Welcome.
HoN is a game based on DotA (Defence of the Ancients), where two teams battle it out to destroy each others bases, the main goal is to kill the oppositions shrine, this will end the game. However, the enemy team have the ability to concede the game after 15 minutes, if it's going that badly. The basics can be found in the ingame tutorial and the tutorials on youtube can be helpful too.

You can buy the game at the moment for $10 compared to the normal $20.
Overall, it's a great game to play with friends, although you may struggle at the start, eventually you will grasp the basics of the game with the help of friends. The world of Newerth is your oyster!
Have fun.
