Well, hello everyone!
We have finally moved to a new, convenient website. To be honest, we didn't expect such a relatively quick transition ourselves. Considering that, essentially, everything was done by a single person — Wesstorn. He is the one you can thank for the titanic amount of work he has done for HNS enthusiasts.
With the new site, boundless possibilities and flexibility have opened up for us — something that was sorely lacking on the old WordPress site. Now, we can pretty much do whatever our hearts desire. And a lot has already been done.
New Features
Well, there is certainly a lot to tell here. We have "ultra" detailed match statistics with a redesigned ELO calculation system and many other new metrics. This system already includes all the fixes for previous bugs and also calculates your individual impact per game as a single player (a sort of MVP analog). It awards more PTS for a win or deducts fewer PTS for a loss. We were inspired by the Fastcup system and tried to create something similar for HNS. Now, the match page has over twenty different metrics and shows your real impact in the game (if there was any).
Next up is the player profile. Here you will see another new feature—the Hexagon. As mentioned in the old article before the move, we were inspired by FIFA and Pro Evolution Soccer. We selected the most important categories that reflect your individual skill as a player and added them to your profile. Besides that, you will see several other metrics here, which we will continue to update and expand upon in the future.
What's Next?
To be honest, talking about all the features would take a very long time, as we have a ton of them. We’ve got a new Tournaments page, a Community section with online chat, a new look for news and the knowledge base, an updated forum, Kreedz statistics, a minimalist design, and much more. The best thing to do is to see it all for yourselves — and maybe find some bugs while you're at it (if there are any). Don't hesitate to write in the online chat, create topics in the discussions, and play on our servers. Finally, I’ll say that very soon we will gradually start planning the next tournament from HNSRU. It will most likely be in a 5v5 Skill format.
Good luck to everyone, and welcome to our new website!
