HoN Q&A for Help
« on: July 09, 2010, 10:51:24 AM »
So this thread is to made to be a question and answer thread.  If you have questions post them.  If you know an answer post it.  If you disagree with an answer, ONLY POST YOUR ANSWER (theres no need to bring up someone elses answer unless you are adding a contribution to it).

Also, post common situations that may be valuable to new players.

Example:

Question
You are a support player and you accidentally just got first blood when going at it with your carry, what do you do?

Answer
Immediately upgrade the courier to flying.  This helps the WHOLE team alot.  I sometimes like to rush boots after the courier is flying so that I can harass better so my carry can farm easier. 

Question
You are playing burst heros such as pyro, witch slayer, etc.  How are you supposed to know when to use your ultimate?

Answer
Your burst ultimate is usually situational, but you can never go wrong by using it on the enemies carry in the first second of a team battle.  Your burst should NOT necessary be used to initiate the team battle but to immediately take the the enemy team carry out at the start of the battle.

Question
What kind of heros does a well rounded team have?

Answer
Usually well rounded teams have 1 carry, 1 semi-carry, 1 initiator, 2 support.  Now some people call the initiator a "tank", but we all should realize that only certain farmed initiators can be tanks.  They all start out as just an initiator.

More to come, when I dont have so much work to do :)

Often with pyro and witch slayer the stun is first and then the ult, the reasoning behind that is to get the bastards stunned and not be able to cast their stuff right away. If you do that, ult immediately so that your carry can just clean up the guy with low hp.

Might want to give a list of semi-carries though cross. Even just a small list, because some heroes are sort of a grey zone.

Q: What do you do if xKrazYx is on the other team?

A: Beg for a remake or sit in base and concede at 15.

I KID, I KID.

I think we should start a counter thread or something so people know how to pick..


EX:
They grabbed Swiftbalde ----- >  You should get pharaoh or vindicator to counter his early laning phase.

That'd be nice, but be sure to include why, i.e. why are Pharaoh and Vindicators good counters?

Pharaoh, spam is nuke. Vindicator, spam his dot which also burns mana or forces them to cast (still burning mana)

Vindi is also a good early counter for Pebbles as early game, Pebbs requires at least half of his basic mana pool to cast either skill he has.

Too bad that vindi becomes "Press R character" after early game. His passive is nice , but hes gettin killed in a moment . Assasins shroud saves him a bit, but its still hard to survive.

pharoah is not a counter to swiftblade because of snot spam...

He can mummy wall himself/his teammate away from swiftblades spin.  Thus preventing the often bloodlust and multiple earl kills swiftblade can have early game.

Gauntlet or rampage can counter swift a bit. Gauntlet's slow works on swift even in magic immune, and rampage's stun pushes swift away.
