This is true of almost any PC multiplayer community, of course. Such is the dependence of a team on its members, that anyone messing about is going to find themselves apologising profusely to experts who expect more of their allies. Be sure that your skill rating matches that of the server before entry, or you can expect to be ruthlessly booted. Said community is divided into 'noob' and pro servers, but even this doesn't guarantee a friendly game. Learning in public means braving Heroes of Newerth's judgemental community. But working out what an effective build for a given character might be is going to take homework. You're going to learn about the combat across the map, how to play the waves of creeps to your advantage, how to nail that last-hitting thing and how to stay alive in a fight, simply by practice. You could do it by trial and error, but it's probably safer to simply back out of the game and watch a few more video tutorials, then read some guides online. ![]() The complexity of Heroes of Newerth lies not in its overall model – for the team vs team tower defence concept is simple – but in learning useful builds of both skills and inventory items for a number of the 62 different heroes. It seems like a bizarrely arbitrary extra layer of detail we could have done without.Īll the items have quite different effects, modifying everything from movement speed to damage output, from mana regeneration to one-use health reclamation. Every item consists of multiple ingredients, each of which must be purchased to create any given item. The shop, however, offers dozens more items that you can fit into six slots in your inventory. The hero you choose has four innate powers, which can be levelled up as you play with that individual – standard RPG type stuff – and you'll instinctively understand that you need to max-out particular powers depending on your play styles. The second clue to the high barrier for entry comes with the shop. Some of us do help new/struggling players so just ask away.Towers provide powerful backup in a fight Please realize that our community is toxic just like that of other games but not all of us are assholes living in our parent's basements. ![]() With all said and done, I'd like to welcome you to Heroes of Newerth. I have never played DotA but I'm aware of the names since my HoN friends still use DotA names in our games so I can help you with that as well. I don't have much experience for HotS but I'm willing to look up the skillset of a particular hero and let you know what's the closest possible thing we have to it. If there is a particular character you like from LoL or Smite, let me know and I'll tell you if there exists something in HoN that resembles it's playstyle. Maybe stay off them till you've played a couple of matches in HoN to get a feel of this game. ![]() You've stated you've played other MOBA games so I don't know but I would never give a player starting out a hero that has a channeling ultimate so while heroes like Magmus(Sand King), Glacius(Crystal Maiden), Succubus(Bane) are easy. Hammerstorm(Sven) is also good to learn for beginners. Witchslayer(Lion), Accursed(I dunno his DotA name but his model used to be that of Deathknight Arthas) and Blacksmith(Ogre Magi) are other good heroes that are effective. Squishy and slow but otherwise he's amazing to learn and understand how matches proceed. Very easy hero with a very simple yet effective skill set. Plague Rider( I believe he's the port of Lich from DotA) is what I put my cousins on when they started playing HoN.
