Win8 tablets will run on ARM.
I am not all that tech savvy so was wondering if HoN will run on ARM? Would be cool to watch replays on a tablet, I like watching replays.

I would guess it would be nothing more than recompile.
Would run like **** though. ARM CPUs and the mobile GPUs used in tablets are not very powerful.

It is question if windows 8 arm will emulate x86 architecture.

64-bit versions of Windows already do emulation like this with WoW64. When running on an Itanium 2, WoW64 emulates the x86 instruction set.
However, emulation doesn't come cheap which means that it is unlikely that games will run very well.

ARM is a far more restrictive instruction set than x86. It would require way more than a recompile.
