Heroes of Newerth

Heroes of Newerth is a cancerous MOBA which has continually destroyed thousands of neck-beard personalities since May 2010. The game is fast paced, has beautiful graphics, and a diverse set of heroes to choose from. Despite the quality of the game itself, its community was a cesspool of finger-pointers and Brazilians.

LANimal ventures into Newerth
In early November 2010, after recently quitting League of Legends (Summoners Rift used to be purple... wtf) Orville, Pwnz, and Jahpetto began looking at a dota-esque game called HoN. After briefly studying the available characters, Jahpetto bought an account for Orville as a birthday gift, and the LANimals' descent into trolldom began.

Early on the game was fun. It was exciting to try new characters and to see other people make big plays (obviously none of the plays were made by LANimals). However as more and more matches were played, the toxic community began burrowing its tentacles in the LANimal psyche. LANimal's MMR plummetted, reaching as irrecoverably low as 600. LANH was branded a "fail clan" on more than one occasion in ranked, and the members took turns shifting the blame. Ultimately, no one in LANimal could take genuine responsibility for their play and as a result they stagnated in mediocrity. Despite how bad they were, a new player would join the battle that would convince the LANimals that they were decent players.

Cousin Josh Starts HoN
Pwnz's cousin Josh, the legendary Hex "smoke break" 360, demonstrated levels of feederhood that can not be reproduced by human means. Playing with Josh gave the LANimals an inflated sense of skill due to the baffling nature of his play-making decisions. Josh would eventually migrate to future games with LANimal, but his legacy as a feeder will never be forgotten.

LANimal's Biggest Moment
Once LANimal started to realize that they were all indeed terrible at HoN, they decided to join an online tournament to see what it was like. After getting lucky af with a bye in the first round (no srsly, lucky af) they were matched with a 1700 MMR team. In a true display of feeder heroism, they elected to run a surprise tri-lane gank bot lane. Much to their amazement, LANimal successfully converted First Blood in a competitive tournament. Their rise to glory was brief, as they were thoroughly shat-cacked for the rest of the match.

"Put My Feet Up"
In the legendary First Blood match, the enemy team played a Predator mid, who was likely the most efficient player LANimal had played against in their HoN career. After viciously farming mid lane and jungle, he proceeded to 1v3 and destroy what little hope LANimal had of winning that match. When LANimal was losing their barracks, the legendary Predator commented in /all about how easy the match was, and let them know that he "Put [his] feet up". LANimal went from devastation to rolling laughter in an instant, and a new meme was born.
