So um, guys, I have a question... I'm not sure it belongs here and I'll edit it out if it doesn't, but :
Why is there such a massive LoL thread and nothing on HoN? It went free to play, right?
I'm asking because a friend is trying to get me to play HoN with him. I've never played a DOTA-clone since that wc3 map that was DOTA's precursor. I do love Bloodline:Champions for the quick matches and intense gameplay, but know nothing about HoN, except that it's kind of like LoL, only paid (until now)
What's the difference? Is there really any? I'm just confused
I tried to play HoN, I really tried. The tutorial was me being thrown in the boots of a level 25 mage, without the possibility to check out what the spells did. So I just spammed things and it was over. The only thing I remember from it now was the champ being really really loud, with ever other autoattack: "HAAAH!" "HUAAAH!" "GAAAH!"
I get to matchmatching after updating hickups (why would you have "yes, update" on the right side of a prompt box?), I choose a champion, people load up and the game starts, I'm excited. I walk out of the base, then a vote pauses the game. Apparently there was someone afk on the other team. There's another vote for remaking the game, which apparently means disbanding it.
So I try again, this time, I wait for people to load, the game starts, I get to the lane and someone on my team asks if we want to go for FB. We try, the guy runs away on 20% health, so my team votes to remake and I'm staring at the main page of the game again. After 20 minutes I haven't played a single minute properly. HoN can go screw itself.
