I got an invite from a friend, which doesn't give me any extra passes to hand out sadly.
Played one game last night and did pretty terrible as skeleton king- it's going to take me a lot of games just to get used to the difference between this and LoL.
Damn I'm jealous lol, SK was one of my favorites from DOTA. How is the matchmaking system in it? Do they have something like LoL where you reconnect to the same game if you leave?
You can reconnect, seen others do it, but I didn't get disconnected in the one game I played so I don't know exactly how it works.
Not sure how the whole matchmaking system works, but when you start you can pick beginner, intermediate, or pro as your skill level and it will try to match you with similar players. Also if you pick beginner it limits you to games with the simplest of heroes, apparently keeps the complex mechanics and skill-shot intensive champions out of the game. I picked intermediate.
The most notable thing so far is the awesome observer mode. It seems you can watch any currently running game, see fog of war from either side's point of view, enter and leave observed games at will. Some games had 30 or more observers, I don't think there is a set limit. You see the game with a 3 minute delay, to prevent cheating.
Impressive to me at least is that the engine functions fine (on low settings) on my dm1z netbook, which only has a 1.6ghz E-350 CPU. It's not running at 60 fps, but it's fine for watching games and looks like it would be mostly playable, looked like 20-40 fps depending on action.

got the invite today, first game the server crashed. I like the look, I don't really know the heroes, but I played HoN and Mirana is exactly like Valkyrie, so I'll just stick with Mirana until I know how all the other heroes are.
Gameplay feels stiff, like it's not responsible for my taste, but I'm sure that'll get fixed otherwise I like the game.
The heroes in HoN were ripped directly from DOTA I think, I'm not sure what they've added since it came out but when I first tried HoN the heroes were exactly the same pretty much.
if anybody wants an invite, pm me! I gave my other invite to a friend, and I don't want the last one to go to waste.
Gone!
Gameplay felt so boring compared to LoL. If you think LoL is slow paced, this is 100x worse.
