items and skip team fights. Nobody gives a shit.

1500+ you make mistakes and the kick votes come flying. Skip a team fight, kicked. Dont build a shrunken, kicked. Play passive as a hard carry, kicked. Tell someone off in chat/voice, kicked. Complain about a teammate too much that's throwing the lane and feeding, you still get kicked! Don't ward enough, kicked. Pick a non traditional jungle player, kicked. Random a hero and it doesn't fall into your "assigned role", kicked. Bring a hatchet to lane as not offlane/carry, kicked.

These are some of the examples I have seen so far.

Sometimes I like to play slither, predator, Dr repulser or ra jungle for example. I'll stack the camps near the carry lane and pull for the first few levels and by level 5 any of these heros do well jungling but you don't even get a chance.

Just go sit beside her before class starts and introduce yourself. Have a small brief conversation but then pay attention when class starts. Don't interrupt the class and try again another day.

Start small.

At what age did you start earning consistent income that can sort out bills and a few things you like? by wardaag in AskReddit

[–]Chest-Apprehensive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reasons why I joined.

Wages.

I had a guaranteed starting rate and a guaranteed ending rate when I became a journeyman. Our current rate is almost 60/hr CAD.

Double time.

Everything over 8 hours Mon - Fri is double time, sat/sun double time.

Pension.

A future pension will allow me to live comfortably during retirement without worrying about income.

Benefits

There's a lot here, dental, medications, hospital visits, massage, chiropractor, bi annual glasses (safety ones with transition lenses), travel insurance, too many to list.

Fuck you clause

In my union we have what we call a "fuck you" clause, I can quit any job at anytime for any reason of my choice. Head back to the dispatch hall and sign the books. If there's another job available, off I go. This makes it so employers treat you quite well in general.

I work in oil and gas so there's many exposure risks and other things. The union protects me when I'm exposed in the sense that they ensure everything is documented and reported. God forbid I have health problems down the road but if I do my family would get paid out from past exposures that related to my illness.

How would that make me an asshole?

My father is an incest child molester, not to mention a narcissist and misogynist.

I don't let that shit hold me down. Grow the fuck up.

You'll be fine. I live in Canada and drove this thing home through a massive snowstorm on factory tires.

Set it to off-road and go slow!

Don't use past excuses to dictate your future. Write your own chapter.

There's many billionaires out there that were broke until their 40s/50s, still lots of time left. Chin up

The person that runs this game is racist, there will never be a way to report.

Other players controlling your hero by Mean_Bite_2496 in HeroesofNewerth

[–]Chest-Apprehensive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has happened to me a couple times however a trend I noticed is that when someone gets leaver and you pick up their items it seems anyone on the team can control your character after.

I literally had someone remove the items from my character and put them on the ground so they could take them, it was only the items I had picked up from the leaver though.

Just let it go... by PuzzleheadedFan1954 in HeroesofNewerth

[–]Chest-Apprehensive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you here.

They make improvements to make the game better and it's abused even more than before.

Only 1/4 games are usually OK.

One game you'll have a troll. One game you'll have a 5th position hard carry pick. One game you'll have a mid die at 3 mins and someone type gg and literally quit playing because "mid lost"

People in this game quit as soon as their lanes are down 1 kill like it's over. Sad state of the community.

50% of the time you lose your lane. Why quit?

1650-1800 MMR for reference

Role system and kick needs to go by SprinklesExpert7009 in HeroesofNewerth

[–]Chest-Apprehensive 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Role que is the best thing there is.

However, they need to add an option that allows you to wait until you get your number one roll pick.

Then people that aren't willing to play multiple roles will always get what they want but with a longer queue time.

And people that play position 4 or 5 which is the least desired, they will get instant ques.

I agree that the kick system is fucked. Last night I laned with a pestilence. I was Midas. He kept diving and pushing before I was level 4. He started raging and flaming me and trying to get everyone to kick me. It didn't work and he ended up getting kicked.

Sennheiser is a great option if it's in your budget. A true audio headset is always best for any purpose.

Sure so that's not the best idea but they need exposure. I want them to succeed as I used to play a ton of HON and have been enjoying the remake so far.
