This game is highly addictive, as my classification says. If you like DOTA then you will love this game.

User Rating: 10 | Heroes of Newerth PC
Not much to say to a DOTA player except that stores are improoved very much, hotkeys wont break your fingers. Graphics are amazing for this kind of games. You have heroes from DOTA, and also a bunch of new heroes as well.

If you never played DOTA then you will have a hard time learning, because the learning curve from beginner to intermediate is very, and i mean VERY big. Still you will want to keep playing cuz this game makes you wanna improve and own your opponents.

The community, as in a every competitive game is pretty bad cuz players tend to rage and noob you out (just wait till you noob them out, that will be so satisfying).

The forum is pretty active, and S2 (developers) tend to reply to your posts so you can have an official answer.

You can also have addons in the game that will make your gaming lot more confortable.

TL;DR : Amazing game and very addictive, crappy community but will get better if you get better.
