so i've been playing this new game called heroes of newerth lately; its literally DOTA (i cannot express how much this game is a clone of dota) with an updated engine and the absence of Warcraft trappings. if anyone wants a beta key to come play with me (asmo) you should post in this thread saying that you want to play with me (asmo.)

Hey asmo, sorry for the stupid question, but WTH is dota?

its a warcraft 3 mod that takes away all the micromanagement and unit creation stuff that typical strategy games have.

I don't know why you'd want to play Heroes of Newerth when there's League of Legends! You can get the same steep learning curves and poor community, but you don't have to pay for an account!
Also, I play LoL. Sometimes. Which makes it cooler.
Okay, yeah, the games are completely different in many respects but, y'know, the pricetag's optional.

I play alot of LoL, usually Master Yi. My friends and I bounce between games but LoL is the constant. Right now it's LoL and Minecraft though a few of us have downloaded Bloodline Champions to see what we think of it.
Yeah if you wanna add me and DL the names are umm... crap I can't remeber if I went with bulbshamuu or hamuu... just try both and I'll add you on the right one. DL is LordLorsha.
I would be happy to play with anyone, premade is always better than the usual baddies you get from not having a full party. Sometimes you're lucky and you get a good people but most of the time.... eh...
But yeah totes hit me up on there.
Oh, and btw, SV is never on. Ever. Seriously.

Yes. It's not that hard, if you make an account just message me on here or facebook with your summoner name, I'll add you and my friends and I can show you the ropes. Do you have vent?

i just sent my resume to Riot so i should probably pick up LoL soon. who wants to teach me what to do? Rofl me too. Like 2 months ago. I would of had to make an awesome relocation. On topic, HoN is so bad. Its Dota, but more expensive. It has the same community as Dota, which is not a good thing. The mechanics are not as good as Dota, which is a bad thing. Its down 2-4 days of the week, and gets attacked 2-3 times a month, shutting it down another 2-4 days. Matchmaking queues are down an average of 4 hours a day, usually the night prime time, gamers twilight. It really is just Dota with more graphics, less heros, and a worse community, cuz the baddies from Dota went to HoN. Dota has actually got better, if your in a league, though not as popular. IF you don't mind the cost, or the trolls, HoN is ok, but don't ever expect a good game unless you have a premade. I still think Dota is superior. HoN is actually a little more fast paced, the creeps move faster, the towers have longer range, but don't hit as hard, but have more life. Its near impossible to start as a jungler, which makes high elo skilled games shitty. The superior AOS is LoL. It has to much going for it, especially casually.

HoN isn't offline 2-4 days a week at all. It recently had some issues with DDoS attacks for a week or two at the end of May, but I haven't really seen significant downtime since I started playing it two years ago.

Lol two years ago when it just had its one year anniversary. Mhmmmm. That's like the 7th DDoS attack, and its well known what it is, and I hope it keeps happening, the company is quite racist. They refuse to give the middle eastern countries flag icons, while everyone else has them, and that's who keeps attacking them, and will until they get their flags.
Middle eastern countries make up a huge amount of people who play, and also for competition. Hell out of all the dota tourneys over the past 7 years only like 0 ever happened in the states and like 4 North American teams ever made it to any.
Outside of my exaggerations, I've never once got on where matchmaking wasn't offline. Over the course of the day It comes back on, but thats the only reason to play the game, queues. Not a single time.

Not a single time. I was in the beta for a year; if you add a year of beta testing to a year of release that equals two years. Also the recent string of attacks were literally the product of whiny people upset about not being able to crash specific servers so their shitty stats wouldn't save. I don't know if the company is racist but the owner certainly is. I've been in games with him multiple times and he always nerd rages and calls people niggers.

1) You've not played with the owner. 2) The owner doesn't act like that. 3) Afaganies made the attacks about not having an afganie flag. This is their third DDoS Attack. 4) You didn't participate in the year beta because every companies open and closed alpha is reserved only for staff members and family of staff. I can see you participating in public open betas, and closed if you were in the open, for say 3 months, but no longer.
I like exaggeration and exacerbation as well, but straight up making up lies about the racist owner is wrong. Really they are not so racist, they just refuse to give flags to our war time enemies, and that's understandable, however slightly racist for a world wide game.
