PREXUS'S PROFILE

Even then you shouldn't stay in one lane for too long; gotta mix it up a lot. I think I stay in one lane until about level 6 and then I'm all over the place.

Certain heroes benefit from being in one lane, some benefit from roaming.

For example, in Heroes of Newerth, Sand Wraith (Spectre in DotA) is a hard carry (hard to beat late game) but requires farm (lots of money.) He is best placed in the short lane (Top for Hellbourne, bottom for Legion) and left to last-hit and deny for a huge level advantage and money advantage. This can be done solo or with a partner, but regardless, he should never leave that lane unless its to kill a hero with his ultimate, or win the game. Literally.

Then there are heroes like Magmus (Sand King in DotA) or Pebbles (Tiny in DotA) who do exceptionally well as a solo-mid hero. The reason for them to solo mid is so that they can get a quick farm and level advantage over the side lanes. As soon as they hit level 6, they should be going between lanes, and using their abilities (Avalanche/Throw combo with Pebbles, Ultimate+Portal Key/Stun combo with Magmus) to kill heroes. Because they have on average a two-level advantage, the heroes they are killing are often able to be one-shot with these combos, and will suffer greatly because the ganker (Magmus/Pebbles) will get lots of EXP and Money from the kill, which they use to hold an advantage, and the heroes that die stay at a disadvantage. Done often enough to the same 1-2 heroes, you can effectively reduce the game to a 5v4/3.

Most heroes are capable of Soloing mid, but some benefit from it so much more than others it is sickening.

Radnen- I think you should choose a slightly different base color for the leaves of the trees, they are not contrasting enough with the grass. A minor nitpick I have is that trees in real life don't tend to grow out of grass. There is usually a bare patch of dirt that circulates around the base of the tree (trees are HUGE nutrient hoggers), but it's minor, as I've seen many styles pull it off.

That isn't the reason that grass doesn't grow as well around trees x_x That is a huge misconception. In the case of Evergreens (pines, cedars, etc.) the reason is because the tree secretes a sap that is acidic, which lowers the pH of the soil to an acidity that isn't supportive to grow grass. The needles also decompose into the same acidic sap that taints the soil.

In the case of Deciduous trees, it is most often a result of shade. However it is fairly common to see grass growing under a deciduous tree in nature. When landscaping, these trees are often given a bed of raised/isolated soil, or mulch, to keep the grass away from the tree since it is harder to maintain (water/cut) and looks better when its non-existent as opposed to thin and weak turf.

@Radnen: It looks alright but the perspective on the trunk of the evergreen trees is wrong. It looks face-foward when it should be closer to top-down (although eagle-eye would likely suffice)

ignoring my post ;_;

Graphic Novels are literally novels, but with the descriptive text removed and replaced with Comic-styled panel-by-panel art, and the dialog implanted in comic-style dialog bubbles.

Manga are more like Comics, but are done in a specific style (thick, lots of pages vs. a few big pages, often only peppered with colored pages) whereas american style comics are big pages, full color, and often quite short.

Rei: My point in making the grass blue was that cool colors actually detract your eye from them, putting the untextured blue grass in the background and bringing the trees forward for the eye to see. However, it would look best as a night-time or cool area setting.

Your point is valid, but the original is by no means the best rendition. Having the trees and grass the exact same shade of green is poor use of color. He isn't limited by palette, and shouldn't be spriting as if he is.
