Basically the previous to current developer of DotA:A is a lead designer on this. Think of it as DotA:A in its own engine, with worse characterisation and some static elements.

Even HoN is better than this, and HoN is just a straight rip off of DotA:A.

LoL has been discounted to $10 AUD in our version of Gamestop (eb games) and its still a new release.

Get in the free beta of HoN instead, if you need a key, i think i have a few left. Better yet, play the game its based off...
