The two teams are stationed at the opposite ends of the map from where they progress towards each other through buildings, creep spawns, a hero spawning pool and a central structure.

In Heroes of Newerth, players form two teams-called the Legion and the Hellbourne-picking a hero for each member from more than 125 available in the roster, and battle it out against each other suing the skills and perks unique to each hero. Like so many of today’s most popular MOBAs, Heroes of Newerth was an idea that was derived from the custom-made mod map called Defense of the Ancients (DotA) from the highly-revered game Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. The development team that worked on Heroes of Newerth transferred to Frostburn Studios on May 5, 2015, and further development to the game has been added from that company. At first, S2 Games released the game as paid, but a year later on July 29, 2011, it was rereleased as a free-to-play (FTP) game. Heroes of Newerth is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) video game developed by studio S2 Games for Microsoft Windows, Linux and MacOS platforms, and was originally released on these platforms on May 12, 2010.
