For whatever reason, the HoN matchmaking does not seem to be set up ideally. In games like Halo, you will constantly be automatically moved around to different groups of people until you find a full group. Heroes of Newerth has you join a random single group, then sit there until enough players happen to also join that group randomly. You may need to do this up to 5 times in a row, all very quickly.
The multiplayer session-based action game Heroes of Newerth is now free to download and play. The change is designed to attract additional players and expand the HoN community. It also may be a very smart move as free-to-play games based on microtransactions are beginning to topple monthly fee payment systems. To facilitate the changes, the game has incorporated a three-tiered player system and, initially, will keep new players and veterans in separate matchmaking, which developer S2 Games hopes to keep games balanced while the new players are learning the game. Existing accounts will be upgraded to Legacy accounts, which offers them free and unlimited use of any of the game's heroes. New accounts will begin as Basic accounts, which will have access to a rotating selection of 15 heroes and matchmaking with other Basic level accounts.
