HoH has seen only little and quite elitist play in Hib, where it has the most players to know the mechanics since the rework.
Almost 0 play in mid.
Very rare play in Alb.
If you build a teaching run full of new players a run will take 2-4 hours regardless of the realm.
- The main reason for it is imho the short reaction time on Ogoga -
--------------------------------------
To make HoH more open to new players and even new grps i suggest:
1) MOST IMPORTANTLY: add 1-2 more seconds of time between color assignment (you have the blue color/you have the green color) and the actual hit of the fireballs.
Most new players understand it sooner or later but often can't perform it in time.
2) 25% HP reduction on Mother of Ice and Maschunga.
Both encounters currently feel very grindy.
