In DOTA I could just create a new account to mess around with different item builds and try new heroes, in HoN so far it seems like you cannot do that. I am hoping that the non-beta release of the client will fix some of these things, but as it stands in beta I am done with the game for now.
that's actually the best part of the game. preventing people from making multiple accounts so they can come in and fvck games up on purposes without consequence.
it's something i hope blizzard does in their new games. limit each cdkey to one account.
they should have a realm where it does not track stats for things like this, but i don't know how many people will play in that realm.
the only good things about HoN compared to dota are getting a game started, allow disconnects to reconnect, stat tracking (discouraging leavers).
i don't care about graphics.
everything else, dota is superior at.
balance & number of heroes, cleanliness of the interface
gameplay wise, dota >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> hon
