The way I view the strategy is like a chess game. Except there are more dynamic strategies and more human variables.

But what really is interesting is the meta-game and how it changes as the game evolves. Specifically the balance between turtling, pushing, and ganking.

Once Eduren runs out of keys, I have three lying around. PM me, and I'll dig'em out for you.

Does anyone know if they've added Tinker yet? My Dota-->HoN knowledge so thin that all I can play is hon-Rikimaru and hon-Sven, and even then, I can only play them marginally well.

Also this, it's even more absurdly popular in Europe:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OzWIFX8M-Y
If that link is what I think it is(a song by a guy with a name that sounds like a brand of fishing rods), then no, it's not that popular and everybody except his record company likes to pretend that that guy doesn't exist.

I play it. Only had a few matches and I'm not great, but I've never gone in for stats over fun anyway.
My player nickname is Maggarg.

I have a beta of HoN floating around somewhere.  Don't recall how I got it or why.  Just that I did and never installed it.

If anybody wants to play with a fellow noob, just add Eduren in-game.

Interesting, some of the characters are directly from DotA but there are some new ones. The hard part is learning what to expect from them all over again.

I would love a key for this.

I love DotA, but can hardly stomach the endless waves of morons, assholes and leavers on Battlenet. :|

I wonder if there are any League of Legends players here.
Because I'm just tired of playing with random morons the matchmaking system throws at me.

Favorite champions are Twisted Fate, Singed, Rammus.
Sometimes also Udyr, Ashe, Teemo.
And I'd like to learn Janna.

Remind me why I have the install file downloaded.  Why should I be interested in this game?  I honestly don't remember who told me and what they said.

No, someone recommended it to me for some reason--I think--so I went out and got a Closed Beta key and downloaded it, but didn't actually get around to installing it, so I'm trying to figure out if I actually care or not.
