Heroes of Newerth, usually shortened to HoN, was a multiplayer online battle arena game released by S2 Games in 2010 as a standalone follow-up to the Defense of the Ancients mod. Its in-game announcer called out key moments, and the flat 'game over' line marked the end of every match. After the game's servers closed in 2022, former players kept its sounds alive in montages, streams and meme edits, and the game-over sting survives on soundboards as a quick, nostalgic way to declare a defeat.
