It's by far the best DotA style game out, and it's completely free! (This is of course only when you're bored of SC2  )Very biased response. If you liked Dota in any form play HoN. Its like DotA on steroids. LoL is free but it is full of nothing but imba heroes that are picked every game. | ||

Anyways, last night I started playing this for a change of pace and I thought it was really interesting. Of course, all my teammates hated me because I had no idea what I was doing. I played a couple games with different characters and decided I really liked Mandrake. He seems pretty cool and I got some hilarious kills with martyr. If you have faster movement speed and someone is weak and isolated, you can just follow them until they die lol. I like his ultra or w/e but it seems like it takes forever to use so its not very good as an OH SHI- move. =( I also tried out that hybrid that knows the surge spell, and he seems pretty cool although I don't understand how to use him. What other characters are good? I have actually never played DotA before, so I don't really understand the basics..I was sorta just trying to kill stuff. | ||

Zealot and shadow are incredibly strong too and tassadar, both snipers, and erekul are easy to play as well. Boros is fragile early but does stupid damage if you make it through the early game without dying and falling behind. Basically, the best advice I can give you if you are learning the game is to learn to not die before you try to learn to kill. That means learning to not take unnecessary damage from creeps and towers so you can stay in lane longer and also means detecting situations where ganks are coming and back up to safety. If you think it feels unsafe, just back up to your tower. The number one cause of annoyance for experienced players toward new players is when the new players die too much and "feed" opposing heroes to the point where they are too strong to kill. If you avoid that, you shouldn't have many issues with your teammates. | ||

I'd be interested in playing some games with reliable people just for fun but at least being sure who you're playing with/against isn't gonna be one of these. From the results of my search I couldn't find out if there's any teamliquid sotis channel so I assume there isn't, but I'm just curious to see if there are many people out here still playing it as if yes, we might be able to do a channel to find others to play with (and if enough do play, can even fill a complete room I guess  ).Back on topic : is the mandrake still that op? I barely see anyone use it, and I've only tried a few classes myself. I decided to go for ghost and "master" that one a bit before switching and trying out others. | ||

Mandrake can be pretty damn strong still, if you gear him correctly (get a TPI) and know how to play him. Also, Unix is godly if you gear him for time scale and use a TPI right before using your ultimate. You can do ridiculous amounts of damage. | ||

Hell even the big slow guys like tiny and tide in Dota seem to move faster than most characters in HoN. SotIS seems about right in comparison only wish it had more variety in terms of Heros just too few from what I'm used too. | ||

If you want balanced games with good players and no laggers, you need to pay the Sotis inhouse games. Details for how to join can be found on their website. Personally, I find this the most rage inducing game, but it is still pretty fun. Much less stressful than starcraft, because the apm required is so much lower. I can relax and play some Sotis, while I can never relax and play starcraft (if I do relax, I will get completely steamrolled). | ||

BTW, I liked how in DOTA they had the banlist checker thing. Too bad bnet 2.0 sucks so much ass that isn't even possible. My favorite part is how every other game 1 or 2 people disconnect from the lobby while the game is starting. Man, battle.net 2.0 is awesome! | ||

Man, battle.net 2.0 is awesome! You necro a thread to whine about bnet 2.0? Banlists were awful in WC3, it worked in a perfect world but if your internet cut out and you were disconnected and you never get into another game again. It's hilarious that you cite people disconnecting in SC2 when in WC3 there was absolutely no punishment either. The SotIS forums are a far better place to discuss this. I personally do not enjoy it as a DotA player, but I'm sure Blizzard DotA will be far less clunky. | ||
