Heroes of Newerth

I play HoN, but i might not play it when beta is over

Honestly i still prefer Dota over HoN probably because i'm more used to the controls and items in Dota than with HoN and i don't feel too compelled to start learning alot of new stuff >_>

well it's good and all and their original items and heroes are good but certain chars are still op and they haven't fixed orb stacking issues yet...

I sea lot of people abusing On attack impact items(i.e skadi + mjolnir + S&N + Satanic + Deso on one hero)

ya they should fix that =/, too much imba with "orb" stacking

Some of my classmates started to play the HoN D=

It seems to have much better controls (i really recommend QWER F keys for spells, easier to find than always looking the name of spell and then finding the yellow character which is the Hotkey).

It seems fairly nice as well, thou i don't have any account either to play it. One friend couldn't find the link to download the game so he bought it D=

Isn't there already like 5 topics on this game already?

I play it, enjoy it but it is very different from dota in terms of strategy. HoN is all about DPS and AOE heroes, while dota is more balanced.

ya there are but i think they're all just HoN vs DOTA threads and HoN vs DOYA vs some other dota clone that i've never heard of

How do I get an account for that anyway?

ah there were invitations that were given in facebook. that was months ago and its close to release so if you wanna play you need to buy it or get someone else's beta account :P

Engineer's turret is OP and needs a nerf.

Seconded... That crazy turret is way to imba with orb stacking ATM... something they will probbly tone down next versions or so...

Side Note

FORSAKEN ARCHER ROCKS...

I'd play this too but I don't like people calling me a noob just because my team lost. Apparently the assholes of DOTA moved on here too.

There's a lot of balance issues right now. Engineer's Turret should not have any of his item passive abilities. Even with base damage, it attacks rather fast for it to deserve need for etra boosting. Scout is still broken, Puppet is kinda broken as well. Arachna is arachna. ppl only pick them for kdr and then begs you to play stunner or support

Still far too many glitches in the game.
last I remember, nothing AI targets the archer's skeletons.
don't know if they fixed the chronosphere glitch I found

though this isn't a glitch, creeps that follow you out of lane never really stop following

You've gotta remember it's still a beta.

They are planning on porting over more heroes from dota, and creating more. The final roster of heroes when the beta is over will well exceed dota's hero roster. This will mean that it will be a long long time before the final version is released, which is good i guess.

2 important questions

will there be AI and when is it going to be publicly released.
I normally play AI for abit to get the feel for the heroes rather than jumping into a real game

waiting for the official alpha launch... the beta crashed my computer twice.

Yesterdays CGo ladder match results for my clan, [GPF].

Not the time in both screenies and the gold per minute scores.

That's a really fast game...

22 mins... wow the shortest game I had was 35 mins...

honestly, I think i just played my best game ever. (match in the 1700+ rating)
