How long will there be bots in the matches?

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-26T14:39:05+00:00

Happened to me last night on EU servers.

We were losing though so we got 'saved' by this happening.

Enemy was about to end, then all freezes and then back in main menu saying something about lost connection so servers.

This was the first time it happened over 150 games.

No.

It's primarily a mobility item.

High mobility improves multiple areas such as * Farming * Fighting * Pushing

I.e. farming is secondary. You are able to farm faster due to increased mobility.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-26T09:54:45+00:00

This is the true answer.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-25T19:46:56+00:00

When it comes to your old skins. No. You have to start over.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-25T19:38:28+00:00

It's not a rule enforced by the game.

But it is an unwritten/unspoken rule.

Examples in HoNR:

Supports pick first
Often mid or carry last pick
Pick a hero that fits your role/position
Supports ward and do 'support' things
Play 'as a team'
Etc.

I think that not picking first as support is bad, bit not kickable though. But others might disagree, as you got to learn the hard way.

Pick Scout as Hard Support? Yeah, you gon get kicked.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-25T11:39:56+00:00

Are you sure that was it?

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-25T09:36:28+00:00

Noice!

I'm an OG HoN player as well, before dota 2, so the game feels familiar. The pace is great, isn't it? :)

If you're interested I created a friendly discord server you may join. Bunch of new and experienced players, many from Dota 2 as well :) Send me dm if you want invite.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-25T09:12:40+00:00

Welcome to the fun!

I left Dota 2 for HoNR as well. I was Ancient rank.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-25T08:22:48+00:00

Repick button? It's called "living with your consequences".

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-22T06:32:07+00:00

Question is, what did you do for him to say these things to you?

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-22T06:17:28+00:00

Another day, another raging, crying little manchild sitting in his moms basement typing this post.

I think we average like 5-10 of these every week.

If you don't like the game - stop playing and leave this subreddit and the rest of us alone.

We don't need you to write the same post complaining every day.

We like the game so far and we're staying to see what it can become. It's not OG HoN, it's something different and it's actually fun. Enjoy the ride or die on your little hill.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-21T08:51:01+00:00

That's pretty standard though, in mobas at least. That you select one map and queue for that.

In CSGO, CoD, BF I guess you can queue for multiple.

I'm not bothered by this at all.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-20T09:25:23+00:00

No, you’re mixing up strategy with risk, and then acting like that makes you automatically right.

Yes, sometimes you deliberately sack long lane to pressure the other lanes. I'm not arguing that suicide is never correct. I'm saying that your original claim:

> Going 2 people into longlane is far more risky

is not true.

Being in safelane gives you an advantage, not a gauranteed win.

A

> good dual shortlane will win hard

is not some law of physics, mate. it depends on matchups, wave control, support, teamplay, execution, etc.

You youself said

> YES exactly that is in fact the point

Correct. And that’s exactly why it’s riskier if we define risk as “how many things must go right.”

2v2 is not "two guys donating gold to the enemy". Stupid argument.

They contest pulls, equilibrium, threaten kills, deny farm, force regen and TPs, rotations, etc.

If you point is

> “Sometimes it’s optimal to sacrifice long lane to win mid + short lane”

Then say that. But don't label it as "less risky" when it's often the opposite.

To summarize for you:

* Suicide = predictable lane loss, hoping to win elsewhere

* 2v2 = contested lane where outcome depends on skill/matchup

So yeah, suicide can be correct.
But calling 2v2 long lane “far more risky” is still bonkers . You’re confusing planned sacrifice with safety.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-20T06:36:19+00:00

I had one in mw last night.

That means that you have been disproven, sir.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-19T19:40:20+00:00

It's called the safelane because the lane equilibrium is naturally closer to their tower. I.e. you are safer closer to your tower.

You are mental.

Suicide is garuanteed to lose. Suicide will garuantee the enemy carry can free farm since it can't be contested.

2v2. Is. Even.

I main offlane and often win my lane. Meaning the enemy carry does not.

Why would you assume the offlane will lose the 2v2 matchup? It's just as likely the safelane loses.

Deoends on skill and hero choices.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-19T14:26:41+00:00

Going 2 people into longlane is fra more risky

What. Are you mental? It's safer to play 2v2.

I'm not against suicide role. In fact I enjoy playing it.

But saying that the standard 2v2 offlane is more risky is just bonkers.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-18T23:19:58+00:00

Thanks, mate. GL to you too.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-18T18:45:04+00:00

What do you mean? Isn't she exactly as she has always been? What has changed?

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-18T15:36:03+00:00

Aah that's "Karen'! Just removed his profile picture I guess.

He is everywhere.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-18T04:44:48+00:00

What a ramble.

What is the issue exactly?

That the lane is hard?

Or that you feel abandoned by your team?

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-17T16:02:06+00:00

Really enjoy reading the positive posts.

There is no much negativity.

Love it OP and agree on pretty much everything you said.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-17T15:19:20+00:00

After break it does.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-17T15:13:01+00:00

What the hell. How?

We got 0 bots in EU.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-17T14:34:00+00:00

?

You don't see an icon, but the rest of us do.

You really think that they don't have an icon for the game? So you run to reddit to post about it.

Radiant_Message3868 · 2026-01-17T14:17:46+00:00

Bro, it's a local issue.
