What is hit rating exactly?

SO it says The higher your hero's hit rating, the more your attacks will land in battle

but what does that mean

Break is very clear ...ensures you will not be blocked by enemy

So break counters block

Does hit rating counter dodge?
or
Does hit rating counter miss?

The only hero i have ever had miss is a mage, ie shayd. Now I have seen people put very high Hit Rating runes on Shayd and she "seems" to miss less. SO that would suggest it counters missing. But does that mean hit rating is useless on other hero classes since they seem to almost NEVER miss.

You've NEVER missed with heroes besides Shayd?!

Anyway, I believe hit rating counters dodge.

i said a mage and used shayd as an example, catherine and meh have missed as well for me. But never had an archer, calvary infantry or main hero miss. They have been blocked and dodged, but never seen them miss.

Thanks for you reply but what you said is exactly what I want to clarify. Your statement is as vague as the description in game

matt u got a very good point... I would like to hear a confirmation from someone from tynon team that hit counters dodge or not?

I believe hit counters dodge, but I also believe it does nothing for mages....My Shayd to me has been the same. I haven't seen any improvement with a hit rune. I have it on there, but I think I will likely remove it. It appears useless to me. I don't have it on any other heroes though.

Edit: I had it on other heroes, but they missed very few times anyway. I just put dodge runes on instead of hit with the others. Shayd is the only one with both.

So, I BELIEVE hit counters dodge, but does not effect miss. I also believe the "counter" to dodge that it has is very low, low enough to where it really doesn't matter on a normal hero.

Hit improves hit rate and a high enough rate will counter a high dodge rune.

Break counters block. Again as above you need a high enough rune to counter someone's high block rune.

There really is nothing I know of that improves a mages hit rate. Even 100+ hit rate rune does little to improve my Shayd's accuracy.

Exactly, I feel as if there really is nothing that improves a mage's hit rate. I feel hit rating on a mage is near useless if not fully useless.

I have a 145 hit rating on shayd and she misses probably 70% of the time. It does seem to do nothing.

Of course if it does nothing then why do they give her a 20 hit rating to start. Makes no sense.
