Heroes of Newerth is currently in beta being developed by S2 Games (Savage:The Battle for Newerth,Savage 2: A Tortured Soul). It is based off the popular custom Warcraft 3 map Defense of the Ancients by IceFrog, with various improvements such as VoIP support, Reconnection capabilities allowing you to rejoin a game if you get disconnected, Stat tracking for each game you play, Leaver protection and more.
It's a huge improvement over the limited Warcraft 3 engine which is dated now, but it still retains loyalty to DotA with all characters being direct imports with the exception of art/names etc. S2 has also been very reliable in patching and fixes, so bugs do not last long at all with updates being consistent.
Currently, HoN is pre-orderable at the price of $30 and can be downloaded here
Here's the first video of gameplay highlighting the new features of the game
