Heroes of Newerth builds upon the DotA formula and takes it to the next level by delivering cutting edge graphics, fast-paced gameplay, meticulous statistical tracking, and server-client networking that feeds gamers' competitive appetites around the world. Heroes of Newerth puts two teams of players against each other: the Legion and the Hellbourne. Both teams are based at opposite sides of a map. The standard map is split into three continuous 'lanes' (Two in one of the lesser-played maps), running from one base to the other. Defensive towers are positioned evenly through each lane, until the lanes terminate at a team's base. After 12 years of competitive release, Heroes of Newerth finally went offline on June 20th 2022.

Thousands of hours well spent
The community had the best banter of any MOBA, it will be missed.
The gameplay was a nice middleground between the fast paced action of League and the methodical pace of Dota 2.
HoN spearheaded a lot of innovation in the Genre, but ultimately fell behind for a plethora of good reasons, unfortunately nothing else plays like it.

sucks lol. graphics didnt age well. heroes i played (pandamonium & chipper) were the clunkiest out of any moba ive ever played. the shop is messy and terrible. probably looked a lot better in 2010. tutorial crashed. maybe i just got unlucky with it, theres a few cool hero designs. just play dota 2
HoN era antes de DOTA2 o sucessor espiritual mais fiel às mecânicas de Dota.
Enquanto LoL seguiu por um caminho diferente, implementando mudanças significativas de gameplay e uma direção de arte mais colorida e carismática, HoN se manteve mais dark e sóbrio, com gameplay mais fiel às origens, mantendo convenções e sendo de forma geral mais conservador.
Apesar de um gameplay sólido e funcional, a experiência me pareceu similar demais e ligeiramente inferior a Dota, e preferi investir meu tempo no concorrente.
