Fayde dota 2

Fayde dota 2

hhm haven’t played since beta, but i don’t recall Fayde being imba. Fayde dota 2 y nerf?

Also, xFin is a no name pubstar clan? That’s news to me.

Correct me if I’m wrong it’s been a while but this is how it basically went.

>Fayde releases .
>HoN goes open Beta for a couple week, then retail.
>Fayde receives a lot of negative feedback, the community judge her worthless so she goes through a complete rework (some months after, somewhere around May or June) people get a grasp of her new playstyle which is jungler killer / ganker.
>Fayde Becomes a decent insta-gibber and excellent pubstomper (invis).

She gets toned-down a little bit after and they get rid of her extra illusion on ult and reduced radius and mana burn on her scythe/shadow stances, players lose interest for Fayde and she ends up being left out in the dust along with Zephyr, Gauntlet and friends

i actually prefered the community of elitists who knew how to play over the lol community which is all idiotic, and i know you will stay here playing league because if you even attempted to play dota you would do so **** and get called **** that it would be degrading ( because you didnt load up single player and do a bit of research before you dived in , ie : basic math )

tldr : leave dota to the people with innate ability

IIRC the nerf came before that game.

(June 9th for the replay)

Unless they decided to nerf again for some weird reason (I haven’t played since beta)

And the Fayde I played was the Fayde that is still here . I don’t see any new “reworks” or anything drastic like that. I just read her spell descriptions, they’re the same o.0

This is incoherent so I don’t know what you’re saying.

If you’re saying “why wouldn’t people from LOL play dota right now instead of waiting for dota 2,” it’s because DOTA is a WC3 custom game, and as such has an incredibly frustrating custom game system. It’s simply much easier to jump into games, and find a quality game in LOL than in DOTA (unless you want to take the time to find teammates or make pugs for scrims etc). That’s why I play LOL over Dota, but I will probably switch to Dota 2 (or play both) once it is out.

The fact that DOTA was able to not only survive, but thrive under WC3’s custom game system is a serious testament to just how darn good the game/genre is.

Her E was an evade/dodge active (pre-rework) it later got changed to a “Stance mode” where you can make your Q – aoe stun or aoe mana burn and W – line stun or line mana burn, depending on the situation this was quite useful, QW remained unchanged from the beginning the numbers simply got toned-down after a while.

R spawned an illusion and made you go stealth for 40-60s but good players took advantage of that illusion for scouting, auto-farming the lane or baiting their prey into unloading their nukes unto the illusion then proceed to insta-gib/codex the guy down, combined with a Geo’s Bane this hero was annoying as ****, so people cried and the illusion got removed.

Now I havent played a lot since the Kraken rework (which is about 2-3 months ago) they might have snuck a patch through though.

Bottom line is Fayde does nothing that another hero might be able to do better, stronger and faster. her skillset revolves too much around her invis, which is hard-countered by an Eye.

Been playing HoN actively since early beta, over 1000+ games, not sure who you’re calling fanboy here.

Fact is, people want more DotA ports and more DotAness to their game, and S2 can’t do that, cause now Valve’s got the license, you see 100 threads a day kids begging S2 to port techies and morphling , fixing map imbalances, sentinel/scourge ( mid gank/roshan placement) Hellbourne having the upper hand.

DotA heroes like Slardar / PotM / Pudge / Earthshaker / Tiny are top played in HoN, why? Because they’re ****ing awesome Deadwood is one of the few original S2 hero that’s viable in competitive play, then they come up with garbage like Chipper and Fayde.

People saw DotA 2.0 through HoN, but now they won’t get it, they’ve always wanted DotA, they will get it, and it’s gonna be awesome, I don’t know what S2 will have to pull off to keep their game running but, guess we’ll have to wait and see.

So autoban heroes suck huh? And we aren’t talking pub autoban – top team autoban. Chipper was the main of one of the top HoN players (Chu`), and he is what a skill intensive hero should look like. He was balanced and fun to play (hard to say of most of the new heroes in LoL).

Madman is a very strong S2 hero, one of the top carries and was a ban in competitive for some time. Maliken and Pandamonium were core to Fnatic. MSI’s trilane Str Carry strat, which kept them unbeatable until they got taken out by LOADed (eG).

Engineer, one of the strongest heroes in the games history. Nymphora, who opened up very powerful gank strategies with the mobility she provided. I could continue if you want.

New hero, Bombardier is pretty sweet too.

One of the most interesting things you hear/see whenever you watch competitive HoN is the hero diversity. An off the wall pick is made and one commentator asks another what their views are. They’re always really excited to see them and a win often comes out of a well made pick. I’ve seen rediculous teams get beaten down by a strategy that revolves around never before seen heroes in competitive, like Blood Hunter to counterpick Dr Repulsor, which crushed the enemy lineup.
