Typical play in a 1750 Matchmaking

Tonight I was treated to some of this riveting action in my high level MM game. Bro I just uploaded my first HD video, you mad? KingRaven, if you’re watching pick up some tips from this Pyro. What do you guys want to see next? The world’s worst Nymphora ult or Bdiz missing a Smackdown kill, then getting shit slammed by Rusty X along with his teammate? Cheers.

Raven Chews Out the Support

Heh this Feynn kid

Ran into this Feynn kid in a matchmaking game.  This guy is a total twat who used to ban people 24-7 from IHL for no good reason.

So I check his stats and he’s 45% Pollywog Priest.  This pub’s got more games of Pollywog Priest than most people have of HoN, and he’s fucking terrible at it.  Maide’s HoN Stats has him with a lower winning percentage with PP than with the rest of his heroes combined.

Turns out all he does is rush Stormspirit and go around trying to ward trap people.  Game after game after game after game after game.  Meanwhile the carries on the other team free farmed a 12 min Savage Mace and are shitting damage onto his face. Nuff said…

DUMPSTER STATUS CONFIRMED

Matchmaking Scoop

The latest Hon Patch (1.02) unfortunately switched from using the always fun Banning Draft (BD) mode back to the oppressively boring Banning Pick (BP) mode for Solo Matchmaking.  If you love seeing the same heroes and bans every game, wasting an extra three minutes before the game not playing but making these turds of picks, or otherwise having a terrible experience then you are stoked about this change.  Sure BP might be the best mode for competitive team tournaments, but Solo Matchmaking should use a different mode, and BD was working great for it!  Support BD or at least something other than BP for Solo Matchmaking on Hon Forums.

Something else that was changed: S2 added a maximum spread to the games so you don’t end up in games with people whose ratings are really different from yours.  Now games can take 10 or more minutes to start instead of 1-2, and no more steamrolling noobs .  Check out some players I was placed with one game in the old setting:

A 1300 along with two 1200s and two 1000s; the kind of epic garbage that makes KingRaven’s Chronos look good.  Dumping on pubs this bad is most of the reason my ranked stats are 16-1 right now, and damn that shit was fun.

Alas, even with competition this terribad Clan Milk International’s leader, Milkfat, still felt the need to stack the teams to swindle some wins.  Private Investigator and Solace wannabe “Zerak” dug up some great dirt showing Milkfat stacking teams with his goons who would either try really hard or intentionally feed the way to a Milkfat victory depending on which team they ended up on.  (It’s pretty easy to get in the same matchmaking game with people you know by hitting the search button at the same time, since it is a not a popular setting yet.)  Check out this tantalizing excerpt:

But then you start to notice that the same two players are repeatedly showing up in this guys Match Making games “MadFred” and “PanMan”. And in every game where they’re not on the same team as Milkfat they feed to a more or less obvious degree, from grabbing 4 homecoming stones at game start to repeatedly port out and run into the enemy tower. Or just standing still whenever getting ganked by Milkfat.
