Reputation: 29That's beside the point; evilleader gave some random information to prove that HoN's balancing is 'original', saying:
"Hehe , for those saying (or who are going to say) HoN is copying every patch:"
My point is, 'No you're wrong, HoN is copying every dota patch. In fact they are copying everything and adding some extra sprinkles on top'
Reputation: 10The Soul reaper's ultimate is great. Half health late game=you're dead, no ifs ands or buts. Like legionnaire but range, stun(if you fail), and way more power.

I'm very very dissapointed that they havent done anything about succubus. I mean CMON it's obviously inbalanced since the dota-hero "Bane Elemental" which succubus is a copy of, wasn't allowed to be used in most dota-tournaments.
And that is why they're continuously balancing them...if you read the patch notes, they reworked kraken and scout a great deal. And they turned Zephyr into an agi hero. Obviously they're making changes in an effort to make things balanced. It's not like when new heroes are introduced to DoTA, they're perfectly balanced. It takes a few updates for Icefrog to get them just right.
You mean like how the patch states that the mana cost of Succubus' ult almost got doubled? Way to read!
Reputation: 25I'm sorry, but I find the new Kraken a total piece of crap. An active version of Splash...ew.
Tsunami Charge is good to chase and to escape.
His aura...it was probably the worst piece of trash they could give to him. With the new Enhanced Marchers(I had 370 MS, 402 while phased), it didn't seem to affect anyone at all.
And his ult. You basically disorients the teams and making team fights into bigger cluster.
I find the old Kraken to be a lot better, but that is just me.
Reputation: 366It is not only you. Old Kraken was way better. As stated above he is now a crap.
God no. The new Kraken is much better in my humble opinion. Stronger ult, a passive that actually allows you to catch up/escape and an orb skill that makes your farming a piece of cake.
I like it.
Reputation: 366What I like about this patch is that Scout is finally somewhat more useful in teamfights. Plague Rider.....in your team = love it, enemy team = hate it. He is so damn overpowered.
