I have to agree. As someone who's been playing DotA and it's copycats since Pudge spat out invulnerable undead and SA had a Death Ward, HoN just doesn't compare. While it's the closest copycat (LoL just flat out fucking sucks) the graphics sucked, and seemed like they were trying too hard with it, and targeting was always an issue with certain heroes.

Purist is butthurt he's terrible at yet another game. Now it's free and no one wants to play it anyways.

I stopped playing when open beta started. Closed beta was fun because it was, for the most part, good players in there, and most people didn't leave in the middle of the match while my team was kicking them in the poop shoot. After about 2 days of open beta I think I managed to get in less than 5 full games that weren't in-house with just my friends all playing.

harrison griefed off hon just like p99

Harrison is annoying because all he does is trash any type of game with a competitive PVP aspect to it but hes right. HoN is fucking terrible. You can't have idiots that originally sucked at DotA remaking the game in their own vision.

I played HoN in beta and tried it out some a couple months ago. They got it completely wrong.

[EkireiTheNecro]

Been playing HoN the past couple days instead of LOL.

The game itself isn't too bad...but I dont think I got to play a SINGLE 5v5 match.

I thought LoL was bad with leavers/feeders/ass-holes but HoN is 10x worse. I didn't think it was possible but the HoN community actually IS worse than the LoL community as well.

It was pretty clear after a couple days playing why nobody wants to play their game.

HoN's drawg: omg we have denies our game is such much bettar!

Sorry, just your pathetic obsession with sub-par "EQpvp."

those are all people from LoL who are playing hon since it went f2p

not true even back in beta I remember kids ragequitting over dumb shit all the time.

HoN is a decent game it just always felt less polished than LoL and I didn't like the game pace quite as much-

And clearly by popular vote LoL is far superior to HoN.

I'm not sure but I'm p sure that even DoTA2 won't be able to knock LoL off the top

[purist]

yeah, that's beta

HoN has a terrible community but HoN folk who play now and paid for accounts aren't leavers

the leavers ekirei is complaining about are LoLers on unverified accounts

[Harrison]

HoN had massive amounts of leavers.

It was so bad, and still is. I've had a whole two people leave games in LoL since I've started.

Been playing it since closed beta, and been playing Dota for years before that.


If you're looking for a game like Dota and don't want to play the WC3 original, HoN wins. Hopefully Dota 2 will clean up the shit wrong with it.


With my experience, overall HoN has the most skillful community and the most douchey community. I have played a few hundred games in the past two months and I haven't had more than 1 maybe 2 games with a leaver/disconnect.

I Beta tested LoL and have friends who play it religiously... I really don't understand the draw. The game is easier and yet people are still bad... but that was a year ago and so I can't pretend to understand where it stands now.


With the free to play patch, we're gonna see a lot more of the old-school dota and LoL coming through HoN. Tons of leavers, having to buy heroes, and an even worse community.

You played during beta, where there was zero accountability for leaving games. Guess what, I played during closed beta too, as well as well after it. Once it went retail and you had to purchase an account to play, people knew their accounts would get gimped if you reached a certain leave percentage, and nobody really ragequit.

Is the community horrible? yeah

Do people ragequit right and left? lol no
