Farming Account Statistics

We have discovered it is possible to increase your Heroes of Newerth account statistics such as KDA ratio and PSR using multiple accounts. If you have spare beta keys you can create new accounts to use on the HoN servers; you can also run multiple instances of HoN. Therefore, make a private game with your main account and use a subsidiary account in a second instance to join the game and go on the other team. Then start feeding kills to your main account – we have managed to farm about 200 kills in 30 minutes using soulstealer against madman, thinking about what items to buy, what spots on the map to use etc. Sure enough, the unanswered kills get added to your account and your KDA improves.

Although less effective, you can also farm PSR. You need to have many subsidiary accounts and as many instances (or many friends with second accounts) running – and make a team on the enemy of 4 or 5 accounts, against your 1. This will ensure you gain a lot of PSR from the game. You then win the game and your PSR will increase. You can only do this a few times as when your PSR gets too high, it will stop letting you gain any because of the mathematic algorithm involved. Even if you make more and more fresh accounts, a team of 4 1500 players against your 1 will still not let you gain a lot of PSR at all later on.

S2 games have discussed the issue and concluded that for now at least, they will not take action to prevent this activity because players cannot farm PSR very well, and the player’s PSR will not represent how skilled they are. ‘True’ high PSR players will identify quickly that you are not as good as your rating. If you look at people’s statistics profiles, it can be a little obvious when people have farmed K:D ratio. Usually the normal relationship between games played, games won, PSR and KDA gets upset in a way identifiable to others.
What do you think? Should S2 take a stand against stat farming? Or should it be left for those players with no conscience?
