I think I have a chance of getting really good in HoN if i keep playing. Still 15 years old and playing frequently I see my chances of getting atleast semi-professional. The only thing I need at the moment is motivation and more "playstyles" and some tips early-game wouldn't hurt... :p
I mostly play carrys or semi-carrys also and with an 0.8 KD ur not that famous (If we would take my last 50 games it would be around 1 KD atleast fosho). Now I'm not the guy who checks pro players stats, download replays and so on so i took a quick look at Blavo's stats (Mainly to see what he played the most) and when i saw his heroes i kinda knew that this would be an great oppertunity for me to learn how to initiate better, know when to dive and do that last hit and predict the enemy (Even if it can be very hard at some times).
Please don't judge me for my stats tho as i see them kinda "false", 57 CK and 8 Denies per game as carry? No, i am better than that.
THE END!
Cheers and good luck chosing a player.

Right now I'm playing in a team, my friends and I created. Sometimes we lost games because our picks were bad, We didn't play as a team or We didn't perform good in team-battles.
That's what I would like to change with the new tactics and tips I hopefully will learn from you. :D.
A little about myself and my role in my current team:
I play HoN atleast once a day and I still improve a lot. The funny thing is that we don't have any special roles in my team like carry or support. We usually swap a lot in the picking phase and play diffrent roles. I think that's very good when you are new to a game because you will find out which role that fits you. I would also like to find my role if that's possible in such a short time. My PSR is around 1600 but I'm a fast learner and with your help I will improve alot!
Best regards Rylan.
Well, I usually play support, and no-stat games, because I don't care about my PSR that much. I myself belive that if I had better judgement in game, I would play better. Therefor I wan't to learn a bit from a pro.
Cheers

I'd like you to pick me because I know I've got the potential to become better at this game,
I just need some guidance. I'm one of those typical carry players, farm, farm, farm and win the game, (hopefully.)
However that doesen't always work, and it really takes away the fun in the game, I do really enjoy playing gankers and roamers such as magmus, andro and slither, I just don't know how to utilize their full potential effictively.
Due to farming being boring, I've almost quit hon and playing like 2-3 games a week.
Sure, I can stomp 1700-1800s fairly easy, but my goal is a little bit higher than that :)
Best regards,

I am one of your biggest fan. I have followed your growth since the days of TooTactial (back then Jakiro was your girlfriend - sorry to put personal information here). Ever since I've laid my eyes on your supernatural HoN/DotA skills, Inever stopped day dreaming on how it would feel like to lane with you. Sometimes, when playing HoN and I'm in a tight spot, I would ask myself, "What will Blavo do?" Sadly, before I can think of an answer... I'm already dead.
After reading this article, I pinched myself twice and stared at the clock for a good minute, just to make sure I am not dreaming. Since my cheeks are now incredibly sore and the clock is not running fast, I'm guessing it's safe to say that I am not. Anyways, I'm sorry I feel like I'm rambling (hihi). As I was saying, with you in the same game as me, I don't have to think "What Would Blavo Do?" Instead, you can just shout at me to what to do.
I hope I would soon have the honor to play with you.
One of Your Biggest Fan,

P.S. I'm a girl
It has come to my attention that European people are bad. I am here to rectify this. By choosing me as a lane mate, I will teach you, and your European compadres (french?) exactly how awesome Canadians are at HoN. By training in sub-zero temperatures year round, wearing sweatsuits and hitting old tires with a sledgehammer, I have become an unstoppable laning machine. Now I am here, in your hour of need to show you the power of Canadia. If you choose me, not only will Canada receive it's first ever flash memory stick (that wasn't destroyed in the great log cabin fire of 99'), but you will also extend the branch of friendship between two torn continents and possibly usher a new era of fusion cuisine that nobody will eat.
All I ask is you think carefully of the possibilities of what really could happen if you chose me, a Canadian, over these estranged freeloader nations.
Also pick me because I like HoN.
I think you should pick me to lane with Blavo because I would like to learn the tricks and skills it takes to become a pro in HoN. I have been playing HoN since the beta and never really got into the serious scene. Only recently have I been watching videos and watching what the pros do so I can boost my skills in game. If I had the chance to lane with Blavo then I know my skills as a HoN player will increase and I will feel confident to take on the pros!

I'm a massive noob. I pick badly vs lineups. I cant last/hit or deny. I try help my team mates to no avail. I constantly die by chasing after that hero in the back with 50hp. When I miraculously manage to get gold I always buy the worst items situated to the game. I always seem to be the bait with no backup.
Please help. I cry myself to sleep at night.
Over the past few years I've played many games, mainly first person shooters, and had the honour to play with some of the top tier teams. From yo-yo tech in cod4, to scrimming with and against with some professional 1.6 players including Robban. The experience has always been amazing, even if it ends in a heavy defeat, because you learn a lot more than you think - and if you don't you get bragging rights. I love hearing HenryD's professional insight on honcast and would love to have Blavo's on my game.
