So what do you think will happen to HoN when DotA 2 comes out ? will the players base drop ? will most people merge to DotA 2 ? will they swap from HoN to LoL because of the player base? i think HoN is a great game but im not sure if its going to last when DotA 2 comes out. Whats your thoughts?

It was all a dream. I used to read word up magazine.

This talk has been going on for ages and that's all it has been...talk.

Dota 2 will most likely have players that merge from Dota, LoL & HoN.

HoN will still have a strong player base, you might find after people try Dota 2 they go back to HoN. The slow game play, the gfx and other differences between this and HoN are essentially two different game play styles.

I don't like dota 2 purely because of the graphics. Everything is too small for me so i'll be staying with hon.

Some people will go, but I don't think it will have the profound effect people suppose it will. In its current state I don't think it's able to compete with HoN on the level people expect it to.

I've been playing it for a while now and I still find myself playing HoN more.
