HON is great, although it is so addictive that I wouldn't recommend it.. I had to ask my GF to change the password to something I didn't know, so that I wouldn't play it all the time.. :S

The worst thing though, is the community. It is horrible. Absolutely brain aching horrible. Learn to use the /ignore command quickly.

And for getting good games, I recommend match making as soon as you know your way around the game, as people almost never leave those games, as the outcomes (And leaves) are registered. Also, match making pairs you with players at your own skill level.
 
After being witness to both LoL and HoN in gameplay and community, I'm afraid I just can't recommend HoN to anyone. The gameplay is equal between the two, but the HoN community is horrendous at best.

I thought WoW players were ignorant and rude. The HoN community makes WoW players look like sweet kindergarten teachers in comparison.

At this point in time, I'll stick to LoL. There ARE people who try to ruin the game for other people, but not nearly as many as the counterpart.
 
Heroes of Newerth will get a new huge patch this Friday (JULY 29th)

It will include:
* New hero: Monkey King!
* New hero: Drunken Master!
* 1 or 2 alternative skins
* New Announcer (british gentleman)
* Balance changes
* Any maybe more stuff.

We also just got the news that the $10 deal (uncheck the "Yes, Purchase The $20 Coin Package") ENDS JULY 29 (no time given) so hurry up if you are still intrested.
 
And it went F2P ... lol.
I wouldn't be so annoyed if i had any intention of playing it again after my first horrifying experience. Back to LoL for me.

At least it was only £6 it cost me, got a day or so entertainment out of it and managed to banter with someone at work about how horrible the community is, not a big loss.
 
Back from a vacation so i missed some of the discussion here.

So yea guess you heard. Heroes of Newearth is now Free 2 Play. The good thing about is that you now no longer have to make your opinion of the this game on someones words. join us now and play it for free and make up your own.
