Well HoN is a very Niche game. I don't expect it to be around for very long, but as long as DOTA2 isn't out, it has a place. Perhaps it is a short time investment? LoL vs HoN discussion is really not necessary though, they cater to two different audiences. I always hope for the best for NASL, especially after the Koreans decided to trash it and themselves.

they probably added HoN because the Dota 2 footage shown at gamescom looked like crap. The graphics were awfull and everything looked like a different shade of mud.

I trust icefrog with doing great balance with dota 2 but when you cant see anything what's going on the screen how do you want to introduce people to the game. " here is this brown clump and there flies another one " and so on.

I dunno most hon players i know hold dota in the highest regard tbh.

I just prefer nice graphics and a game built for it - dota2 looks amazing.

I'm surprised you and a few others feel that way. Personally in DotA I don't want to have a colorful background. Give me the crisp animations and hero models and I'm good to go. Anything more is a distraction from the tightly wound play of DOTA.

Where do you LoL players get your information about HoN being dead?

Sure it doesn't have the stupid amount of people playing it but it's still a fantastic game and as close to DotA you get without playing DotA right now.

Im stoked for this.


It has nothing to do with LoL being more popular, Riot's not going to kill it. Valve is.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Yup, personally I find it way harder to tell stuff apart in HoN than on the DotA2 stream due to all the shiny graphics and effects HoN has.

Maybe if you actually played the game you would know what you're seeing. And besides, competitive HoN is atleast fun to watch compared to LoLletsfarmuntilminute30

And Dota2 release isn't gonna happen for 6 months

"Promotional" means HoN is paying to be there. That's why.

I've never touched a moba game but I could follow Dota2 nicely on that Valve invitational tournament and it was easy on the eye. Other moba games I can't watch more than 5 seconds.

You realize the tournament wasn't played on a release quality version of the game right? They're still working on the game. The tournament was just to hype up publicity for it.

Well, this seems like a direct shot at MLG picking up LoL, and it makes perfect sense. Wonder whether NASL is picking up new staff, since it seems like the old staff just about managed with only SC2.

if NASL want to get popular and well known then why pick HON? It's a really stupid choice and they need all the audience they can get since the Korean drama in sc2 part.
HON is basically dead
I'm not hating on HON but the community is just too small to be viable
I'm just viewing this business wise alright? Don't respond like i haven't play the game and stuff.
