@Ryodakun Actually IIRC people thought that Sil would be useless and too complicated for her own good until they played her and realized how good she was. People thought Ra would be OP, but he's not (his passive was only OP because of a bug which caused it to deal true damage instead of magic, which has been since fixed). Not sure how Parasite will be, I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow.
@Ranaki His job is to keep underfarmed support heroes low level, and to pick off carries before they do too much damage in teamfights. Not to mention he has a slow (to help team chase) and a silence (to shut down casters or channeling spells). He does just as much as deadwood in a teamfight.
@LunaFiTinG you don't buy it in the store....you go to their website and purchase an account directly from it. afterwards, you just download the client, install then play.
@FlamebaitV3 Played him for quite some games now. He is not that imbalanced, considering he has no way to stun. His gank potential depend heavily on the orange creep spot closest to the sidelane. If you invest heavy into Infest, you may get unlucky... And theres always encounters where no creep is close. Then infest is sadly useless. Most of the time though, he can't do much until he got his items. It's like with every forest hero, he needs 20 minutes to get ready, maybe more.
@Lennart50 He only steals buffs that's are green, and passes debuff's with his ulti. SoulStealers ulti is a not a buff or a changeling spell, it's a spell with just a long casting time. Parasite also can't steal in aura's.
@Ranaki I thought he was pretty bad too, but you've gotta try him out with different items before you judge him. I mean yea he's not a GREAT hero, far from OP. And yes, codex IS core on him. Once you get the hang of him, you'll learn that his passive skill is where he shines. One auto attack, his ult, his first spell once or twice and a level 5 codex is over 2000 damage. Also, I think you mean "lose button."
@VirtualAidz He's actually not that op. Damage numbers are significantly high for any of his skills, just just does really well against debuff based heroes like slither or dsham/glacius.
@Urmezawa I think Ra was an attempt to add another initiation hero into the game, although, he's really crappy. I guess that Aluna was the latest aggresive int hero to come, but I'm all on your side! Another hero to have the ability of replace Behe or Magmus would rock, just as well as having an aggressive aoe int guy! :)
@DucAtHome well, if you read the Red label at bottom of screan u could see it says: CAUTION: ONLY S2 CAN INFEST KONGOR! But it would be very funny if you could i admit ^^
@si2foo How long is the buff up though? Don't you think it's easily countered by putting a single stun on him? The venom only affects one enemy, so it's not OP at all, as that person will most likely be protected. the ULT though seems pretty nice, and the infest seems to have lots of possibilities! :) On a first look, I'd consider him pretty balanced :)
@trevarfran I knw, my first impression was that and they gave him a humanoid body, but I am sure of it that he is based off an existing old concept art of slither. :o
start: ring of the teacher +2x mana pot >Steamboots>codex>abysis skull> codex upgrade> asassins shroud> null stone and dont know the attack modifyer yet, or maybe behe heat to get more tanky` what do u think about this build?
Parasite's skills are cool and all, but is it me does his model look familiar? I once saw an Old Slither Concept art who looked like Parasite, the face, the cannon arm, and those spores around his body. I guess they actually did revive that old concept art, which to me is cool.
@TheDisturbed0ne1 Yeah but problem with RA is he needs again huge farm to be any usefull for initating. And its more a tank initation like armadon/kraken. Than anything like a strong counter initater like behe / magmus. Yeah aluna imo was last really good hero they implemented. I think silluette was nice they implemented another usefull range carry other than flint and SS or puppet. Specially after her nerf.
Of course it's possible to play both :D No one is restricted to one game. Both are fun and it's up to player preference. I enjoy both styles, so yeah :)
@poopalisk Because a move that does damage and slows a single target is so original. Oh wait, DotA had one of those. No wait, more like a hundred of them.
@ColorMyGameboy You do realize its two separate teams that designs/code heroes and handle servers right? Oh and champions, either got trolled or a loler, yay.
@Elleniceone The only heroes of any use in the last few patches has been: Aluna, Sil and Nomad. Martyr is OK, but none of the others have even been close of OP :P (Gotta say that it's fairly OK to call Sil OP before nerf though, as she now is pretty balanced!) Heroes like HB, TB, SS, Magmus, Pharao, Tort, and lot's of more are mostly way better to use! :)
Wait, a question; What happens if you facehuggs someone with cursed ground on you? Will they take the % dmg that you should've taken, or does the counter reset?
i will admit the spotlights for HON are a bit better than lol
austin prince yes yes.
Dota spotlights are also cool
Haha, the tables have turned I guess
this is the most aesthetically appealing hero spotlight ive ever seen!
These videos have gotten so much better with Smyger! SMYGER IS THE MAN!!
These intros keep getting better and better.
@LookyPeter you should've read the red text below the scene in which kong was infested
When it sai "prepare to be infested" and the word infested flickered, did anyone else rewind it to make sure it said infested all along?
I love how scout dies in every spotlight XD
wow this hero seems really fun to play. especially in the early since he can gank so easily
Yes, this dude was almost always in the meta up until HoN's end.
@@savagekruger77insta pick or insta ban 🤣🤣
@Ryodakun Actually IIRC people thought that Sil would be useless and too complicated for her own good until they played her and realized how good she was.

Not sure how Parasite will be, I guess we'll have to wait until tomorrow.
@Hjerpe88 their is departements, in s2, Maintenance and fixing stuff is far from designer jobs
Hmm.. so.. im thinking.. You can buffsteal Magmus' steam bath and/or Valkyrie's Prism?
@Ranaki His job is to keep underfarmed support heroes low level, and to pick off carries before they do too much damage in teamfights. Not to mention he has a slow (to help team chase) and a silence (to shut down casters or channeling spells). He does just as much as deadwood in a teamfight.
0:28 lol him chasing down that hellbringer, that was spotlight material?
@LunaFiTinG you don't buy it in the store....you go to their website and purchase an account directly from it. afterwards, you just download the client, install then play.

@MannMitKot i think there was a contest about alt avatars and leprechaun blacksmith did pretty good so most liely yes
u guys getting better with each video, well done!
@LookyPeter did u not watch the video numb, it sfaid only S2 can which means WE cant
@Lennart50 He only steals buffs that's are green, and passes debuff's with his ulti. SoulStealers ulti is a not a buff or a changeling spell, it's a spell with just a long casting time. Parasite also can't steal in aura's.
@Urmezawa That's his point... He quoted someone else and said they are in different teams.
@OkamiSojirou magmus' steam bath has 0s fade time i think.. but i guess you can take valks prism
@Speccor Looks more like Maokai with the single gigantic arm imo
@Ranaki I thought he was pretty bad too, but you've gotta try him out with different items before you judge him. I mean yea he's not a GREAT hero, far from OP. And yes, codex IS core on him. Once you get the hang of him, you'll learn that his passive skill is where he shines. One auto attack, his ult, his first spell once or twice and a level 5 codex is over 2000 damage. Also, I think you mean "lose button."
@Elunayme Correct, he's godly once you have codex or hellflower.
@VirtualAidz He's actually not that op. Damage numbers are significantly high for any of his skills, just just does really well against debuff based heroes like slither or dsham/glacius.
@Urmezawa

I claim copyright of that voice for Pebbles.
@ZaCoder you can test it by yourself creating a pratice match and test it up
@DucAtHome well, if you read the Red label at bottom of screan u could see it says: CAUTION: ONLY S2 CAN INFEST KONGOR!
But it would be very funny if you could i admit ^^
What do you guys think about what is Pebbles trying to say?
best year hon!
Wow really cool hero =)
Probably one of my new most played hehe :D
The new s2 heroes are really great, thanks !
@Zexionlol yeah i thought that too but more like
"Not idea but there is a noob in the forest ... not pounce on night hound"
One of the best heros s2 made the last few months
@dollsage I think Tremble's alt skin has the same face as this guy.
@airpok It appears to be an Int hero actually.
@si2foo
How long is the buff up though? Don't you think it's easily countered by putting a single stun on him? The venom only affects one enemy, so it's not OP at all, as that person will most likely be protected. the ULT though seems pretty nice, and the infest seems to have lots of possibilities! :) On a first look, I'd consider him pretty balanced :)
Being able to swap Jera's ulti even when he has magic immunity seems a bit silly to me.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it works.
Haha, these vids get more awesome each time. Once again, nice work S2!
Ok, he can exchange vj's cursed ground and get wildsouls wild and corrupted deciples ultimate?
@trevarfran I knw, my first impression was that and they gave him a humanoid body, but I am sure of it that he is based off an existing old concept art of slither. :o
start: ring of the teacher +2x mana pot
>Steamboots>codex>abysis skull> codex upgrade> asassins shroud> null stone and dont know the attack modifyer yet, or maybe behe heat to get more tanky`
what do u think about this build?
@g3orgios dont u think that it is different people working on new heros and diffrent people working on fixing server maby?
These outros keep getting better and better.
NARHNAGHARGHA NOOB IN THE FOREST ARGAGHAHNRG
These were the days where epic hon spotlight openings existed.
@Hjerpe88
You think the server guys aren't testing out the new heroes for fun?
@dnbAlexi Haven't played LoL for a long time, but I remember it have more stabile servers and they have longer uptime than HoN's servers
What happenens if you use it's ulti on Night Hound? :P
@nimkal There's bound to be more than one mind that thought of that ulti and more than one game with it.
@LucaVerciani lol i know.
me and my friends were goin kamakaze with the spellboxes.
If u get abyssal skull, Refreshing ornament and other hp regen items on the vagabond king with his hp regen aura u can last like 3 mins inside it
Parasite's skills are cool and all, but is it me does his model look familiar? I once saw an Old Slither Concept art who looked like Parasite, the face, the cannon arm, and those spores around his body. I guess they actually did revive that old concept art, which to me is cool.
@NotNamedName why you fall for the trap of the troll?
@2legit2quit67 there already was one but it was just a little one - from 2.0.35.1 to 2.0.35.2 or so
@SharinganUser4tw Precisely. Hence, is it really that OP?
@Fowskii
So you base your decision on thing that actually does not have anything with detalis of the champion you watching?
@BttClass
which takes us back to:
He's a good 1 vs 1 hero yes.
But does not suite for teamfights and a game where teamplay is important.
can tell already that this hero is epically OP
why doew it kill scout evrytime....
How I missed this game.
@DeWarp10 It's not OP. We just haven't found a counter for it, oh wait.. Null stone and hellflower.
But Why Parasite Cannot Control, Konggor Again ? This year
Ahmad Hafis S2 Member only !
@TheDisturbed0ne1
Yeah but problem with RA is he needs again huge farm to be any usefull for initating. And its more a tank initation like armadon/kraken. Than anything like a strong counter initater like behe / magmus.
Yeah aluna imo was last really good hero they implemented. I think silluette was nice they implemented another usefull range carry other than flint and SS or puppet. Specially after her nerf.
i thought blacksmith alt avatar got psotponed to next week?
Can parasite steal soulstealers ult? If he can, how? after its done or while charging?
@Psykoglory Not, that's the flamboyant pack.
The intro Parasite animations are fucking sick!
The buff/debuff moving ult thingy does it also work on BH ult and slither ult?
does parasite steal empath of she's riding on ur enemy using ulti? if so thats imba O_o
only S2 members can infest kongor what mean?
please make a custom game where you have to deliver packages as goblin courier
MS Pudding do you mind if we get Nigma to do the voice in just one spotlight? I miss him!
@CLvanCetra
obviously members of S2, yknow, the company that made the game? like, the developers?
Of course it's possible to play both :D No one is restricted to one game. Both are fun and it's up to player preference. I enjoy both styles, so yeah :)
@OkamiSojirou that's the counter for every intelct hero....
is his ultimate a skillshot or a single target?
i would prefer the skillshot
I want to see how many people stuff up when facing this guy because they don't know what his ulti does
@poopalisk
Because a move that does damage and slows a single target is so original.
Oh wait, DotA had one of those. No wait, more like a hundred of them.
wow that shop
i hope that means a change about that observery shop thing
at least they should add rev wards dust and tps scrolls (and probably eye)
@Psykoglory Thats the flamboyant pack..
No one told me Quadropod Tremble had a spare head and gave it to his brother.
@ColorMyGameboy
You do realize its two separate teams that designs/code heroes and handle servers right?
Oh and champions, either got trolled or a loler, yay.
@DarksorrowTwink
You must be Sherlok Holmes
who ordered the codex as the first item? SOME NOOB IN DA FOREST (Arnold sounds)
did jera just get a counter?
Worst thing that will happen to you:
Armadon:SWEET DOUBLE DAMAGE!
Parasite:HAPPY BIRTHDAY ARMADON! *Facehugs*
Armadon: FUUUUUUUUUUUUU
@frederik164 omg *sigh* you did bring it up and the lack of smileys means that you are feeling pwnd.
Goblin: "Do you know who ordered the codex as the first item?"
Pebbles: "Blah,blah, theres a noob in the forest."
I like S2 more and more. :-D
can it steal hammerstorm ult? if he can its so op.
I've been playing LoL for a while now. I want to know if this is worth getting/playing. Give me you opinoins on which one is better at what.
Because everything deals "Tons of Damage"?
@bobmoult
i think something in your head is broken.
@Alandar565 I doubt either Nigma or Sweby knows how to fix servers
@Elleniceone
The only heroes of any use in the last few patches has been: Aluna, Sil and Nomad. Martyr is OK, but none of the others have even been close of OP :P (Gotta say that it's fairly OK to call Sil OP before nerf though, as she now is pretty balanced!)
Heroes like HB, TB, SS, Magmus, Pharao, Tort, and lot's of more are mostly way better to use! :)
Wait, a question;
What happens if you facehuggs someone with cursed ground on you? Will they take the % dmg that you should've taken, or does the counter reset?
can facehug steal predator stone form buff?
Looks like an op hero from this spotlight. Let's see him ig.
"Comming this friday" It's 20 min left of Friday
Why the victim is always scout?
The best Hero that S2 made in a while :))
