As I’ve posted many times on this blog, I’m a huge fan of DotA (Defense of the Ancients). It is only right that I suddenly become enamored with Heroes of Newerth (HoN), a game by S2Games currently in beta that matches the functionality of DotA and adds a layer of awesomeness on top.
I’ve played a number of games so far and have found one of my biggest hurdles is re-learning the heroes in HoN. Luckily, many of the heroes are simply ports of DotA heroes but learning who is who is also a slow process. Here are heroes in HoN with their DotA equivalents:

Kraken = Tidehunter
Scout = Mix of Gondar + Sniper
Electrician seems like a kind of tweaked Medusa, having Mana Shield and a spell that resembles Mystic Snake a lot. He’s a melee strength hero, though. His ulti is a buffed Purge, too.
arachna = drow

Magmus=Sand King
There’s a few hybrids.
Arachna’s got 2 abilities like drow, and one slightly similar to viper (ulti).
pestilence has some gondar in him (ulti).
there’s probably more.

Dan,Pestilence does not have gondar in it,slardar’s ultimate always worked that way (track&5/10/15 armor penalty).
