Silly bonuses?
The bonus spells you can choose to take from game to game with you. In HoN and DoTA each player has 4 spells, in LoL they've got that plus (iirc) 2 you can take with you through all games.
There is a lot of bad players in LoL but I LOVE the art style and some of the champions. I liked HoN but got tired of getting told to get back into the kitchen, and so many other original jokes.
I got into vent with a group of guys and had my girlfriend talk to them. I was kicking ass and they were all like 'omg can i add you on facebook?! can i get your email so we can play again? want to be in my clan?? be my friend please?!?'
It all matters on how good you are. You suck and they'll tell you to go to the kitchen, if you play well they will want to have your babies.
Like I mentioned earlier though, it's all about which bracket you're in. The lower brackets (1500 and lower) are infested with young kids and painfully bad noobs. The 1600-1900 brackets are mostly mature, 18+ who want to have fun as well as win games. The trick to HoN is when you find someone in a game that you enjoy playing with, add them as a friend and play with them.
That's the purpose of this thread. To find fellow Geekhackers to play with, to exponentially increase the fun level of HoN.
I was once stuck in the 1200s due to a string of bad games and bad teams, and it was horrible. If there was a disk I would have taken it out and frisbeed it at a wall. I ended up paying $10 for a new account over Christmas and reset my stats
