Can Ellonia survive this?
I have had an argument with my friends here, i believe Ellonia can survive this situation even though Flux is late to react to the situation. Match ID = 128039477
On this first image Scout and Circe have just initiated on Ellonia, Scout come out of Vanish and surprised Ellonia and Circe followed up with his stun. Scout has just finished his 4th auto attack after Circe has stunned Ellonia and now Scout has a cd on his next attack. Circe can still get one more auto attack in at this point which will take Ellonia down to enough hp that any next auto attack will kill her from Scout or Circe.

On this next image Scout is about to start his 5th auto attack, if Scout gets his auto attack off Ellonia will die from 1 more hit from Circe as she will go down to very low hp allowing Circe to finish Ellonia off. Circe has just started her auto attack now and will connect in a moment or so. Flux can pull Ellonia towards him now which will cancel Scouts auto hit which should allow Ellonia to get away with with low hp as Circe can not kill Ellonia right now as the auto attack does not do enough damage to finish Ellonia off with 62 hp remaining. Neither players have marchers yet and Flux can slow Scout with his release ability allowing Ellonia to get away after he pulls Ellonia towards him.

On this image we see the moment just before Scout's auto attack hits Ellonia, Flux has just started to cast his magnetic surge (ability which pulls the target towards Flux) and Circe has just started to cast her auto attack now which will connect in the next second or so.
http://i.imgur.com/j3mWV3i.jpg
On this image we can see Flux has cast his Magnetic Surge (ability which pulls the target towards Flux) on Scout instead of Ellonia and has missed his window to save Ellonia as Scout has got his 5th auto attack off which has taken Ellonia down to enough hp to die from Circe's next auto attack, which as u can see is travelling to Ellonia right now and Ellonia will die as soon as this ranged auto attack from Circe connects with Ellonia.
http://imgur.com/C5KJeXy
On this image we see Ellonia dying to Circe's auto attack which was able to kill Ellonia as Scout got his last auto attack in which allowed Circe to kill her. This is also showing the cooldown on Scout's Vanish as i believe Scout would not have caught Ellonia if Flux had of pulled Ellonia instead of Scout and following up by a slow on Scout. Scout did not have Marchers either so with Flux's slow i believe he would not have caught Ellonia.

I believe Ellonia can survive this incident if Flux had of used magnetic surge on Ellonia and after slowing Scout with his Release ability giving enough time for Ellonia to escape as Scout has a 12 second CD on Vanish still.
I would like to hear your opinions on this guys please feel free to give your thought on the situation whether u belive Ellonia could have survived this or if u believe Flux could not saved him.

[Question] Clan is Leaderless
I wanted to change the leader of my clan from my main account to my new account so I promoted my new account to an officer and left the clan in hopes that the leader role would move over to my new account. sadly it didn't and I recently found out how to correctly assign a new clan leader, but atm my clan is Leader less. Could you place my account as the leader of the clan?

[Interface] New ingame minigame
Hey all!
I started to think how people could have a chance to get avatars on sale quicket because of an app thread in GD.
Why not reward players with "tokens" after games which can be used to play something like a slot machine(?). Say you need 3 games for one token. You insert the token, pull the lever and hope you have some luck.
Rewards would be reduced cost on avatars, announcers, taunts etc. But just at reduced price, nothing free...unless S2 feels generous and adds some free items.
Example: I play 3 games to get a token. Now I have a chance to play the game. I insert the token, pull lever (would be just clicking in the game) and hope I get a combination for free stuff or reduced price on a certain item. I then may choose to buy it or refuse and get back to playing HoN again to earn some tokens.
Maybe add somekind of bonus with your account level or make it work somehow with the account levels.
This would motivate people to play more often and if done with connection to account levels, motivate people to play on the main account.
Any thoughts?

Are people from some geographical locations blocked from queueing USE/USW?
I remember a while ago HoN was nearly unplayable ("HEUEHUEHEUEHAEUHEUAEHRAEBGHUASBHJDG," every game), and S2 announced that it was going to geographically segregate its playerbase. I also remember that there was a big stink on the forums as undesirables protested their banishment from real HoN.
Did that ever take place? What exactly are the geographical limitations?

Heya there!
I'm looking for players who'd like to join a group of people who are motivated, and serious enough about this game. And who are willing to play in a team.
Me, myself, I ain't that good, got stucked in the 1300 bracket for way to long, mainly due to bad plays etc. I'm looking for some lower bracket players. We'll do some matches, and see how it goes no rage, or trashtalks etc. Just serious, and fun.
Add me and we'll see how it goes. I'm from the Netherlands, so GMT +1

Woodpuppet Ymir and Scoutzo the Clown's Skill Icons
I noticed that Ellonia's alt Woodpuppet Ymir has the normal skill icons, which I find weard.. Becouse they are blue, when all his skills are purple. The same thing is with scout's new alt Scoutzo, why does he not have different skill icons? It just looks kind off weard to look at the old ones, when they dont look any similar with the skills. And btw, noticed that Woodpuppet Ymir is still boughtable, even though it is a limited edition avatar, and the time has ended long time ago? :'D Or is he part of these limited edition sales that are going on at the moment?

I bought the game way back and played throughout the early access system, even bought a few of them. I drifted around from Moba to moba. Dota, League, etc. I decided to get back and play some HoN. And after my long hiatus I am enjoying the game again :)

[Misc] Store App
I was just thinking that if there were some sort of mobile application, say for android or ios, that in some way slightly mirrored the in-game store that it would be awesome. I'm not talking about actually being able to make purchases although that would be nice in the long term. But what I'm really interested in is knowing what's on sale. I'm not sure about some of you guys, but there are days where I don't get on to play or log onto hon at all because who really has time to always be in-game right. But what sucks sometimes is that there are sales that go on, and maybe an avatar you really covet was offered for sale and you miss on it.
Therefore, if there were some sort of buddy app for your smartphone that would let you know what was being put on sale that would be tremendous in helping everyone acquire the avatars they want. Detractors might say that being online and getting a sale deal are for those that are putting in the time and being loyal by playing, but i think having an app would only increase revenues for S2 since people will now have an incentive to buy in-game items even if they had not planned to play that day.
EX: "me at work": *DING* Guan Yu is 25% off in the HON store! "oh snaps, gotta get on that action"

Big Hon video project
My friend got and idea about long Hon video which would include one epic/big/awesome play by every hero in the pool. I got inspired about the idea and I'm now asking you Hon players: Would you be interested to make such a video? It would require lot of replays to make it happen. I'm just curious is there enough players to approve this kind of project. What you guys think of it?

[Interface] Invite a friend to join your match to control a leaver's hero
Hi,
I don't know if this has been ever suggested, but it's something I just thought of:
We all know leavers are a really annoying thing and it makes a match very often a sure loss.
So wouldn't it be pretty neat, if you could just invite a friend to join your game and take control of the leaver's hero?
He could join maybe after the 5-minute kick mark, or even while the timer is counting down (if the player who has disconnected reconnects, your friend would go back into spectator modus or something).
I think that would do a big part in fixing the leaver problem.

The Fabric of Identity - A Serious Discussion
In this thread, we will be discussing identity, sexuality, gender, and related topics. This thread is inspired by a conversation that began in Balphagore's Belly.
Some topics discussed here may appear offensive, but hard truths are often offensive. I would ask that we exercise as much respect and restraint as is possible. We've got a lot more in common than we do different, remember!
Context may be found on pages 815-818 in Balphagore's Belly. Much of the serious discussion begins on page 817.
I'll begin by restating my basic, contentious question: How does transexuality inform our understanding of gender and identity, and can we accept this definition?
To the best of my knowledge, the answer must be no. Here's why:
1. Gender is, in reality, a fairly small aspect of identity. Society has formed gender roles, which teach people to believe things about themselves based on their gender. These are, however, false. Identity is highly individuated and determining if someone is male or female tells you almost nothing about a person.
2. If point 1 is accepted, then it follows that any identity we possess is either that which we have authored ourselves or which we have taken on from those before us, willingly or by mistake.
3. If point 1 and 2 are true, then it is incoherent to say "I am a woman in a man's body", because this statement is the same as "I am a human in a human's body".
4. Therefore, transexuality is fundamentally dependent on the belief that the genders are inherently different. If this is true, then point 1 must also be false, as this would mean that much of our identity is just the gender we are born with, and outside of our control. This is a significant regression in human understanding of gender, and it opens up the potential space for legitimized sexism (If the genders are different, then different treatment may be the correct manner of doing things).
The above argument, of course, relies on a certain definition of transexuality. It may be that modern transexuals, who we will hear from later, hold a different view. One poster, Calloniel, introduces the concept of "gender fluidity", which may help solve this problem. It's important, however, to emphasize the importance of the contradictions presented above, and the challenges they present to modern understandings of these issues.
I will post a second post where I respond to Calloniel's most recent argument in BB shortly.

What websites do you go to for REAL game reviews?
Lets face it, most of the big websites cannot be trusted when reviewing games. Any game that advertises on the site tends to get extra sympathy points.
I think metacritic.com is decent, but you often have to skip the first several reviews because they are clearly schills for the game company. I find the best (or at least most honest) reviews come from gamers in forums like this. While i wouldnt trust any talk about other mobas here, i do trust most folks talking about things like rts, mmos, etc as there is little to gain in lying.
I just wondered if anyone had any good, legit websites for game reviews/previews.
