hey pipa!!!! to those who dont know... heroes of newerth is a online game, pretty much like dot.a... that is in its BETA stage.
before you start thinking about playing it.. here's a few important spoilers.
spoilers:
no living armor (for keeper of the forest or you know, the big walking tower in dota.)
no stun in war beast's dogs (lycantrophe)
lich is no longer ice element, he's a poison element.
there's a shortcut key to shops except the secret ones, it's (B).
Not all of the heroes in dot.a are in HoN. Some are new, while others are nerfed.
Finally, the lvl 6 of slither (venomancer) won't kill below 1 hp!(Can you belive that??!!! TSK3!!!!)
and oh yeah, to play it, nid a beta key. its up to you where to find one... hehehe

i think you are not realy playing the game...
they reworked keepers skills....
and by the way S2 Games will not give anymore beta keys coz they are near to releasing the game this year...
