so recently i heard about this game, since i see the word "HoN" all the time in the forums saying it's like dota and stuff (i love dota)
google'd it, read up on it, and saw the price tag of $30 bucks :(

i don't have that much spare money per se...if i don't have to buy it, i won't, but i am looking for a new computer game to play.

is this game worth the $30 bucks? and do you think it's better than dota?

thanks :)

i would recommend it if you are a fan of dota / rts

if you don't know either of them, i suggest you stay away

Definitely worth the $30, if you liked dota you'll love HoN.

Hon basically is dota. The difference is the shop is a little different, missing a shit ton of heroes from dota, but there's a few new heroes in hon that aren't in dota.
Dota pubs are absolute shit. In hon, there aren't nearly as many scrubs in your pub games. The servers for hon are also quite a bit better compared to anything wc3 has to offer.

The matchmaking system in hon actually is actually a cool idea. They've basically brought the ladder system from wc3/sc2 into hon.


It's really up to you whether it's worth it or not. I like both games. Dota has a ton of heroes that I like.
