Heroes of Newerth (HoN) is undeniably the best multiplayer game i've ever played. S2 , the company behind HoN, takes established third party mods and gives them their own engines. Savage and Savage 2 , as far as i know, are based on the once popular half-life mod named Natural Selection and HoN is obviously based on Dota . The original creator of Dota, Guinsoo has also decided to get behind another Dota clone named League of Legends . From the reviews i've read, it seems fairly underwhelming but it does look like it has potential, personally i'm hoping for a native linux build. The person responsible for Dota's success, IceFrog , has been hired by none other than Valve Software . Dota devotees are adamant that this is not the end of Dota, i'm not convinced. I think we should lay Dota to rest knowing that it has left it's mark on the gaming world. Moba Gamers is a good site to keep track of what's happening, I'm off to play some HoN.
