Ranged heroes have varying attack ranges. Melee heroes have short attack range and ranged heroes have long attack range. The two attack types are melee and ranged. Heroes also are grouped by their attack type.

Strength heroes can take the most damage and increase their Max Health and Health regeneration. Intelligence heroes maximize the use of their abilities and try to maximize the amount of Mana they have and Mana regeneration. Usually, Agility heroes rely on their basic attacks and go for damage per second (DPS) and increase their armor and attack speed. The three types are Agility, Intelligence, and Strength. Heroes are grouped by their main attribute. 'R' is the hero's ultimate and can only be leveled up when the hero reaches level 6 except for some heroes. An ability can be leveled up whenever the hero's level goes up. Most heroes have four abilities that may be acquired and upgraded as the hero gains experience and levels up, defaulted to keys 'Q', 'W', 'E', and 'R'. Each game, a player chooses one hero to be for the duration of the match. The fourth ability is the ultimate ability.ДЄs of Septem, there are 139 playable heroes. Sometimes the D key is used for the fifth ability. The default keys for abilities are Q,W,E and R. Some heroes can spawn or summon pets, creatures or devices. Players can allow each other to control their own heroes. The maximum hero level is 25.Д®ach player typically plays one hero. As players level up, they choose an ability to level up, or level up stats, which gives +2 to agility, intelligence and strength. Gold is gained by killing or assisting the killing of enemy soldiers, heroes, creatures, devices, kongor or golem. Purple dots on creeps indicate whether the player is close enough to gain experience when the creep dies. Experience is gained by seeing an enemy soldier, hero, neutral creature, kongor or golem die, from a predefined range. To achieve this, players initially need to go to lanes, jungle, kongor's pit or one of golem's pits. Players can choose to fill multiple roles at the same time.ДЄfter the game starts, players need gold and experience to get stronger over time. Typical roles are Carry, Support, Ganker, Jungler and Suicide. Heroes can fulfill many of these roles in different degrees. Heroes can specialize in dealing damage, tanking, crowd control, healing, destroying towers, farming, defending, harassing, initiating fights, empowering nearby allies, providing vision, seeking and revealing enemies, killing kongor and so on. There are picking modes to allow players to create teams with balanced functionality. Players achieve this by selecting heroes with unique skills to combat the other team. The goal of the game is to either destroy the central structure, the World Tree (Legion) or Sacrificial Shrine (Hellbourne), of the opposite base or force the other team to concede. Bases consist of buildings, barracks, towers, a hero spawning pool, and a central structure. Both teams are based at opposite corners of the map in their respective bases. Luckily, many of the heroes are simply ports of DotA heroes but learning who is who is also a slow process.Heroes of Newerth pits two teams of players against each other: the Legion and the Hellbourne. IвЂ™ve played a number of games so far and have found one of my biggest hurdles is re-learning the heroes in HoN. It is only right that I suddenly become enamored with Heroes of Newerth (HoN), a game by S2Games currently in beta that matches the functionality of DotA and adds a layer of awesomeness on top.

As IвЂ™ve posted many times on this blog, IвЂ™m a huge fan of DotA (Defense of the Ancients).
