When did cloak of night become worse than BotF? Personally, I always looked at it the other way and I certainly played high level games. Early on you will be disadvantaged yes, once a few items are acquired however you have the better item because it provides something you can't purchase that functions as both a finisher and an escape mechanism. (I played Sedna mostly.)
What's the point in resetting the stats? They'd still be just as meaningless as they are now. Without fixing the system it's just going to have the same issues all over again. It reminds me of GPG 'fixing' supcom's 2v2 ladder, except all they did was reset it and not fix the underlying problems with it. (The problems were however, much different than the demigod ladder.)
Heal is pretty easy to interrupt, especially the 2nd cast. If you play sedna enough as well as observe the other player's timing and habits you can reliably get it a decent amount of the time. One interrupted heal is probably a sure kill too. Of course with 2 better players it all becomes a mindgame.

[quote who="StAcK3D_ActR" reply="8" id="2350635"] HoN and LoL are both just a joke. None of them will be a demigod-killer. here is why they are not a joke to a large majority of people: i just logged into HoN and the amount of people online was 8271, the amount of lobbies open was 112 then just checked http://www.demigodthegame.com/opengames.asp for demigod and the amount of people online was 1657, the amount of lobbies open at that time was 5.<br /
[quote who="DemiCom" reply="4" id="2349693"]Many gamers stopped playing DG because they were sad of "only 8 DGs" and the "lack of feautures" I am sure, when the 2 new DGs arrive and mod/replay-support are intigrated, many people will come back and restart playing DG !! Its just a question of new content...... [/quote] You're way too optimistic.
I didnt use either of those 95% of the time.
Default.
[quote who="CosMoe" reply="53" id="2338024"] I have searched through almost all ESL tourneys (2vs2 and 3vs3; one 2vs2 even with a Logitech Sound Sytem prize). The teams consist only of UB, Erebus, Oak and Sedna. There are no TBs, no Regulus, no Rooks and no QoTs. This outcome correlates nicely with the win/loss ratio statistic. [/quote] I would agree that this is mostly true and I basically looked at it the same way. I saw abs
You can easily create distance also by hugging the inner edge of leviathan for example, their character will repeatedly get stuck on the edge of the map.
There's already too much command lag to effectively use the current hotkeys. I can't really see this helping all that much until that's not a problem. :/
@ Shadow and Dustbin - Spirit attacks on Crucible can be countered more effectively than zerging on other maps, imo. Still not ideal but not totally broken compared to how it used to be in Beta 2 No, it's uncounterable.
You didn't seriously compare cataract to seton's..........
[quote who="Shadow" reply="1" id="2320701"]I'm suprised no one is complaining about Spirit rushing the Citadel on Crucible? [/quote] I bet you most people don't even realize that it's virtually an automatic win.
[quote who="SoFFacet" reply="20" id="2319257"] As for the direct Heal vs Shield comparison: I'm a bit surprised to see so many posters on the pro-shield side of the debate. Shield is slightly better early on, but above level 7 (Heal 3+4 vs Sheild 3+4), Heal is 2,384,951 times better because it purges negative effects. Yes, its that important. [/quote] QFT Heal also scales with mitigation, shield does not.
[quote who="Aroddo" reply="2" id="2310234"]Doesn't that mean that you'll barely gain any experience? [/quote] Not if you know what you're doing. This is effective with sedna also. Edit: Well sort of, my team's communication is stellar so it's a little different.

[quote who="RainFall2112" reply="9" id="2308751"]HoN is pretty fail. it's zerg/gib game. You can easily die in 2-3 hits without anything fancy. That doesn't take skill. That was like PRE TBC WoW.[/quote] Translation: I'm terrible. Anyway, I never played dota at all and I'm doing quite well in HoN now after about 40 games. The game is a little overwhelming at first but in no way is it as bad as people make it out to be as far as learning curve.
[quote who="ItchyDustbin" reply="7" id="2307299"]Minion Erebus [/quote] Or minion oak! Mines denied. Edit: Well if it's not pantheon anyway.
[quote who="bmg50barrett" reply="8" id="2303800"]wow. double rook on crucible? did they use dual tower rook? [/quote] Easy to counter with decent hero selection of your own.
[quote]botF is often used so it might be imba. Or lets say mards hammer is underpowered. Gladiator gloves +5% attack speed thats all for 750... Plate visor must have much more regen.[/quote] I seriously think the only char we ever have on our teams that uses BotF is UB. The favor item is good but hardly OP. There are other equal if not better items. As for mard's hammer, I see no reason to take it over BotS.
[quote who="Creep666" reply="10" id="2299581"] Also, it's really interesting to see how everyone used to complain about minions being shit, and now how the game play has evolved to minions being called for a nerf. Furthermore, I don't agree that general's minions should give XP when killed. This would turn the minions into a liability, which negates the point of having minions as part of the general's abilities. QFT [/quote]
Ice > Fire imo. Damage isn't all that matters, Ice cripples your opponents fighting potential as well as damaging them.
[quote]This game shows an obvious case of Winner Keeps Winning syndrome. What this means is that the players who are doing better get benefits that help them do even better.[/quote] This is only the case with imbalanced teams imo. In an even matchup, momentum swings are common.
I dislike the idea of adding range to towers, you're not only hurting regulus but all generals siege minions. Edit: I also don't find reg being able to pressure towers with ease to be all that bad, he's usually easy as hell to push back anyway. There are exceptions like Zikurat though, but that's bad map design not an issue of Regulus imo.
[quote who="lifekatana" reply="6" id="2297408"]Blashemy! Morale is a very usefull ability. [/quote] Most people seem to underestimate it's potency as evidenced here.
