So what do others think of the 2.0 patch? Interesting to see a map editor added to the game with the goal of the best community maps/systems being added into a full patch later on. Could provide us with the next evolution in the genere much like WC3 -> DotA came from the community. I don't mind the virtual shop they added either, looking forward to grabbing the ms. pudding voice over. hehehe. I like now nothing in the shop affects the actual game play (unlike LoL where you see lots of heroes that are currently on rotation, etc, because people aren't going to buy what is free).

Interested in where S2 takes HoN over the next year. They have a great track record of community upkeep.
