i wonder when icefrog himself or S2 are gonna confirm it

neither will ever, it's rumored it's written into the nda (non disclosure agreement).

o i c

still a good game either way

I don't get why people care so much.

HoN is an above average game no matter who made it.

It matters because people call HoN a cheap copy of DotA, while Icefrog was actually working with S2.

Cheap copy? What does that even mean? Dota Allstars is a rip off of Euls DotA, and Euls DotA is a rip off of Aeon of Strife. Should we not play dota because it stole its roots from AoS? I guess I shouldn't play Torch Light since it's a cheap copy of Diablo 2.

Do you see where I am going with this?

I do, and I don't understand why people call it a cheap copy. It's better in almost every aspect.

Thanks for repeating the question I asked.
