I was during the first game.

I so fail at using lion. Also, I never knew HoN had a wyrded tree.

Oh yeah. That game was pretty tragic, but it's hard to outlasthit deadwood as lion because A) deadwood laning is busted, and your ani is so I don't even have to try to deny every creep. Your best bet is probably to skill stun/drain a lot (and use it a lot) autoattack harrass me as much as you can without me fog abusing you and clubbing you from the cliff because you're not getting any lasthits anyway, and just try not to be anywhere near me when I hit level 6. Also, if you see me running towards you after waving my hands in the air like a spazz, DON'T RUN STRAIGHT BACKWARDS. Try to juke the grab so I at least have to throw tree to willowmaker you and when you do get caught, stun straight away, don't panic and take too long to turn around.

Or get as many ganks on me as you can from the hard lane. Although given that you had scout and godawful pub torturer on that lane I guess that wasn't going to achieve much either.

Does he have skills which are somewhat similar to those that exist in dota? What are his 1-2-3-4 skills?

Lion? Identical to DotA, straight clone, nothing new to learn AFAIK.

...although morph is super buggy atm, but not in a way that would have mattered in lane since you weren't skilling it.

I was referring to deadwood!

Oh, I see.

Skill 1: kinda like Kunkka torrent. 300 magic damage, some armour reduction, and immobilises.
Skill 2: picks up a tree, gets large autoattack damage bonus for X hits. Also, can throw for a huge fading slow a la diffusal.
Skill 3: gives treewalking, slow resistance, IMS and IAS.
Skill 4: 1s stun, fading slow, huge chunk of physical damage AND scaling strength reduction in a large cone.

behold the power of the wyrd!

thanks, Shiri!

Yeah, kotf is pretty gimpy by comparison although pubs still try to get me to ban him all the time for no reason I can understand.

it's their survival instinct. it's telling them you can be merciless when using him.

Pubs hate KotF because no one ever buys an Axelord trill to go around chopping his eyes and they accuse you of map hacking.

Also nobody buys Shrunken Head in pubs, and the few that do don't know how to use it properly to deal with his ult.

Anyone up for games today?

Hopping on in a bit.

Damned Glomdoring.

Don't know why, but the emails never came through. Anyone mind trying again?

Are you sure they're not in your junk folder?

Some pubs make -me- look good.

Yeah, pretty sure. Checked past emails and spam as well just to make sure since Sham said he sent it twice.

He can check his Beta Invites page and just give you a signup link + the key pasted from his page. I used it to reclaim keys nobody ever used.

Played dota with housemates fairly regularly up until a few months ago, Brewmaster and Spectre my characters of choice. We tried HoN but didn't like the lack of heroes in beta. I'm up for some games, but fair warning that I was never amazing at dota (hence the heavy use of Panda for wins, oh sexy, sexy Panda), and it'll take me a bit to get used to the item layout in HoN. And will be using Sand Wraith whenever I can, if the play is similar to Spectre.
