Tried the game again, now that its free2play.

LoL much?

They have taken league of legends model and replicated it exactly. I know imitation is the most sincere form of flattery but this is ridiculously.

Plagiarism to the max.

That said, its still the DOTA clone that some of us have come to know and love. Polished and refined. HD graphics and loads of new content (skins, voice overs, etc..)

I would strongly recommend a moba fan to pick this up at the awesome price of zero dollars.

With Dota 2 on the horizon being released by Valve shortly, this might be the last hurrah for both HoN and LoL.

VirtueTT · « **Reply #46 on:** August 04, 2011, 10:37:11 AM »

League of Legends release date - October 27, 2009
Heroes of Newerth release date - May 12, 2010

What i was told about HoN and LoL, its the same people who worked on Dota made these 2 so i wouldn't call it plain plagiarism outright. The reasons they were made as completely separate games was some fall out with Blizzard (no surprise there).

I would think they were exactly the same game due to this fact. Heck, if i made a map for WC3 and wasnt gettin any money from it, i would go make my own damn game to do so. Especially since so many people played it.

But yes, Valve did good in gettin Dota 2 under their belt, but as someone on Facebook posted about this, because HoN and Lol require the calculator type PC to play, it MAY take a while for Dota 2 to pick up (locally that is). Although, i checked the system reqs and i see that a scientific calculator type PC shall more than suffice for it. Meh..

We all kno what kills the Trinidadian gamer.. Price! So HoN and LoL shall survive for a while.
At a 50-60 USD price for Dota 2.. GG

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #47 on:** August 04, 2011, 11:47:54 AM »

sauce on that US$50 - $60 price tag for Dota 2

and I know the history between hon and lol very intimately. It's very complex and rife with drama.

suffice to say, LoL is by far the bigger game now, with 15 million+ players. It was the first to go the free2play route and prospered as a result.

HoN stayed in beta for an extended period but took a big hit when they moved int pay2play with the final product.

Their transition to free2play may be too little too late with Dota 2. UNLESS, as you say the price is US$50-60

I'm hoping/assuming Dota 2 would be free2play

so sauce please

One of the biggest Swedish online stores komplett.se has added DOTA 2 as a pre-order state item. Moreover, the price has been set to 60$(USD). As expected from that podcast, the price will be around 60$ (depending on taxes, etc) and will not have a subscription. Apparently, komplett.se has answered and confirmed that this is the "official price" of the game and that it is based on the recommendation by Valve themselves.

damn, that'll keep LoL / HoN alive in the moba space for some time then.

+1 for the find

haterforever · « **Reply #50 on:** August 04, 2011, 07:55:29 PM »

i download and play HoN yesterday. Went 15-2-13 in my first game not knowing anything about who i chose, and what to buy. Guess everyone else in that battle.

I find the battlefield is too clustered compared to LOL and the minimap is harder to read.

The graphics are much better though. Upgrading LOL to that level would be ideal.

Anyone up for a GATT clan?

Mightn't make sense with Dota 2 coming....but I'm interested.

I've succumbed to downloading and started playing with my brother and some friends. Been using Mumble as well to play. It feels good to get back into the DOTA scene.. now to make sure Crackers and WarOne don't realize im playing before the call the wrath of SC2 down on my poor soul.
