Just watch this video, you'll see some really nice gameplay. Dota fanboys will see a little ressemblance there too

shit sucks
fuck off

this

lol @ Dota fanboys, DotA has nothing better than HoN at the moment apart the hero pool.

dota ripoff

They actually asked Icefrog if they could make a commercial version of the game. He didn't see any problem with it.

Actually, icefrog didnt have any say in the matter.

And DotA has many things better than HoN. Your just a fanboy of HoN.

I played DotA for years and currently the only better thing I can see in DotA is the larger hero pools and different game modes/textures trough commands.

That said i'd like to know what you think DotA has better than HoN. Here's one of my post :

Some functionalities that HoN offers
----------------------------------------------------
Game reconnections (Connection drops? Just rejoin that game!)
In-built stats tracking (ward placements, consumables, easy game percentage played and MUCH more)
In-built ladder rankings.
Custom map editor (The SDK version will be EXTREMELY versatile, basically you could just do any game with it. the map editor is NOT YET out!)
Match-making system (Let the game find valuable opponents for you, of same skill levels. Might it be alone or with a group of friend.)
Leaver protection system (Make no-leavers only games! No more pesky leavers ruining the games for you.)
Client-Server netcode (Americans versus Europeans using official S2 servers Lag-free? Not a myth, reality!)
Re-Bindable hotkeys (No need to look for alternate ways to change it in warcraft3, EVERY key is rebindable!)
Built-In VOIP (You want to talk to your pubs with a Mic? Just press a button and start talking, just like you would do in Ventrilo. You can even choose to talk to the whole map, or just your own lane!)

All those DotA fanboys out there, play one or two games of Heroes of Newerth, you will never want to go back.

always liked dota but when I played hon ... wow there is no delay at all lol.

when I went from bnet to ggc I was WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW and now from ggc to hon WOOOOOOOOOW. I like the graphics more but dota still has the majority of the players/tours.

I know, Client-server netcode is really doing it for HoN. Well you see, Heroes of Newerth is still in closed beta with well over 30k active users currently. There will be In-built league management too. Newerth will be a blast when it reaches release with full-fonctionality.
