What's New in Heroes of Newerth 2.0

I could never get into DOTA for the same reason I have a hard time with HON... Denying. This one tactic, dramatically decreases the amount of fun a newcomer can have with the game.  
 
This is also why I enjoy LOL so much, they keep your attention on the action.  
 
It is good to see HON trying to seperate themselves from the basic DOTA formula a bit more. I am really curious to see how close DOTA 2 will be to the original mod, and if it is, will it be as successful as LOL.

" @Eej:  LoL is actually made, patched, and regularly supported by people that actually made DoTA. They know what's up more than anyone else does, yet they also aren't afraid to innovate, and add to the original DoTA model. That's why LoL is better than any other DoTA-like games. Hands down... Fact. "

Does this run on the same engine as Starcraft?

Why is no one discussing Brad getting his cherry popped on video?

HoN is a great game.

I like League of Legends better. Because, you know, innovation. 

Free DOTA game > paid DOTA game tbh.

HoN was a fun game, I hope the matchmaking works well enough for it to reinvigorate my interest in it.

Yay s2 games! I live in kalamazoo, MI, and I pass by their development studio every day :) 

" @Llama:  Yes, HoN is trying to adapt itself to the same model LoL is using while trying to cater to a more casual crowd. Probably because they made all the money they could with the current model and it would seem that their sales peaked at launch and they're trying to find new ways to keep the money coming in. "

" HoN is a glorious awesome game, but, it lacks innovation. It is more or less DOTA. Whereas LoL got a ton of new and fresh ideas that make the game more complex and customizable. On the other hand, LoL looks like total shit ;) "

Can't wait to pop some cherries, oh wait, I'd just get my ass kicked instead. :(

Pitty S2 sold distribution rights in South East Asia (And I think the Pacific too) to Garena. What a disappointing decision; else I'll be all up on HoN.

leeroy jenkins has become a verb... "leeroy jenkinsing in"

Heroes of Newerth is the closest clone to Defence of the ancients that I have played which is why I liked it. League of Legends on the other hand tries something different which is fun and interesting  but it just wasn't for me.  
 
Not a fan of the LoL pricing model either, hoping HoN doesn't go down that path too far.

I just hope they have a sale soon, I want to play this game.

LoL FTW!

I really enjoyed my time with LoL, might be worth picking up HoN and having a look.

Yeah... after the 400 hour I started getting head-aches while playing this game. High level matches can be very demanding. I haven't played this game since the beta :) but I'm glad they are adding all this things :)

I am excited for this patch.  Team Matchmaking has taken you forever, S2.

" Lame, who cares it just trying to be LoL "

Never really gave HoN a fair shot. Went from DotA straight to LoL.
Might try this now though.

HoN is great if you want more DotA, though personally I played enough DotA to last me a lifetime for free with WC3.

Still can't get over the fact that you have to pay for this. I think it's a great DotA client but League of Legends is too.
That manages to be free! What's up?

Lame, who cares it just trying to be LoL

Decent, I guess. Not a fan of HoN.
