Actually, I like HON Extreme better.
The reason I never played the HON LAN although I was interested was I did not have anyone to play it with.
I mean, I have friends but we can't reach 5v5 all the time.
So finding players to play with was my problem, and HON Extreme solved that.
The LAN version I tried (but there have been lots of amazing updates now) was very buggy and it used really old skill sets which turned me off.
Like, scout skills, far from retail, then there was bubbles, totally not working skills.
I thought, I cannot play a game like this, with even 2 heroes I tried, so buggy. Sorry Sordit. :(
Admittedly, the new heroes (or rather, newly ported DOTA heroes) in HON Extreme are very OP.
Boom, Altair, Demic, Ice Titan in that order. Others need more skills to play but still powerful like Paradox, Drakoni, Derlok, MethaClaker, Metal Colossus. They will/are removed in the next patch though, testament to their game brokenness.
I might give the LAN version another try, see how it has improved.
Cheers guys and more power.
