ParticipantFrom the people that brought you dota one of the best warcraft mods is now a new genre called MOBA (massively multiplayer battle arena) The game is league of legends, one of the best games I’ve ever played. You should try it out and tell me what u think.

I enjoy HoN.
I didn’t like the LoL interface and it didn’t help that it crashed the first time i played it…
I don’t want to relearn all the heroes+items AGAIN. =\

By the way thank you for the key, the game is actually better and runs better than LOL on my laptop

ParticipantI haven’t tried HoN yet. Could’ve gotten a key when it first came out cuz my friend had me submit a request with his email (his IP was blocked for a while cuz he requested a bunch for his friends), but I didn’t think of it at the time.

I’ve heard some people on the forums calling it inferior to LoL, but people are threatening to switch over to it after last week’s patch. I’m still addicted to LoL, though; I didn’t mind the patch.
Can you PM me a key? I’d like to give it a try.

I’ve have been an avid gamer for quite sometime. I agree that LoL, even tho beta, is just too much like the rest of those crappy PvP type games that are created every month. I would really like to try HON if you still have beta keys left. my e-mail is mjmarchese1@catamount.wcu.edu
March 1, 2010 at 5:50 pm #97878rcon_l@nce
ParticipantUSING ALL MY KEYS!!!
j/k
HoN is VERY similar to DotA and has some hero clones. It also plays very similarly to DotA. I’ve been playing LoL and I don’t really like it too much… Not much team-play and everything seems too laid-back. HoN gets very team oriented, even in pubs.
Word of the wise for HoN – Metagame consists of lots of AoE heroes (Enigma/Tempest, Earthshaker/Behemoth Etc.). Your team will rage if you skip over Enigma / Omniknight.
I’ll send the keys later, I’m in a rush now.

I’d like one… I keep seeing people play it but I don’t know anything about it besides it being a remake of DOTA/better version of it… do I need to pay for it if you can give me an invite?
March 2, 2010 at 8:30 am #97893JV18
ParticipantSo yea after playing HON for two days and LOL for almost two months HON blows it away and I now prefer this one to anyone wanting to play a MOBA game

I mean, you can pay me in sexual favors, but it’s free-to-play ATM since it’s in Beta. Idk if the retail will be pay to play though, but it’s only $30 if it is.
I need email address’s to send you keys.
I have 4 left.

ParticipantPlayed two games yesterday (one vs my boyfriend and then a pub). Here’s my first impression.
Likes:
- Like JV18 said, it runs better on my laptop than LoL
- Different options for game creation; to name a couple, there’s an options to open up slots for spectators and you can choose to make it a practice game right then and there (you have to exit back out and go back to game creation in LoL)
- Bigger map(s? I haven’t checked to see if there were any more after the first couple games on the same map)
- More aesthetically pleasing, even when gfx settings are on low, but LoL wasn’t bad. Additionally, I think in LoL, when you’re at top and bot, something gets distorted there (might go into this more if someone cares and if I can think about how to describe it)
Dislikes (but are tolerable):
- The shop is better in LoL, imo. You can click on an item and it will show you what other items you can make with it, and then clicking on those will show you the recipes. Also, the hotkeys for buying? wtfbbq. I will get used to it, but it was a little daunting when I first opened up the shop
- Also, regarding the shop, in HoN, you don’t see the name and cost of the recipe until you click (and/or maybe hover; I can’t recall atm) on the item
- Maybe it was just me misclicking, but I had to be misclicking a lot of *edited*ing times. I had a little bit of trouble making my hero use his potions while running
- When using items in the inventory, why do I have to use alt+a, alt+q, etc.? Why didn’t they let you use the numbers instead, like in war3? Meh. (LoL implements this)
- In LoL, there are hotkeys for upgrading your abilities, alt+q, alt+w, alt+e, alt+r. I use those a lot so I don’t have to move my cursor away from what I’m doing. I know you can customize your hotkeys, but I didn’t see an option for binding keys for upgrading skills.
- Like LoL, I can’t alt+tab out of the client or it freezes. I don’t place the blame on either of the clients; I blame it on my craptop. But I still hate it. xP
As you can see, I use the hotkeys a lot, so this was slightly annoying to me, lol. But I’ll get used to them.
That’s what I got after two games. I’ll update if I think of anything else.

ParticipantI do like, LoL, though I haven’t played in a really long time.
March 7, 2010 at 2:15 am #98239lawlrence
ParticipantHoN is not a new game. HoN is a stand-alone dota client. LoL is attempt at taking what worked from dota, and improving on that. LoL is a lot more fun than HoN and has a lot more potential for competitive play IMO. I also have beta keys for HoN available. If anyone wants one email me.

I agree with you in the everything and i seem to misclick a little myself on Hon and LOL shop is better but its ok. I love both games overall but I do play HON a lil more because it runs better like I said and more graphic beautiful
