When the new version will be hosted on bot please fix fountain tower range. Warden blinked and get healed every time and tower cant attack him, I suggest to increase range of the tower. Else towers became useless when the enemy can get healed.

a warden or pala into enemy fountain are useless anyway, they can't kill champs or move , so where is the prob?

Problem is Blink that he get away and abuse fountain to get healed so he can chase more heroes, that's the problem however pala have its weakness and can be killed but wd his blink have short cooldown and he can escape

Die Hure still alive

ty mate

wouldnt it be better to name it "Combo Random" ?
because "Mega Random" sounds like the random system goes nuts and you even have a chance to heroes of the other side... ^^

and when randoming you've still the chance to repick?

Well, I've already removed it (changelog is not updated). It was fun, but it was really lack of new combos, always the same, I didn't want to add new ones, so in the current version there is "All Random" (i.e. the only difference from classic is that you can't pick) mode. Also there were a couple of people who were whining that "it's too hard", blah-blah.

No, you couldn't repick.

alright.

ty for the pretty fast answer

Ok, here is minor changes to be done:

- fight zone not working right some spells can go through
- linch ulty is too much dmg
- ax/dh ulty change maybe reduce hp increase on ulty
- think dmg aura are game changing in late game

Do you mean laming with waves, death & decay, etc.? I'm OK with it:)

haha, the only one? The problem with Mega Random is lack of multifarious combos.

If you can define, let's say, 10 combos, we'll bring Mega Random back.

ok, but 10 is too much, but i will make as much i can combos, where can i see all heroes on one place?

Here is 7 Combos, you can add your combos, so we will have at last 10.


For the win.

Do you think that 4th combo is balanced? 3 stunners vs 1.

yes, there are too much heals in combo maybe change arthas with panda?

They way of balance is start fix old pathetic hero unbalance. Remember when the combo for horde was op and for alliance as well. All thanks to lazyness and dissagreemed that this map needs fixes. However check my noob terrain art. It might be good game when i finish alliance side too. First need change the look of the visual environment then move on object editor & trigger editor. Middle will be awesome for gankig  
Mega Random will make only things worse because you will have unbalanced heroes that needeed fixes. This voting trigger is a really dumb. As well as mega random mode. I'm sure most of remaining alive players agreed that -random was better. You get random hero if u want combo u could pick. Vote for all random brings u unbalanced combo and no one can pick

P.S Mine version will be better than J.P's  Thanks for the map rigths

Given these new trees on the map's borders game will be way balanced and fascinating.  

EddieBG wrote:P.S Mine version will be better than J.P's 

Sure, your map must be better than non-existent one.

Today just finished Horde side. Tested boss area with lich ultimate its nearly impossible to help your allies with it. I will do the same for alliance boss area. About the trees they are indestructible so any flame strike and stuff like that wont cut the trees. As I said before first need do things good like open middle make environment good, before moving on object editor and trigger editor.

Today i finaly finished alliance side too. there is the screen shots. I hope you like it.






P.S For those critics that can say terrain isn't high quality. Well sorry but i'm not a hiveworkshop terrain editor with awesome resourcess. That stuff was me keep in mind that this terrain edition is made by a noob(Me). Soon I will announce changes and other stuff in triggers and object editor.

Hey guys, long time no see. I wanted to say hi and a few things also.

First of all it's great to see that there is still some players, discutions about balance and changes in the current HnA + Eddie working on a new one.
I have plenty of things to say about this actually.

Eddie, do you want this to be an HnA 4.0 (current is 3.0x) or a NEW Heroes and Armies ?
Since you're doing a new map why not change some stuff in HnA to make it more exciting with new game dynamics, new gameplay and new items ?

Because when i look your map at the moment (i like the estetics of it btw) it is, for me, still the exact same HnA.
- > 2 lines
- > nothing in middle (could be a other line, a neutral place where to fight, some boss)
- > nothing new on the top and bottom sides either (the "dark place" at night is a bit bigger, it won't make a huge difference in the obvious "ganking" at night)
Since the map doesn't change you can't really change the dynamics of the game.
You and many other people (including me) had criticized HnA many times. Saying "This is nice, this is bad, this should be here, this should not, ect." but if you doesn't change the map layout, you can't force a change in gameplay.

We all, more or less, have different ideas about what a good HnA would look like. But we can all (or most of them) agree that if games like DotA2, LoL and so on are more popular it's also because of their gameplay. LoL relies a lot about skillshots : using a skill that will not work 100%, unlike any targetable skill (for exemple the bolt from MK is targetable and won't miss unless antimagic is used. Volcano is more a skill shot type of skill). It's way more exciting to have a lot of skillshots than just a few. How many times in HnA you say thanks to your mate when he did a good volcano to save you or used DL ult to start a fight. It's more exciting because you can miss it, people can dodge it, you can fake when you throw your spell, ect. Same things apply in DotA2 also : you have a lot of spells that have low or mid aoe but when you can't target anyone, you have to cast it well (+ the cast time can be low or not).
In DotA and LoL you have roles, in HnA, well... you're forced to one or two roles : a healer will be forced to support and a hero like panda will be forced to carry. Well guess what, in DotA you can have a int hard carry the game and a huge disabler with stuns as a support.
In HnA this is not really possible because of the skills that the hero have. Also, the map layout force you to play one way and that's it.
I can count of my hand the number of games where someone surprised me with his build + playstyle because you have no space nor items to do this.

Maybe it's time to change things, the number of players that left the game tells a lot about this.

I have many, many, many things to say on the top of all of this. But, like 80% of my long posts i might have shit answers and nothing will change. Prove me than i'm wrong there.
