Serious question. Debating whether to re-download the client.

Bought HoN around the time arachna was released because it was on sale, having played the tiniest bit of dota and a bit of LoL, expecting to be entertained.

The graphics were dark and made half the champs look identical under any graphics settings
The players were tryhards even in unranked who raged and ranted at anything you did (and after 40-50 games this proved consistent 100% of the time. Watching others play proved that it is consistant even amonst higher players)
My keyboard only has one R key so thunderbringer could not reach his full potential

So what makes you play this over other games?

A further question, somewhat unrelated. How strict is their reporting system?
Let's say I wanted to fuck around with pebbles...

One R key?
I don't even understand.

Blizzard is coming out with a new rebooted DoTa, which will most likely crush HoN and steam's DoTa 2.The original DoTa was the best, HoN is a close second. IMO HoN has better mechanics than LoL, and I find it more fun than DoTa 2 (had high hopes for this). Looking forward to Blizzard DoTa.

If you mean throwing your teammates into enemies -> pretty much 100% ban if you get reported.
Ofc only if you have made it several times, if you do it 1 time nothing will happen (most likely).

HoN is still filled with assholes. If you don't like assholes I'd suggest Dota 2.
