http://www.leagueoflegends.com
Warcraft 3 had quite a few notable custom maps. The most famous of these was Defense of the Ancients, which ended up spawning an entire new genre of game.
Multiplayer Online Battle Arenas!
These games play similar to a hybrid RPG/RTS. You control only one unit. Two teams of five battle to destroy the opponent's nexus and win the match, leveling up off repeatedly spawning minions and buying items to become more powerful.
A significant chunk of the original DotA team went on to found Riot Games, who developed League of Legends as a spiritual successor to DotA.
So why should you play League?
1. IT'S FREE! The game is supported by microtransactions, but the grind is minimal, 10 different free champions from the entire catalog rotate every week, and the only thing you can't get simply by playing the game are custom skins.
2. IT'S FUN! This game contains all the good things about DotA with a better control scheme, better graphics, better balance, and more strategy. There's like 70+ champions now, all with unique abilities and looks, and I can count the number that aren't viable on one hand. Virtually all of them are a blast to play. Here's a list: http://www.leagueoflegends.com/champions
3. IT CAN BE COMPETITIVE! League of Legends is quickly becoming one of the largest E-sports in the business. 2 weeks ago they held a $100,000 tournament in Sweden that attracted over 200,000 viewers online, the largest gaming stream ever outside of Korea. If this is your thing you'll love this game. Here's a video of the championship match from the tournament to give you an idea of how the game plays at high level: http://season-one-championship.na.leagueoflegends.com/match/fnaticmsi-vs-aaa-championship-match
4. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE! The game also has non-ranked and Co-op vs AI games for when you just wanna kick back and get your league on.
The only real downside is that the community ranges from mediocre to terrible, but that's just a fact of the internet these days. Play with friends!
My summoner name is Amalockh if anyone wants to play, or Rhylith1 if you're new and don't wanna play against crazy good people. Check it out, it's really fun!

How am I a jerk because I don't like something? You're a jerk for liking this game and having the nerve to post about it, then.
Anyway, I just didn't like how it played. It was.. clunky.

I just dislike how a subset of this board doesn't even try to foster a decent discussion, they just jump into every thread and toss in a short, snide remark. It contributes nothing. Don't like something? That's fine. Actually say why!

you be quiet you horrible little man!
In thread related news, I've never played but watched a co-worker go through a couple of rounds, seems like a distraction you can pick up and put down pretty fast.

That's cool, not a generalization or anything at all. Dums makes some random comment that you seem to take personal offense to and so i just troll around to prod you a bit and now I'm part of the "bad subset of this board". While yes, i do play and enjoy HoN much more, I bare no ill will towards LoL players (my brother and his friends lan and play all the time, I hang out with them and even watch them play occasionally). There is no reason to be so butt hurt over my comment, but if you like LoL over HoN you are still literally worse than Hitler.

I never said anything near that. I just said that I would like it if people would actually TALK on this board rather than the usual one sentence post count one-upsmanship, especially when it's clear that I'm trying to find out if anyone here plays or would like to play a game.
You could very easily have posted the positive aspects Heroes of Newerth has over LoL, but chose to just say LOL SUX HON BETTER NOOB. I've never played HoN, and the subscription fee barrier makes me less likely to do so, but if they actually provide better service it might be worthwhile. It looks like it was developed more for DotA purists though, whereas LoL is a natural evolution of the game to capture a wider audience.
Edit: on further analysis it costs 30 bucks straight up for HoN and no subscription. Whoever I got my original info from is a liar!

did you copy and paste the op, or was that all you? bravo if the latter
also, i'm pretty much universally reluctant to try any new game which takes ongoing time, but this one at least sounds promising, if i were to ever pick anything else up besides daoc

Having played near 1000 games in each of the two, I prefer LoL over HoN. I haven't played HoN since it released retail.

Played both, i like both too. The communities that follow the games are terrible though, a lot of very mean people.
Aside from the jerkholes that play them I like the gameplay even though i'm not that good at it. as for differences all Hon characters are unlocked from the gate whereas LoL characters are a set ammount available each week for free and you can buy them with in game points or real money to keep them available forever.
I found HoN to be harder than LoL. that's about all i got 
lots of ppl stream both games on jtv if your interested in seeing some high level gameplay

yah silhouette is pretty cool
For whoever said they haven't played HoN since retail the game has gotten WAY better since then. A FULLY functional (and awesome) matchmaking, in game cosmetic store (some of the stuff is pretty funny, they have different announcers, alternate skins with complete new animations/sounds/etc, other little things) but this has NO bearing whatsoever on in game mechanics, patches every week, a new hero roughly every 2, and aside from the problem with the hackers a month ago or so there is almost 0 server downtime.
For other general things about the game for those who are interested and so i dont get persecuted for not adding to the discussion again. This game was originally created to improve the DotA experience because of the limitations of the WC3 engine, so originally the game was basically a DIRECT port aside from a few brand new heroes made by the company. upon purchase of an account (one time fee of $30 bucks, and every 2-3 months or so they have a sale for $10 accounts, a steal imo) you have IMMEDIATE access to ALL ingame content outside of the cosmetic store. That is every single hero that is out and is released in the future, all modes of gameplay (if you are familiar with DOTA you will know these: All Pick, Single Draft, Ban Draft, Ban Pick, All Random). You have access to mods that let you tune your UI a little bit to your liking that had its own dedicated subforum. Not to mention a LOT less 12 year olds due to needing a credit card to purchase the game (there is a problem of a decent amount of brazillians who are typically very bad and do not like to communicate). There is very little issue with leavers in HoN due to having punishment for those who do, and there is a pause function available if someone on your team crashes. The video engine and game mechanics play out much smoother than LoL's does. The community is very competitive so there are a decent amount of people who are, shall we say, less than friendly in game. This shouldn't be an issue if you queue with friends and/or don't have your head up your ass. I am sure there is plenty other stuff that i missed but thats the general idea.

Anders!!! Wow, man, what a surprise!!
I am doing good. Got married about 4yrs ago, will be a father by the end of October . Been off games for quite a while now, thought I'd check out LoL, had heard good things about it.
How about you? Gaming at all or just haunting old forums?!

It's so funny because I have not been on these boards for 4 years...the week I check, I see posts from all sorts of old gaming buddies. Congrats on getting hitched and your incoming OP'd left-axing shadowblade baby. I have not really picked up online gaming since leaving DAoC (small stint in WoW). Would totally screw around in LoL or D3 with some friends, though. I think Bob will still check Deth Guild forums. Sabranic has gone MIA from Deth Guild boards for the past year+? Have no idea what happened to the guy.

My story is kind of similar, after DAoC played WoW for a short while. About a year ago tried Chronicles of the Spellborn (for about 2-3 weeks), looked like a really great game, pity it shut down. Haven't played anything since.
Haven't been to the Deth guild forums in forever, I don't think I have the link or remember my login information anymore! Man, I miss the early DAoC days with you and Bob!

Is that man still married? Maybe his wife is threatening him again?

Nice, I know the last time I talked to him years ago he had to disappear because of the old lady. So who knows.

From what I've gathered, HoN has followed in LoL's footsteps by making it f2p.....but rotating heroes as well. 
Might as well give LoL a try when I get back, that is if I can figure out how to install windows on my mac!

Dominion's almost out. They've been doing beta testing the last couple days and it is fun as hell.

My friend has been telling me that once people figure(d?) out how to play dominion (very defensively) it will get(got) a lot more boring. I watched a few games and it looked like a really interesting format, hopefully they can work out the balancing and make sure it stays exciting.

While it's true that most of the game is a battle over control of the top base and keeping them captured 3 to 2, the pace of the game is very fast and it never really becomes boring with the random capture quests mixing things up. It's also more difficult than your friend implies to defend one base for too long because dominion doesn't cater to support classes very well, meaning that after every fight you win most of the team is low on health. Because the pace is so quick you will be at a huge disadvantage when the next fight kicks in unless you blue pill, and if you do that you'll be out of position when the other team gets back and they will likely be able to capture on you.
I'm willing to bet your friend is not playing good champions to assault bases (the melee guys need a 2nd person to succeed), not using the minions, and not using garrison.
