Can't get a Dota 2 key? Disappointed in Dota 2? Try HON

I used to play a lot of DotA, especially the "All Stars" version, it was around 2007, since then I haven't played much this type of games.

I tried League of Legends and never liked it much, when I heard the news about DotA 2 I thought I will give it a try when it comes out.

In September 2011 I heard of Heroes of Newerth, another moba type game that became free to compete with League of Legends, so I downloaded it and I been playing it a lot in the past 3 months.

Heroes of Newerth is a PC only game, and feels like the true successor to the original DotA and it is also a lot better.

I don't like the DotA 2 graphics, it looks too much like a baby cartoon, DotA 2 graphics are very similar to Team Fortress 2 and I never liked TF2 graphics.

Ironically I thought Battlefield 3 will be the game I would spend most of my time playing these months, but BF3 is a huge disappointment.

So, if you are looking for a good game, that requires teamwork, that has VOIP, good graphics, good art, fun gameplay, new content every week, a lot of depth and is PC only (unlike BF3) then try Heroes of Newerth, it's free.
