Beetween the war of the two Moba of LoL and Dota 2, HoN stood silently

Forum » Off Topic » Beetween the war of the two Moba of LoL and Dota 2, HoN stood silently 8 posts - page 1 of 1

So people are just fighting each other for which is the best game. But what about HoN? Some heroes are ported from dota, as well as the items. If I dont play dota, I would consider playing HoN, just because unmainstream. Some said ot is a little like dota, which would be fine. I really never heard anyone talking about HoN(except yesterday on twitch chat), why is that? Is the game still growing?

Questions:
-Community?
-Is it free to play?
-Why is it so silent? Theres not even a NewerthFire.
-Is it good?

I tried it for a while. I didn't like it at all.

-To me at least, it was pretty ugly and outdated.
-Some of the heroes were clearly copies of dota heroes.
-I only played two bot games, no clue about the community.
-Free, but has the usual in-game money for cosmetics and etc.

One of the things that really turned me off the game was that there is no way to turn of autoattacking. Another thing is that...oh man. The bot-AI.. It makes dota bots look like geniuses.

There's no earthy way of knowing which direction we are going. There's no knowing where we're rowing, or which way the river's flowing. Is it raining, is it snowing? Is a hurricane a-blowing? Not a speck of light is showing, so the danger must be growing. Are the fires of Hell a-glowing? Is the grisly Reaper mowing?! YES! The danger must be growing! For the rowers keep on rowing! And there's certainly not showing ANY SIGNS THAT THEY ARE SLOWING!

i believe it used to fill the void for dota allstars players who wanted more then dota being a custom map without actual support or matchmaking. HoN filled that void but when dota 2 was released that obviously killed it.

I can never get in to other MOBAs for the same reason my League friends can't get in to DotA 2; For a genre that's mostly the same the games are pretty damn different (interface, controls, mechanics).

LoL does not give you the kind of depth,intensity and complexity that we are used to in DoTO. I started DoTO from the scratch and it was an altogether new experience for me. Harder last hitting, denying, items which have actives,etc,etc
