Sandboxie and VAC

HoN was never broken, not when I played it years and years ago. It was never a mess that needed fixing, that's one of the best things about it, it worked great, always, they constantly buff and nerf heroes as needed (one thing I hate about HoN though is that it's heroes are nerfed more than Dota heroes, thus in comparison to their counterparts, are weaker, but that's just one of the few existing problems luckily.)

All I know is that the company S2 (more like $2), split into two, Frostburn owns HoN and updates it and maintains it as usual with no bad changes in development, everything is still moving in a good pace, while the other half, S2 created their own free moba called Strife on steam (which is not bad at all by the way), and are currently publishing a work in progress 3rd person shooter RTS kind of game on steam that you can play. No idea what hero youre talking about, during my gameplay there was no broken hero, sometimes hero abilities were possibly too strong, I don't know, but they constantly nerf and buff like I said, they take balance very seriously and don't care about your fun ( RIP Deadwood and Keeper of the Forest and Matyr and more). There was no drama for me because I played the game, not spent time in forums, which I by the way can't comment in, another thing I hate.

A while ago? 3 years? About the same time ago that I was forced to stop playing it. Guess I enjoyed the game too much to pay attention to "broken" heroes and drama apparently. 3 years is too long man, you should realy return to HoN, it's better than Dota in many many ways that I can mention and it's still kicking despite people being trolls and constantly saying it's dead even though it isn't, not even close to death. Saddly I cant play it, Vain Glory will have to do as usual... Oh and if you want to tickle your interest for HoN more or just watch good plays, check out scumbagnetwork for top 5 best HoN plays, their realy good...alot of times. http://youtu.be/2QxCoaI5CnQ

To teach how to play to my brother.

You ever mentioned why you despise them? Non FPS lovers seem to enjoy Overwatch and. CS1.6. CSS and Tactical Intervention are all good games, there are maps where you can drive cars, play zombie mode ( good old times of my teenagehood) and some other unique modes and maps to take part in, not your usual bread and butter or the standard generic fps modes.
