HOLY SHIT ITS A CRUSHMAS MIRACLE — VOTE KICK IS BACK & CONCEDE IS 4/5 AFTER 30 MINS; S2 LISTENED TO US!!!
Version 2.0.6
————-
- Added a new Alt Avatar for Gladiator: Adventure Gladiator
- Added a new Alt Avatar for Hammerstorm: Helga Hammerstorm- Based on player feedback and data from the last month of matches significant improvements to the MM algorithm have been made which should result in matches being much more balanced
- Groups waiting more than a few minutes in the queue should now find themselves being placed into a fair match much sooner than previously
* This also includes groups with very high or very low MMR that were having to wait much longer than the average queue times- Added more icons and another bundle
- Vote kick has been re-added to the game
* A kick vote against someone can only be called once every 3 minutes
- Concede now only requires 4/5 “Yes” votes after 30 minutes instead of normal 5/5
- Fixed a bunch of console errors
- Fixed an issue on the hero selection screen for the Hellbourne team
* Part of the UI was overlapping the hero selected circle and causing issues
- Can now click store item icons to view bundle/avatar/announcer preview windows
- Add Romanian language to system bar language selection combobox
- Tweak to progression interface to display 4-digit cumulative stats
- Added a “Back” button [back to player stats] for match stats panel when clicking to view another player’s stats for a particular match
- Fixed the AFK kick vote to indicate that it is team only- Items in the shop now show their total cost by default
* To see just the recipe cost, hold down control with the shop open
- Wards now have a ‘Timer’ bar above them that shows how much time is left at a glance
- Fixed a bug where Striders could get charges while on cooldown- Re-recorded Gladiator’s voice
This is the greatest patch that has ever happened in HoN. I haven’t even played it yet and I will say that. Its suspiciously like S2 is just trolling us and didn’t actually put any of these changes in. They even made matchmaking faster and re-recorded the Gladiator voice cuz it didn’t sound manly at all and was just annoying; I bet it sounds like Russel Crowe now I’m getting stoked.

Everything but the gladiator voice man. Probably the worst voicing in HoN now.
This patch is a fucking joke. They care much more about $ than about balance.
yeah what a bunch of retards caring about the company making money and stuff. screw paying our employees nerds need minor balances so they don’t have rage fits.
Obviously they won’t throw out a big balance patch just before the gosugamers final. They already stated they have a balance patch in the works
Lovin’ the changes!
Didn’t think it was possible but they actually made Gladiator’s voice worse
The new Adventure Gladiator has a pretty good voice set though – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7pt9G3zp_0 The last two sound like they were voiced by the same guy as Witch Slayer.
Bout fucking time.
VOTE KICK.
FUCK
LEAVER RATE GOING OVER 5% AGAIN
Poor Raven. Butthurt bads going to kick him because they’re getting schooled.
Kicks dont add leaves in this version
about fuckin’ time. the community has only been asking for kick-vote back since they got rid of it.
DRD #1 S2 influenc? O.o
Okay I’ll admit it. I grinned a little upon reading this. But the previous Dag/Jah post still stands.
And lol @ Raven
this patch is fucking terrible. fuck you s2, fuck you, i hope dota2 doesn’t have this retarded shit.
also i’m sure kicks do add leaves.
A S2 guy said on the forums that kicks currently dont add leaves.
They said kicks don’t add leaves. However, with 4/5 concede no reason to even have kicks.
Im mad. Was just kicked from a game beacuse we were winning too easy so they wanted to make it more challenging. Kicked me beacuse i wasent stoned like the other were. Right now i dont like vote kick very muck.
My response to kids complaining about being kicked:
If your entire team is trying to concede, but you’re the player who thinks “they will carry” or are just griefing by failing the vote because you’re mad at that who didn’t gank top when you failed your lane, you should be removed.
Yes, there’s the 4/5 concede at 30+ minutes, but there are plenty of games that are over one way or another at 15 minutes, like when their support players are 3 levels higher than your mid solo.
Most players are rarely kicked from a match. I’ve been playing HoN on 3 separate accounts since beta and can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve been kicked from a match.
Basically what I’m trying to say is that there is no reason to complain about vote kick, unless of course, you are getting kicked constantly. In which case, you may want to take a closer look at why you’re getting kicked, instead of blaming the system.
TLDR: Don’t complain about votekick. If you’re getting kicked constantly, then there is clearly something wrong with you, not the system.
Sure, i agree with what you say. This was my first kick ever and i have played since beta. Had a good farm and 7-2 score. Just THIS time i was with some stoned clan who wanted to mess around and that was annoying. I sent in a complaint anyway.
