    Default HoN community rant

    I am so damn pissed. When I first played the game I met nice people but now the game has been overwhelmed with such ******ed idiots. GOD! Every damn game where you play you either get insulted so hard you could never imagine or kicked just because you are killing successfully and being called "KSer". I wish the community burns in hell. Not eve ONE SINGLE game can't be played where I am insulted or threatened to be kicked. I am in such rage now that I will just seriously rage quit HoN for good. Such shame that a good game has fallen into hands of idiots.
    Just 2 words to HoN community **** YOU!

    the DotA community will never change. HoN/dota already has a steep learning curve, and 95% of the community isn't willing to help new players (they would rather insult them for not knowing how to play)

    it's ****ing ridiculous.

    Play in games at your skill level then you wont meet people that bad.. If you are new then play in the noob channels since they almost all suck. If you know all the skills of the heroes, all the items etc.. then play in just random games that dont specify a PSR amount.. and shouldnt be that bad.. and join a clan with people you know or something.. I am in a clan with savage 2 players so playing with them makes the game a lot more fun since they learn how you can play certain heroes and stuff.. and organize things better like electrician+swift blade at start

    If you haven't seen him play then who are you to comment on his skill?
    I bet I could whip your *** in any DotA game though =]

    HoN has (pretty much) the worst of the DotA community. It is like having the angry 'never screw up' DotA think-style coupled with permanent stat tracking of 'I've seen you've screwed up before', this breeds a far angrier / more competitive player than usual.

    Overall this angry player really has no reason to be so angry since stat-tracking (k:d:a w/l creep kill / deny) means a whole lot less than people take it for since the game is SO team orientated.

    TL : DR

    HoN fails... Hard.

    I found the stat-tracking to be a fairly good measure of most players during the time I played.

    if you've played dota somewhat competively, even open leagues, people get discouraged from playing support heroes because they don't increase your ratio as playing a carry hero does.

    I haven't played in any dota leagues, I just played pubs and then eventually some in houses with guildies.
    1. Competitive HoN players will also be playing in leagues eventually so you won't see much of them as pubs.
    2. Their stats are still going to be a heck of a lot better than most pubs.

    Oh woa , so I'm not the only one who feels about how the HoN Community sucks badass.
    I mean c'mon, now they're setting some sort of rule - Only 1600+ (something I have no idea what it is) people can enter and play -

    I had a 43 minutes match last night , I was the top scorer etc etc, helped alot and when we eventually lost ; an idiotic teammate told me " Accursed, what are you ? A noob ? " .

    Ha.

    bro play with friends, the game might take longer to start but trust me it'll be more enjoyable.

    it sucks though when your psr gets 1700+ with your friends... people cower by the win percentage or want to ab except you can't autobalance cause you're all friends.

    psr and rankings just eff these kind of games up.

    that's why we're going back to dota.

    Online gaming isn't at all like HoN, I've never met a community that bad and who judge you based on an artificial rank that is obviously not meant to be taken seriously.

    Not to mention if you go against people who know what they're doing all the time your ratio is going to be extremely low...people don't realize that in a game there has to be people who lose...and those people will lose a lot of their ratio each game while others gain theirs...hell what if there are hackers that come in and kill you a million times in a matter of seconds and by the time you leave your ratio places you as the worst player in the game? What then?

    play with friends dude... i bet he has friends who are atleast decent at the game. group with people with good psr's and since you know them they won't boot you and they'll help you with the game.

    Yeah...I've noticed a decline in the community as of late. BUT HEY! I help new players as much as possible. Sure I hate it like **** when theres someone playing for the first time or first couple of times on my team because thats a guranteed one less person but I try to help them to the best of my abilities.

    And liek...anyone feel free to add meh >_> my...ign is Furungi Whether it be for pointers or someone to play against/with yah...BRING IT OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON~!

    And I tend to trash talk against my enemies though I've gotten quite different responses as some mature people actually exist and shrug it off while others get all butthurt about it.

    You usually can tell too...infact its somewhat sad as the people who usually get offended and try to insult you are the ones with lower K/D ratios >_>
