ᴄʜᴇᴇsᴇ ɪᴛ!

that's why you fast forward. Did I mention it was 4v5? IDK I'm just not getting kills with her. Only thing I hate is that her bat blast has a range of 400.

Also, when did Arach's slow stop being a spell? I don't get a charge from it on power supply.

Why all this talk, but nobody other than myself and "FriedLlamas" in channel SEN?

Bat blast has 700 range. =o

Arachna's slow stopped being a spell when they ported Vindicator.

I don't play HoN at 8 AM. -.-

If you are facing low-mana enemies (armadon, witch) as vindicator, pump glaives/stats instead.

EM Games are harder to play because the skill involved is greater. If one player is clearly better than the rest, he will be able to get multiple kills per death and outlevel everyone else quickly. Every time you die, you lose a large amount of potential gold and experience.
Wrong. Less of a skill gap in EM means noobs have a better chance of winning while good players have worse chance relative to normal mode. That's why bad players prefer EM, because they have a better chance of winning against people better then them. The best analogy I can think of is comparing a competitive game of tic-tac-toe to competitive chess. EM being tic-tac-toe where the difference between a new player and a 'professional' is almost meaningless, while normal mode would be like chess where the difference between a new player and a pro is years and years of practice and skill.

I'm going to agree with rockz. One fuck up can cost the game. The same isn't applied to normal, unless its a really bad fuckup, usually later in the game.

The only skills required in EM games are staying alive and picking a 5-carry team (rumour has it that 4-carry + Tempest/Behemoth/Jeraziah works really well too). All else is null and void.
Getting kills is not as rewarding as pushing a lane, which involves getting last hits on creeps and taking down a tower.
Dying is only so punishing because Heroes get so much gold and EXP from creeps. But since it's so easy to just go back and farm a bit to recover, dying is only a temporary setback. I.e. "potential" gold and EXP loss is actually very fleeting, since when the enemy Heroes go off to gank, they will arguably lose whatever boost they got from killing you in running across the map.

Also, games tend to be faster due to the fact that early and middle games are half as short. Games are only ever one by whoever has the most carries or Jer/Behe/Temp.
If one player is "clearly better than the rest," then of course that team will win. Same applies to normal games, except to a greater degree since recovering is actually difficult.

Well, looks like, due to a large mistake of mine, I will not be able to play any HON for one or two weeks. I managed somehow to leave my power cord for my laptop at my house, 2 hours away from my school...

And with a new hero possibly being released this week... this sucks.

two hours is nothing. I use to bus to my school for an hour and a half every day, there and back. just go get it.

The sword and the faith

When I repair my PC, I'm not going to play EM anymore, and I told my friends I refuse to play with them until they switch as well. I wonder how this will go, seeing as how they're as averse to change as solid stone. :P

O yeah it would be nothing for me if I could drive myself. Unfortunately for me, my parents don't want to drive a four hour round trip just to bring me my power cord :/

And it's not really an extremely important issue besides the fact that I can't play HON, since many other people in my dorm have the same laptop as me so I can borrow their power cords.

It isn't always busted. I've had maybe two problems in the last year, that isn't bad all things considered. Why don't you tell me why you still haven't fixed your other PC? :P
