Heroes of Newerth

Heroes of Newerth (HoN) A relatively new PC video game by S2 Games. Released on May 12th 2010. It is inspired by the custom map for Warcraft III known as Defence of the Ancients or DotA by IceFrog The game is basically the same but with updated graphics and added functionality. There is a small range of heroes that are unique to HoN and a range of heroes who are similar to some DotA heroes, most heroes are ports from DotA. The game is characterised by its bad community. Generally players will trash talk another player if he/she does not play well, rather than offering constructive advice as to how the person playing poorly could play better. Players generally do not give praise to those who do play well either. It is fair to assume that the players who do this do not have many (or any) friends IRL and who are sexually frustrated by the inability to find a girlfriend. Leaving you with the sad virgin nerd syndrome Maybe if they learnt to communicate properly online it may aid their social skills IRL I'm sure someone who studies Psychology can come up with a better Psychological Analysis of the problem players though. Other than that Heroes of Newerth is a pretty decent game. It's an easy way to kill about an hour due to average game length + set up time.
