it's definitely fun if you have a group of friends playing together.
the matchmaking system is still pretty messed up..
they say it's 50-50 that you win or lose. what they didn't mention is that it's 50% that you win by obliterating the other team completely or 50% you got raped real bad.
i barely get a very balanced, competitive game using the matchmaking system.. the chance is like 1 out of 5 or 1 out of 10..

the game is basically like dota except all new heroes, all new items and new features. there's a mastery system ( passive stats to add each time your summoner level up ) and rune system.

the game does offer some tips for new players. when you open up the item shop ( ingame ) they have tips for which items to buy for you hero. they might not hit the spot all the time, but it's a general guideline to what kind of item you should be getting for your char.

and if you do want to play HoN, prepare yourself for a game with shitty learning curve and a bad.. bad.. community..
even if you're familiar or experienced with dota, it will take some time to get used to the new models, new names of heroes and items in HoN.
not too mention a bad item shop system. it's like learning dota all over again..
