Gemini is one of my favorite heroes atm but i dont really get how good can u really gank lanes with his lame mana pool early on without having a bottle or any mana regen. That too much restrict your ganking potential. I spend most of the game in Ulty form and blessed orbs make all the spells so MUCH spammable and using ulty > normal form > ulty basically heals you by a high amount and utilizing the bottle cant hurt.
I get your point and all but still playing him as a ganker/semi carry seems nice to me. I am all about being openminded and all but i dont see how do you overcome the mana issues then and dont u then just leave the mid free farm if he knows whats hes doing early on as well as letting have all the rune control??? Still you can atleast level your skills for early game stability since as i said few early stats wont help you.
Well i will try your build a few games and check the replays as i am interested and dont wanna be biased xD.
EDIT : also you mention lategame you should fight in gemini form=? which i think is very wrong as you ulty has about 25 armor with decent items 1900 - 2500 hp (depends on your items) and 200 - 240 damage each which is GODLY. Also if 1 of your wolf gets focused you just ult > escape/regroup > continue fighting. He can really carry due to his high survivability and excelent damage later on!!!

My custom map -> Pacman HoN Style
From now on I'll just direct people to watch the replays. Remember those are old unrefined replays. They are still very good, however. I'll be updating with new reps soon.
Thanks for your input though. I was too harsh earlier
When did I say that you dont do "Teleport the wolf at the fountain to your other wolf in the field"?????? That was clearly the intention. You can use the courier to give fire a tp while it is at base. Then you use fires spell to go out to ice.
70961529 - from an hour ago
from the other day:
70360201 < great example of using the combo to kill mid (at lvl 7), then refill max mana at well. Then I proceed to kill another and another with the same combo over and over after refilling health and mana.
Oh and you definately should be in main form a fair amount of time. Simply having the ability to blink in or out is critical.

You really just seem to not be able to fathom initiating in main form and splitting--- which is kinda mind boggling.
For some reason you have it ingrained in your head that you have to start in ult form, meaning that it requires you to merge and end in main form.
Twin Strike has huge range and goes quickly, as well as over obstacles and you can fire it into fog. You can not do these things with ult form leaps. Far easier to set up kills by starting with twin strike and splitting after/later.
Starting in split form gives you:
I know which one I'd choose.
And if you don't need all the damage from the second combo, it doesn't matter because you still have more opportunities to escape, simply by virtue of maintaining more skills off cd at a given time -- it's a smarter play.
Consider your strategy. I start in ult and do this: blink-breath-split-leap-leap-breath-breath. I haven't killed my enemy, so I recombine to use blink/breath again. At this point, if help arrives for him, I can blink away instead. Once I've used that blink though, I have no escape mechanism for a good chunk of time. If help arrives, I'm done. And if I keep trying to get that last hit for the kill, instead of blinking away, I'm dead.
Consider Demonwing's strategy. I start split and do this: leap-leap-breath-breath-combine-blink-breath. At this point, if help arrives, I have more options, and I can actually still get the kill I wanted, maybe kill whoever showed up to help too, and get away. I can split-leap-leap-breath-breath. This will more surely kill my main target than the options available to me at this point in your strategy (blink-breath). Furthermore, once I'm done with that, I can recombine to get yet another blink (away, if necessary), and breath (which may help me get a kill on the guy who came to help if I decide to go for it).
Your strategy does less damage, has less utility, and leaves you more vulnerable.
And this is why you stay split and don't re-combine when you don't absolutely have to.
But if you're still not convinced, then you should probably write your own guide as an alternative. Demonwing's playstyle is very effective. I solo-queue with it and have ~70% winrate with Gemini. If you're solo-queuing in my bracket, that's a lot.
Uh i have a similar win rate and i solo q 200mmr above u
I rarely, rarely ever find myself in a situation where I can't position myself well enough to initiate from ult form. In a vast majority of situations, I can initiate with no difficulty from ult form and never have to use twin strike to initiate.
The point is: unless for some reason your position is such that you have to initiate with twin strike, you should start in ult form.
2) I could prob get a >70% win rate in the 1600 bracket with 6x steamboots on gemini. That doesnt make it right.
Green, there are a couple key concepts that you seem to be missing.
Firstly, let's throw the mmr argument out the window because I'm higher than you.
Gemini's ult cools down while he is in Fire and Ice form. I feel like you do not understand this. This allows you to have essentially a "double ult" during team fights if you initiate with Fire and Ice while your ult is off cooldown. It allows you to ult again if you so desire immediately after you merge, which by itself is an extreme pro to initiating with ult form.
Unfortunately for your argument, however, that is not all. Initiating in Gemini form is very dangerous. Every point of damage you take is permanent throughout the fight and if you get stunned with a little bit of magic burst you'll be down to half HP in no time. Also, do not think that opponents will not stun or silence you during your channeling time when you start growling at them to split. Good opponents will certainly stun you immediately. When you split, you'll have 2 dangerously low hp wolves that get you essentially nothing but a few hundred extra points of magical burst.
Initiating with 2 wolves, however, highly mitigates your potential threats assuming they are handled properly. Fight until one of your wolves gets low (there will always be a tendency to focus one wolf even if the opponents are skilled. Single target spells are single target spells after all and good micro can mitigate a lot of aoes that hit both wolves at the same time. They cannot simply ignore you entirely). After a wolf gets to a dangerous hp threshold, merge back with the other to very high hp and use your skills with Gemini. You now have the option to split again for full cooldown resets on Fire and Ice and now both wolves are back to high hp.
Also, you are extremely infatuated with gemini's "burst" (which is not really all too bursty as full combos take quite a long time to complete as opposed to parasite or pebbles who do all of their damage within 1 second.) and his combo. Initiating with fire and ice with your ult off cooldown as rosicky said gives you
leap-leap-breath-breath-merge-breath-twin fangs-split-leap-leap-breath-breath
as a "maxed out combo" (which you should nearly never actually "combo" per say because you should save your merges for key times but whatever floats your boat)
initiating with Gemini gives you max
breath-twin fangs-merge-leap-leap-breath-breath
Your replay shows you killing a player at level 7. This is somewhat irrelevant to our conversation because my build reliably kills opponents at 6 the moment I hit 6
As one last note, your statement that being in Gemini form constantly is the correct way to play is incorrect. Firstly, it does not turn your ult cooldown which allows you to "double ult" as I described above. Furthermore, against any type of stun or burst heavy team your blink will not cut it. You have much more survivability in Fire and Ice form as you can merge out of a stun or out of a lot of burst damage (back to your full hp wolf) and simply blink away much more reliably.
You should study the mechanics of this hero more before you make arguments about him. Your arguments demonstrate perhaps an unclear conception of how his ult works. I accept criticism, but your arguments are simply self-contradicting and illogical.
I knew from the minute I watched the spotlight I don't have what it takes to play this guy, so I skipped him, but another thread mentioned your guide being really good and in-depth so I checked it out and...
Just wanted to say I'm really impressed with the amount of detail and effort that went into this, right from the start with your in depth discussion of his primary and secondary stats. I'd really like to see more like this, even though like I said, I personally have no use for this one. GOOD WORK
Look at the bolded line above and reread what I said. Since when does a "fair amount of time" translate to "being in gemini form constantly".
And how did I make a mmr argument? The other poster brought mmr into the equation.
You are really a joke. Regardless of whether how you play gemini is best, you simply have ridiculously bad reading comprehension.
I still suggest that you try him out, though. Practice makes perfect regardless of your overall HoN skill level and he is very rewarding to play. Playing Gemini also seemed to help my overall map awareness when playing other heroes as well.
I put a lot of effort into this guide because, before I wrote this, playing Gemini was completely unexplored territory. Where every other guide (although very well written and a lot of effort is put into them. I do not discount them I assure you) kind of reiterates things that have been tried and tested many times and that many people already know, this Gemini guide is really a brand new concept, which is exciting to me.
"You are very confused. You START in main form."
"Oh and you definitely should be in main form a fair amount of time. Simply having the ability to blink in or out is critical."
Perhaps you should work on your writing skills as opposed to myself working on reading skills.
Every post emphasized being in main form. You use an ambiguous phrase "a fair amount" which, in the context you present (given that you always initiate and periodically wander around in normal form for your blink as you state) means at least "a majority of the time".
Also, you were the first one to mention mmr. I believe you mentioned it multiple times. Look back
Regardless, your writing skills or lack thereof are completely irrelevant and, as you already stated in your last sentence that you no longer hold interest in Gemini's actual mechanics, you should have no further input concerning this thread.
As always, however, thank you for your opinion

Demonwing has answered each of your posts with logical arguments based on the mechanics of the hero. Where's yours?
You keep saying in different words 'my playstyle is better because I have had good experiences with it', but you don't offer any logical explanation to counter the extremely detailed, logical explanations that Demonwing is offering for his playstyle. You have no basis in the mechanics to back you up, you just expect everyone to somehow believe that your way is superior because it has worked for you a couple of times. That's not an argument. It's an unsupported statement.
Your way has worked for you in the past. Great. Congrats. That's not an argument against Demonwing, but his arguments against your playstyle make sense. Just because you haven't encountered the limitations of your playstyle yet, it doesn't mean that it is the optimal way to play the hero.
By the way, and I will add this to my main post, I strongly support mentoring, so if you specifically want in-game help with Gemini, throw me a PM with some available times and I'll be more than happy to play a game with you and try to improve your Gem play. I run on Eastern time and scrim nearly every night around 10-11PM onward so evenings before that time on any day is best.
After rereading my guide I've noted down a lot of small editing mistakes and some holes in my micro section. Also, those replays are old and need to be updated. I need to expand on some situational items and slightly tweak a couple more things, like my discussion on how to play mid. After that, I'll consider the guide finished and will just update it according to new patches.
Also, allow to me quickly address Gemini's balance. I have not played against a good gemini player in all of my games, so I do not have any real experience against him. I would lean toward him being relatively balanced in his current state because I am aware of all his weaknesses, but, of course, the issue has not come up yet (I'm actually extremely surprised I have not seen any QQ threads about gemini at all ever except for maybe the first day he was out which hardly counts. They all claim that he is UP if anything)
I am very concerned that, if Gemini is nerfed in the future, it will be too much. He almost certainly does not need a buff as I see it now, but I could see reasoning behind maybe an ult cooldown nerf to be 80/70/60 seconds or maybe slightly longer. This is the only thing that I find may be too powerful on him. If that still does not address the issue, then perhaps a very small stats reduction of something like 10/5/0% reduction on the ult. I fear that if people begin to learn how to play gemini well there will be a huge backlash on the forums resulting in some ridiculous nerf like "Gemini's cooldowns do not continue to run while in ult form" that would totally break the hero and render him unusable despite notsoundingall that bad. Lower skilled players perhaps do not have the proper tools to utilize him fully so maybe it will never be an issue.
Just wanted to bring up my concerns if nerfs for Gemini are ever called for (which is likely in the future perhaps after he comes out of EA and more people can pick him up) and my views on his current balance and possible changes. I get "gj pay to win so OP" by at least one player in around 90% of my games with Gem. The complainers generally know nothing about his skills or mechanics and almost never attempt to do anything to counter him. Many times I'll start fighting someone with Ice while Fire is at fountain and I get a wall of raging allchat when I port him in, merge to full health, and ult again for the kill as if they didn't see it coming from a mile away. If you're being engaged by a 40% hp ice with no mana in the forest what did you think was going to happen once you blew your skills on it? Did you think the Gemini player just likes giving away free kills or something?
edit: At the same time, I've had a lot of players pick a counter or two and play very well against me. When people know what Gem's skills do and are skilled players themselves, I have tough games. One single good Behemoth, for example, can singlehandedly make team fights extremely difficult for me and general good team positioning early game can minimize the amount of damage I do.

I've also seen at least one guy who tried Gemini out a few times basically say that the hero needs to be made easier to play because he gets frustrated by things like: you can't use items on the ulti, the split/recombine takes time to cast, and the forced 800 range on twin fangs is unnecessary and makes it too hard to land. I completely disagree with calls to make Gemini easier to play, and would be just as disappointed if they lowered the skillcap on the hero as I would be if they outright nerfed him.
Haven't been posting for a while and now this discussion arises. I'm fearing people are getting to know what a powerhouse gemini can be. However...
Gemini is perfect. Balance-wise, risk-to-reward-ratio-wise, funfactor-wise. He's the hero that will make me stay in HoN after dota2 comes out. No contest.
My sub-account - PopCokeSoda has 40% gemini play, using a refined version of demonwing's tactics, my MMR is reaching 1800 after 60 games. I go immortal on a daily basis and sometimes put in an annihilation. One of my clip is in the latest top 5 plays of the week (however I had to initiate using gemini form) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRrsZHJuqnQ. All this, just to say that I fully support demonwing's tactic and going anything else seems like a downgrade from the perfect strategy (also, I wanted to boast a bit more ).
The great list of hard and soft skills you need, to play HoN!

Music in the Mountains' annual Designs for Living Home Tours
October 2, 2012
Who can resist the magic of a magnificent home? For the last two years, more than 2,000 people have oohed and aahed their way through the homes they visited on Music in the Mountains' annual Designs for Living Home Tours.
But what does it take for a home to be selected — and what's special about this year's event?
"It's all about curiosity, variety, and inspiration," Home Tour Chairperson Celia Edwards said. "Seeing how the other half lives is a desire we all share — and this event gives everyone a close-up view.
"The homes we select are prestigious, and exude unique character and style. Sometimes I get suggestions and recommendations, and following up is straightforward. However, my committee members and I have been known to drive past a home, and been so smitten, we simply asked the owners if they would be interested."
Since this is Edwards' third year in her role as chairperson, she's become even more creative and resourceful.
"I've had to be," she laughed. "Asking homeowners if it's OK to have around 500 people a day visit their home can be daunting — even with the assurance that their home will be left in pristine condition.
"However, I am amazed how generous our Nevada County homeowners can be. Being invited to have your home featured on the tour is a huge compliment, so I think they are flattered and, generally, very willing to open their doors to the public and support Music in the Mountains."
This year the tour includes six hand-picked homes in Nevada City. One is a family home with both Swedish and Chinese influences; another, an impeccable Victorian. There's an absolutely breathtaking Santa Fe-style home with three teepees used as guest rooms, and an unusual Cape Cod-style home. A contemporary, copper masterpiece, plus a home designed by David Wright complete the A-list.
"Selecting a home isn't only about its prestige and style," Edwards said. "There are so many practical aspects to consider. Parking is a primary one. There has to be room to accommodate around 75 cars at a time.
"Safety and accessibility are other key issues. Lots of thought goes on behind the scenes to make the event enjoyable for everyone."
What's new for 2012?
"This year will be different," Edwards said. "Since we've limited the number of homes to six, and they are all in the Nevada City area, visitors can take their time and really savor the magnificence of each one."
Visitors are also welcome to savor a sit-down lunch at home No. 4, where Emily's Cakes and Catering will offer a choice of three delicious sandwiches, salads and fruit. Wine, provided by Besemer Cellars, will be available, as well. The additional charge for lunch is $10, with $5 for wine and beer.
Included in the ticket price is coffee from Sierra Mountain Coffee Roasters and dessert.
"Owner Sandy Frizzell is creating an exclusive coffee blend for the tour," Edwards added. "While she wants to keep it a secret, she's promised it will consist of four beans for a mellow, smooth, deep-flavored result."
Special appreciation goes to Sierra Mountain Coffee Roasters and Besemer Cellars as well as other sponsors, Foothill Flowers, The Union, B&C Hardware, Rare Earth and Sierra Timberline, Edwards said.
What's new and who's who? Part of what's new is who's new this year.
"Cristine Kelly is our new executive director, and she's put lots of fresh flair into making the Home Tour even more successful," Edwards said. "Her many years in Nevada County, combined with her strong marketing expertise, make her a vital force in MIM's future.
"Add our 400 volunteers to the mix, and there's a lot of dedication and determination to make this tour the best ever in our two-decade history."
The Designs for Living Home Tour will take place on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6 and 7.

Piano sales have plummeted in Britain, leading Harrods to close the lid on its sales department after 118 years.
The number of people in Britain buying pianos dropped from 30,000 a year in the 1980s to about 5,000 last year, as customers turn to electronic keyboards.
Over the decades Harrods has been associated with musicians such as Alberto Semprini, Myleene Klass, Katherine Jenkins, and Cliff Richard, with Mohamed Al Fayed, the former owner of the store.
In an attempt to clear its stock, a Bechstein piano on sale recently for £94,000 has been reduced to £66,000. "It's really sad. This

Nothing makes tumbleweed and cattle suddenly look sexy than a pair of cut-off shorts and denim Jeffrey Campbell platform shoes. We spotted this stylish gal perusing her prairie on Nasty Gal and knew you'd wanna see her. We love everything about this photo shoot, from the scenic desert locale to the black wide-brimmed hat. But those denim shorts, with their perfect cut, distressing, and scandalous fit, were the star of the show. And those Jeffrey Campbell's? Well, you already know we're obsessed with those. Her early '90s style fringe-cut t-shirt is a throwback to when most of us were in elementary school (if that's coming back, we're on the band wagon), and the attitude of her stance (maybe her killer legs too), pull the whole thing together. This is one lookbook that has desert hot written all over it.

Hey baby, wanna take a gander at some Adam West penis?
yeah,Not much happened. I guess the girl (forgot her name) for some reason is going to "gamble" on Shioon. Don't know why though. There is nothing to suggest that Shioon can get better. Unless the pill has some unknown side effects that is actually causing his body to create another ki-center, but I doubt it. I guess at this point, the best bet is the girl figuring something out on Shioon's behalf.
but at least goonmoryong is back..and pretty brutal at that.
In the end, he will probably be strong enough to fight all those master levels without using any Ki pills, he just needs to came up with a techniques that can be used without using ki (like using up stamina, life force, soul ?), or not.
mhm one way or the other he is going to regain his ki center...and everyone will be like woow, cause he is so special :p
Damn one bad ass cover and that new chick is very pretty!(don't remember her name:( )
yeah, i wonder what kind of lessons they will be.

High as it is now, the Saline is on the rise, and I am remembering too well the Flood of 2011, when prime farm ground all around here became a lake overnight; remembering how at night mercury lights reflected on the water as though on a beachfront.
Will we suffer another flood?
Probably not, yet in every raindrop, every miniscule splash of wavelet against shoreline, the possibility is there.

MARIA< MARIA< MARIA,,, good to hear from you darlin, I know the deal about applying for any kind of jobs,, after awhile it just gets to be a realy, really old staory, especially here in nevada, where unemployment is so high. The weather over here has been ok, a couple days sunny then it rains for a couple days, typical for this time of the year,, I just kinda wish the leaves would fall, so I can rake and then the all so glamorous job of cleaning the gutter,, then snow time.. I am still looking hard to find something, save money and then like i said I am moving and I did apply to the one job that you sent me about ,, Aberdeen proving grounds,, but as you know who if, when, maybe or if a maybe they will contact me if I even get that acknowledgement,,
just keep looking you will find something, I have been doing it now since Jan of 2008,, at times like I said an old very old story,, but I am going out running and playing some gold to break up the routine, beside yardwork and other chores..

Out-muscled and out-thought, Ewen McKenzie's Wallabies sunk to another dismal loss by 28-8 against a rampant South Africa.
Out-muscled and out-thought, Ewen McKenzie's Wallabies sunk to another dismal loss by 28-8 against a rampant South Africa on Saturday.
The humbling of a half-time team-talk on the field in front of a gleeful Newlands crowd underlined how far Australia have fallen – McKenzie overseeing his fourth loss since taking over as head coach.
The former Reds boss has spoken frequently after recent losses about the need for a better execution from his defence, but in a three-minute blip the game was lost as first Adriaan Strauss and Zane Kirchner found their way to the line.
Certainly the Wallabies tightened up their game in the second-half, their public dressing down adding some resolve as Will Genia made a bright introduction off the bench.
This though was South Africa's day, and by some distance. Jannie du Plessis and Morné Steyn both celebrated their 50th caps with accomplished performances.
The brute power from the South African starting pack was dominant enough early on to create the gulf on the scoreboard, before the bulk of Bismarck du Plessis and Juandré Kruger were rolled out later on. That level of physicality will be essential next weekend when South Africa take on New Zealand.
The Springboks put their own torment in Auckland behind them by carrying on from where they left off in Brisbane – proving too clever and too powerful for the Wallabies in a tearaway first half when the score could have been even greater than the 23-3 lead they held going into the break.
The pre-match touting of South Africa's scrum as a key weapon rung true after only three minutes, when Steyn opted for the corner after James Slipper was beaten by Du Plessis.
A crossing penalty against the Boks brought Australia out of their half and yielded the first points for Lealiifano, converting a penalty from the left to give the visitors the lead.
Steyn countered with a penalty after Wallaby captain James Horwill was penalised for not rolling away – the Stade Français fly-half reaching the 600-point mark in Test rugby.
Eben Etzebeth's burst then created the platform for South Africa's first try, the Wallabies infringing to set up an attacking lineout in the corner for the hosts. Fourie du Preez – back in the side in place of Ruan Pienaar – fired a flat pass through to the other change to the Springboks, Adriaan Strauss, who crashed over.
The Boks followed it up with a sucker punch. Jean de Villiers' wide pass freed up JJ Englebrecht and the young Bulls centre sucked in the remaining Wallaby defenders to free Zane Kirchner, who scythed his way past Israel Folau to score South Africa's second try in as many minutes.
Steyn's second penalty on the 20-minute mark then meant South Africa had scored as many points as minutes passed.
Michael Hooper's sin-binning further complicated the Wallabies afternoon after he upended Eben Etzebeth – Australia barely surviving with a full compliment, let alone with a depleted side.
A third penalty from Steyn extended the Springboks' lead to 20 points as they ran Australia ragged, an unfortunate slip for de Villiers cutting out another dangerous break with the Wallabies winning a penalty at the breakdown.
No stranger to discrepancies, Flip van der Merwe saw yellow at the start of the second half for an unnecessary forearm on Joe Tomane to give the Wallabies some momentary respite, at least when it came to numbers on the park if not the scoreboard.
Through a combination of South Africa dropping their intensity and the Wallabies building confidence, the third quarter finished scoreless with the Springboks comfortably adrift.
It was an impressive showing of persistence from Australia attacking in the South African 22 that saw Duane Vermeulen also yellow carded, but when the Wallabies needed to execute deep in South African territory they were once again found wanting.
South Africa were slack themselves – dropping passes and missing the intensity that served them so well in the opening 40 as the clock wound down. A persistent choice to kick the ball away rather than run from deep, in spite of their lead, gradually frustrated the Capetonian crowd.
They duly erupted when Willie Le Roux beat Chris Feauai-Sautia on the outside to cross in the right-hand corner, the lead stretching to 25 points and restoring order to proceedings.
With a try bonus-point in sight, the Springboks botched a five-metre lineout and then Siya Kolisi was penalised for holding on short of the Wallaby line. Should New Zealand go on to take maximum points against Argentina later on in La Plata, the missed chances will come back to haunt them.
Feauai-Sautia did seal a consolation try from a clever Cooper cross-field kick, but it meant little. Australia, at their lowest, have their own mountain to climb – one considerably larger than the Table looming over Newlands.
Man of the Match: Welcome back Fourie du Preez. The Suntory Goliath scrum-half was at his vintage best.
Moment of the Match: The second blow in a one-two punch from Zane Kirchner has the Springboks out of sight.
Villain of the Match: Forearms are a hot topic after Ma'a Nonu's two weeks ago. Flip Van Der Merwe's on Tomane was careless.
