Does anybody play these games? They are basically newer, prettier versions of DotA. They're all in closed beta so I can't post any screenies. Their facebook pages should have some though.

I have a beta key for Heroes of Newerth, and it's basically DotA. The items are all DotA items with new art and stuff. The Champions are all DotA hero remakes. The overwhelming amount of choices in champions and heroes make it a not very newb friendly game. Either way, it's still fun if you have a good team and it supports in game VoIP. There are still around 31k invites available as of this post from this facebook promotion.

League of Legends I haven't played yet but my friend has it and says it's pretty fun.

I've been in the HoN beta for awhile, but I still fail at it.

The most success I've had so far was with the SoulStealer and Legionnaire.

Signing up for HoN now. You should try Savage 2 if you haven't already.

It's pretty fun. The problem is that the teams I get on always fail hard.We should make a group to pwn people. I'm alright at it. I play Antimage/Magebane and Chronos.

I'll look at Savage 2 but between TF2, this and maybe LoL, there definitely wont be any time. I still have to finish prototype and Medieval total war 2.

It's probably the closest thing to 1st person DoTA and is made by the people that made HoN. A much better game IMO.

Many more players on a team and two people play it as a RTS. Also, basic accounts are free now.

Ever play DoTA? Aside from graphics and a few other small changes it's almost identical. Also, if you have never played DoTA you will most likely be consistently destroyed.

League of legends is basically a more cartoony version of HoN. It has completely new characters and items but the graphics are not as pretty. It has no anti aliasing and I would say it needs a bit more polish to the graphics.

Also, I have a couple of invites to HoN.

EDIT: League of Legends also is more Battlefield Heroes ish. It has a client that launches that lets you find games and when you go into one the fullscreen one displays.
