Wonder how this will do, MOBA has got to be the toughest genre to break into with both LoL and Dota 2 completely owning the market. I know HoN has some pedigree and brand recognition but even back then it was never that huge, and it's biggest claim to fame at the time was that its engine was much better than running as a WC3 custom map (since that's all Dota was at the time) - it was basically seen as Dota 1.5 and when Dota 2 came out most people jumped ship. At least that's how I remember it, it's been a while.

What an era. Was kinda the most unbalanced moba, where a single high skill player could dominate both teams. Good time to be a mid ganker carry

Idk how that's going to go.

This was a hilariously toxic game by the way, coming from someone who played and enjoyed it as a teen. Seriously, even the developers were completely insane
