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!

Yes but if you already had a hon account before they went f2p you have access to all of the content

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.
