Heroes of Newerth

Icefrog wasn't the creator of DotA. Eul was the original mapmaker and then Guinsoo modded it into the Allstars version. Icefrog took over for guinsoo a few years ago and thats what we have today. *Notice the in-game items like Eul's scepter and Guinsoo's?* You could even go as far back as saying Eul copied the map off of a Starcraft map called Aeons of Strife.

As for HoN, whats wrong with it being a copy? Its basically the same game we know and love just a hell of a lot better. Voice chat, way better graphics, better sound, auto-update, a ton of low-ping servers, better replays, better chat interface, able to mod your interface, and a stat counter - whats not to love? I honestly think if you played a few games on it you would fall in love with it.

Take a look at some of these pro games on honcast and I'm sure it'll sway your mind

He uses a modded interface to cast with so its slightly different than what people normally play with.

What your showing is just the typical stubborn behavior that most people have and their inability to conform to new things. I'm not saying this line to try to convince you to play HoN but to point out that you are probably the same way with other things in your life and that you should try to be open to new things once in a while.

Well, since I accidentally started a thread about this without knowing about this...

Anyone here still play HoN? O_o

I got shoutcasted while playing tonight =O

I played the Corrupted Disciple. I actually joined the game and didn't look at the extra options and it was all random with no repick or swap. First time playing CD but I think I did a good job. In hindsight I should've got a shrunken head first and then the thunderclaw but I had a lot of fun. This is what a game at 2 in the morning looks like haha.

Not since S2 became retarded and sold some of its rights to Garena.

bump.

tis rly rly fun and if you LoL guys haven't tried it u should.

I really want to try this new monkey king hero.

All you need is some money, or stacked up gold coins to buy him, or wait til Aug 26th if you've got a Legacy account.

I don't know how this new free to play LoL-esuqe business model is gonna work.
15 rotating hero pool is gonna ruin some games

meh im in the 1800 pool so it won't affect me.

I can't play Int HoN due to me living in SEA. What's happening in the Int community?

Shouldn't be a problem. One of the top teams in HoN is from SEA actually.

You get like 200-250 ping usually to US servers which is what i play on. It's very playable and not that bad.

Hurm, last time I tried it was blocked. I guess I'll try getting that sometime then. Thanks for the heads up.

No one here commented on the fact that it went Free-2-Play? :P

Well it won't affect us ingame as much as new players.

Anyone want's to add me my nick ingame is k1reX

I'm now still playing hon in Garena but I'm reconsider to try ( haven't tried yet )and switch to DOTA2 but there have some issues between them about Licensed name DOTA. So, what you all fakku user think about the game between hon and DOTA2? Is it good enough to beat hon? Btw, my MMR in Garena hon is 1750 ++ feels like saying.
In garena PSR doesn't meant a thing, MMR is the one player looking at for their skill.

Because i failed to get Dota 2 b-keys im stuck with this. But i guess it's not a bad thing at all, my gemini usage improved and when i use it nowadays the only time i don't get an immortal kill streak is when SOMEONE kill steals all my kills at the last moment. The new hero shadowblade has an alternate avatar that looks very animeish with a very awkward voice, but i think it needs a nerf, its third skill is too strong.

Yeah, hate it when they steal your kill especially if they use skill not last hit that piss me off the most. Now almost once a month Hon have new heroes that is good cause the selection is more variable. My fav is scout and nomad it was easy to play and it's carry too.

Those two are one of my most common enemies and i hate them so much. Nomad for his critical early harass, scout for being invisible for most of the game.
