[Mirosuke]

lmao haha this Saturday my friends is going to deposit me around 100 bucks to my bank account.

iseeyahatin'

GL HF HOHOO

And noooo! this time will be FULL-TIME-SRF.
Which means i'll only play when a memeber of SRF is available, if not, then is boring.

[MasterKojito]

How am I going to get my fix now?

[0l3n]

I'v seen Carry Nymphora and Demented Shaman,everything is possible

That doesnt make it good or even viable.

pretty much all carries outcarry any support wanabe with the same farm.

Anything is possible, in EM games.

I never play EM games. I'm talking about non-EM Games where DSham was doing great as a Carry and viable.Our FA had about the same farm(KS biatch) and got outshined by him. Sure he didn't have Astrolab but his Skillset was enough to support the team(Storm Cloud,Heal Wave) + He could chase everyone down to infinity and beyond.

[Miguez]

I'm officially off EM games, they made me weak, just played a Ranked Match, it's a whole different story. went 1-5-9, I feel ashamed, we won but they were only three versus five

[Mirosuke]

Dude, EM games are for when you are about to go school!!

[Phantasma]

Many of the games I play are EM, and when I play no EM, I still do fine. It is just that playing EM causes you to have less skills with laning, ganking, etc since everything is made shorter and that you can still bounce back up easily with a little farming. Also, carries are better in EM, though I really dont care too much as I still do fine with Int chars... I prefer them anyways as they are more fun

[Miguez]

Yeah I guess I just suck at HoN now

Played another matchmaking game and went 0-5, playing int heroes doesn't help alot either

[0l3n]

Yeah I guess I just suck at HoN now

Honestly though, matchmaking sucks in general.

And dont get to obsessed with KD, everything depends on what type of heroes your playing, sure if your playing carry heroes and not getting kills/dying alot that might be a problem.

[Mirosuke]

Well that sucks. INT heroes are supposed for advance players.
I've been lately playing with them, they are great at early game to get kills, and not so good later if you don't have something to stun (or hex). But overall, if you team goes for all int (like AR) you gotta finish the game in less than 40 mins :o.

[Miguez]

Yeah I'm getting off int heroes for awhile until I get good again.

[0l3n]

Have I ever told you guys how much I HATE scout?

Because I REALLY do.

[HughGRection]

is there a way i can still join the game?

[Miguez]

Omg idk if I've just been really unlucky but lately it seems I play worse than when I started... Keep going 0-X

Testing new Hellbourne STR hero Balphagore,come on the Test Client

[0l3n]

IMO he kinda sucks :/

And is it just me or is the ulti not working?

[Skyve]

IMO he kinda sucks :/

And is it just me or is the ulti not working?

He's in his alpha alpha status though (hence the name of the spells). And they didn't update the animation of his ultimate so its a B&W square atm. I asked the question and basically for his 1rst form of his Ult you need someone to spend 400 Mana within 30 sec. So if you wanna practice it just spawn a Pyromancer and use his ult.

[-Evan]

Just when I actually tried getting into a decent psr range, I get farked by some "Prepurchase is not availabe in SEA.. blahblahshit" while "S2-Garena" affiliation is shoved in my ass.

If SEA is separated from the global servers, then it'll be time for me to find a new game.

From what I heard its just that for SEA, Garena will have a collaboration with S2Games. Didn't hear about you guys not being able to play on the other servers though(if its true)

[Skyve]

Sorry I was late...been busy

Test Patch 2.61 ( Introduction of Balphagore, Hellboure STR Hero )

Spoiler!

Version 0.2.61
-------------
- Heroes can no longer pickup runes while stunned
- Referees are now treated as spectators. (Fixes the fog issue, allows them to see the scoreboard, allows them to talk with other referees and spectators)
- Trying out new color for the selected item in listboxes
- Added some environmental sound effects on Caldavar

- Re-arranged some of the shop to put modifers into the correct (bottom) shop. This includes all lifesteal items. Brutalizer and Lightning items are now in the Combat shop. Be wary of your hotkeys.
- If you buy an item on a courier then transfer that item to your hero, you can now sell that item for its full value within the 15sec sellback period
- Geometer's Bane now spawns illusions a triangle shape, to match dota.
- Nullfire blade recipe now sells for the correct value.

Balphagore
- Base strength increased to 25 (from 23), strength gain increased to 3.1 (from 2.
- Base intelligenece decreased to 17 (from 20), intelligence gain decreased to 1.9 (from 2.1)
- Corpse Reanimation no longer resets to 0 charges on death
- Corpse Reanimation mana cost reduced to 95 at all levels
- Minions spawned by stage 3 of Hell on Newerth can be damaged by both teams' spells
- Hell on Newerth AoE damage increased by 100 at all levels
- Lower minion hp on ult to 200 from 400
- Fixed the ult losing charges correctly

Behemoth
- Another possible fix to the crazy shadow bug with fissure

Devourer
- When he is in fog, his hook now originates from the correct position

Valkyrie:
- Call of the Valkyrie will now determine the close-range target to get hit twice at the time the ability is used, rather than after a 0.5 second delay.
Quote:
Version 0.2.60
-------------
- Inital test of the matchmaking overhaul
- Next version of the legion main building death

- Removed the "Tier" filters, columns and inputs from the game browser and create game interface.
- Added filters, sortable columns and all inputs for Min/Max PSR to the game browser and create game interface.
* Players may now specify a Min/Max PSR range when creating a game. Min/Max PSR games will appear normally as they would in the game browser and other players may join a game if their PSR falls within 2% of the range the game server Min/Max PSR is set to. (This means a player with 1471 PSR should be able to make it into a game marked Min 1500, and a 1734 player would be able to join a game marked as Max 1700, but those are the very edge of the 2% tolerance, so anything higher or lower would be rejected.)
- Games outside of a player's PSR range are grayed out in the game browser similar to the way "No Leaver" games appear to a player with leaver status. If no range is specified when the game is created then no range is enforced. If a player is invited to a game, the server ignores the PSR restrictions for them allowing friends to play in games they may not normally be able to be playing
- Added Min/Max PSR to the /gi or /gameinfo commands.
- The players PSR is now retrieved stored locally on the client when logging in, and is accessible through the UI_CMD() GetPSR()
- Added a visable 'corpse' for NPCs dying
- Fixed "/r" to not reply to a clan whisper automatically with "/c m", instead it will reply directly to the sender with a "/w PlayerName" just like how "/b m" works.
- Hopefully you will now be able to buy while dead again.

- Added new advanced game option "Tournament Rules"
* When enabled, allows the host to specify in the game lobby which team gets first ban.
* Only affects BP and BD gamemodes.

- Third will no longer eat hero corpses.
- Hell on Newerth now loses 1 charge a second after going 10 or more seconds without having gained charges from an enemy spell or ability. It no longer removes chunks of charges 30 seconds after receiving them. Max charges increased to 120.
- Hell on Newerth stage 3 now has a 120 second cool down (reduced from 150)
- Hell on Newerth now requires 25/60/100 charges to use stages 1/2/3 (from 35/70/100). Charges gained per percent of enemy mana spent increased to 0.6, from 0.5 (one enemy using their entire mana bar will allow you to cast stage 2 of hell on newerth).
- Hell on Newerth will no longer gain charges from non-player controlled units (such as neutral's)

Fayde
- Illusions from Burning Shadows are back to full size
