Heroes of Newerth is a DotA style PVP based multiplayer game. It is faced paced and has a very tough learning curve. Once you get over the hump however it is one of the most rewarding and addictive games out there. To me it reminds me of a game of chess played out with 5 people on each team. It is fast paced and no two games are alike.

If anyone decides they wanna give it a shot and wants to pick it up. I will help as much as I can with you learning the game and the items, although I will say the best way to learn is just play more games. The more you face enemy heroes and items, the more you understand what everyone and everything does.
Cheers!
