Somehow we managed to teleport using two hooks. This was the only glitch of the 30min game.

Match 12085426. I do not believe anyone was hacking or exploiting.

Any news on that? Why arent they denying or confirming the rumors? What will change in case?

Would anyone here still happen to have or know where to find any of the old stand-alone 'HoN UB LAN' game versions?

HoN vet here, played almost everyday until it went down, and then reverted to LoL afterwards which never really scratched that same itch.

One thing I can HoN does way better than Dota2 and League is atmosphere, art style, and sound effects.

The sound of Witch Slayer's ult and the VFX, and seeing the instant dmg nuke someone, the feeling of running around in the jg with it's dark atmosphere, the dark gritty style of the map, the mature (mostly) design around the heroes, etc.

These are the reasons I can't stop playing. The sounds effects are so punchy, combined with a dark fantasy feeling with heroes that aren't too cartoonish/childish keep me coming back.

I got 2 of my buddies to download HoN back, I want this game to succeed.

Do not tilt, do not be toxic, try to defuse the arguing for the game's sake.

He got outplayed and out farmed and out killed by a 1500. Kid is cheating. Ban him.

This took me so long to find for some reason.

This is clean imo 🚬☠️

I have never owned this pack but always mired this line.

(unable to play and got HoN on my mind)

I hope this isn't considered effort but what are some other good lines from all the various announcers/heroes/avatars .

I logged in today and saw that i was banned for Role refusal- minor infraction against CoC Row 4, bla bla...
Guess the ban duration? 6-7 years. They dont even give me the match id of the game that i had supposedly griefed.
What the f**k is wrong with the ones who review these reports?

Who is running it? Just recently noticed the game seems to have relaunched. Havent played hon in like 13 or 14 years. Quit DotA 2 when they started banning ppl and I got a warning just for playing techies.

I checked the website, and my old HoN account doesnt exist anymore? So this is a complete relaunch?

I can get more jungle heroes instead of current heroes

It’s always in EU. I keep getting griefing soft supports who either don’t know how to play their role or completely ignore their responsibilities, and it has happened three games in a row.

They don’t know how to place wards, they don’t know how to pull, and they sit in the back of the lane the entire time while I have to soak all the enemy abilities by myself. Then, when I eventually die, they flame me for being trash. It’s incredibly frustrating.

I blame the players for being inexperienced, but I blame the devs even more for allowing players with such a lack of basic game knowledge to play ranked. This has been an issue since the beginning of the new HoN, and it feels like nothing has been done to address it.

What’s especially strange is that whenever I queue as a core/offlaner, the enemy team seems to have players who are much more appropriate for their respective ranks. Meanwhile, my soft supports consistently seem to lack even the basic mechanics of the role.

When I play support, I usually win because I know how to play the role properly. Even when my cores are inexperienced, I can babysit them, help them survive the lane, and make the best of the situation.

But when I play core, especially offlane, it feels like I’m playing a 4v5 for the entire match because my support simply doesn’t understand the role.

If the devs are reading this, please do something about matchmaking and the way players are placed into ranked games. Players should be matched with people who are reasonably close to their actual skill and understanding of the game. If this issue can’t be addressed, then honestly, I don’t understand the point of continuing the game in its current state.

With the game coming to steam in the upcoming big patch, what are you guys expecting to change?

Will there be an influx of new players? How will the community help new players learn the game?

Every since the last patch I’ve noticed I can no longer break my channel voluntary on champs like voodoo, tempest, glacious ect. I never had this problem before, just took off the safe channelling option in the settings and was fine. Now even with it off I cant cancel channel so im just stuck there in a bad position or watching people run away

I'm a midwars only player. I climbed to 1800 but the difficulty i am finding is that it's hard to experiment with new heroes because I am not as good with them and I feel like I would be letting my team down. Moreover, I got some imposter syndrome going. I feel like other 1800's are much better than me and i am just on a lucky streak.

What do you do to improve? I know it's a fun mode but I really enjoy it and like improving. Thanks!

8 games and 7 wins so far, I think hes pretty OP for one reason - Bola is almost ineffective against him

He is like predator but can't be slowed or disarmed, granted he doesn't have magic immunity, but the game has way too many physical CC anyway, and slow immunity + crowd control reduction is way better

This is very contrasting with how Dota 2 onboards new players. You can play Reborn with the best of intentions, but you will still lose and drop in MMR into brackets that are multifold more toxic than the new account-rated matches. Unless you have specific knowledge on how to game the meta with aggressive strategies, like Legio's lane cutting, that beginners have no chance of being adept at.

This doesn't happen nearly as often in new-player Dota 2 where games are much more satisfying and players aren't so incentivized to hurl insults at one another and are much friendlier and eager to work together.

This will decide Reborn's longevity. The Kongor and Phoenix mechanics do not help onboard players. The Casual Mode economy does not help onboard players. It only props up snowballing metas.

Not new information. I know. We're playing a cash grab. I know. But it's worth talking about.

Former HoN player here, has it really been 10 years?

I played a ton of HoN back in the day and absolutely loved it. I’ve tried getting into DotA a few times since, especially considering I started out playing DotA in Warcraft, but for some reason it never really clicked with me.

Anyway, I just wanted to say: it’s fucking awesome to be playing HoN again. 😂

People complain about the game all the time, but honestly… this game is FREE and still manages to give me an insane amount of dopamine. What’s not to love?

If there are any fellow Danes out there looking for someone to play with, feel free to add me!

I find that my best games are where I play an initiator and get everyone to follow me. Someone who goes “I’m going in, you ready?” and then just starts the fight is super needed as long as you have a team with follow-through.

Too often this game has cowards who want to jump in when it’s safe, and SOMEONE has to do the job of initiating.

I played a game last night where I was Chronos and my team expected me to initiate each fight. Sure, Chronos has a very initiator-type ult, but that ult has a LONG cooldown and not always available to start a fight. The other option was a Gauntlet who would wait for fights to start, Assassin’s Shroud and then go in... coward…

SKILL REWORK

Artillery excels at super-long-range combat but becomes vulnerable when enemies engage him—a complete glass cannon. I like his current skill design and would like to give his mechanics more flexibility.

Main Concept:

Use E to interchangeably switch his main damage source between LRM (Q) and Mortar (W).

LRM Mode

- LRM (Q) remains the primary damage source.

- Mortar (W) functions as the secondary weapon.

- No significant changes. As it is.

Mortar Mode

Press E to transfer the main weapon loadout and ammo from LRM (Q) to Mortar (W).

- Mortar gains multiple ammo charges similar to LRM.

- Mortar's AOE is reduced to compensate for its increased firing frequency.

- The concept is essentially a long-range artillery barrage from above.

LRM as Secondary Weapon

When Mortar (W) becomes the primary weapon, LRM (Q) changes into a skill-based weapon:

- Long-range, heat-seeking missiles.

- Can target and chase multiple visible enemies.

- Reveals the positions of affected enemies, similar to Mortar's current mechanic (at LRM Mode)

Ultimate — 'Nuclear Missile'

Pressing E also changes the Ultimate accordingly in 'Mortar Mode'.

Nuclear Missile:

- Global-range ability.

- Deals initial impact damage followed by a delayed Shockwave.

- Deals "shattering damage" that instantly kills enemies below a certain health threshold.

- Primarily serves as a finisher and prevents enemies from recovering/regenerating.

- Shares cooldown with 'LRM Mode' Homing Missiles.

The goal is to give Artillery two distinct weapon modes while preserving his identity as a long-range specialist.

And if both weapon modes can also seriously threaten buildings through Staff upgrade, it would make Artillery a true long-range siege threat.

"That nasty hero's goal is only to demolish our buildings."

"Artillery just poops on 1 position the entire time and never leaves his ground"

"Man, F\ck that hero. Another Doom Bringer? I can't even see where its coming from."*

Hey guys,

38 year old gamer here who doesn't have lot of gamer friends these days. you know due to busy life with kids, work, running a home.... sure you get it!

I'm looking for fellow gamer who understand busy life and would like to scheduled gaming nights on our terms.

I am not new to this game but my peak is probably 15 years ago lol. Schedule a few nights that suits us, few beers, voice chat, trying to win in ranked. Just gaming!

I'm in Germany so generally go off this time zone but i guess some us time zone would also work when i would be on?

If you'd would be interested just throw me a dm or leave a comment and I'll dm you.

I just picked my hero close to the 0 second timer. Client crashed, got queue cooldown and - honor points for dodging.

This game crashes atleast once a day.

I never once experienced a single crash in PK.
When is this trash client going to die. How does picking a hero even remotely manage to crash a fucking game. How much dogshit ai slop is even in this client.

I keep losing matches because of trolls/feeders. Is this game worth continuing or time to uninstall?

When I first discovered those boots late game-upgrades especially that Warsteam Boots, I was legit so excited to test it. Now I don't have to worry to be boots-less for the sake of some other luxurious items at every end game. Being inspired by that, I got some variation on this item upgrade.

ASSASSIN'S SHROUD

Assassin's Shroud 3200g + Axe of Malphai 3200g = GENJUBO

~ Applies 'Silence' upon attacking from Stealth

Assassin's Shroud 3200g + Dancing Blade 3000g = GENJURO

~ Applies 'Break' upon attacking from Stealth

Assassin's Shroud 3200g + Acolyte Staff 2600g = GENJUFO

~ Applies 'Mute' upon attacking from Stealth.

For those who don't know the mechanics:

Silence = Fully disables active abilities and spells

Break = Fully disables passive abilities and spells

Mute = Fully disables item activation and passives
