If you were a fan of DOTA, you're gonna love HoN.

I have to say that DotA >>>> HoN

HoN has a better game lobby as in dota you have to use the web or irc to set up good games but gameplay is not even close, better then LoL tho

Only really good thing about LoL/HoN is that it brought a new flame to DotA, ie "Go play LoL noobtard"

I haven't actually played LoL but I've heard a lot of bad things about it compared to HoN. But I pretty much love HoN for the time being.

Hon is a very good game, it's very balanced in comparison to LoL. Their is also a lot of feedback to players from the devs.

I don't actually read the forums but I've heard that the devs can be dicks to people.

I think the cases that I've seen where this has been true the player has been pretty deserving. Like a hardcore troll or something along those lines, not sure.

Oh, well at least they were deserving of it. I hope they fix Ophelia she's stupidly overpowered right now.

I prefer LoL over HoN. Basically because I started with LoL, and just watched vids and read articles about HoN.

Anyway LoL appeals to the not so hardcore or even totally new players to the MOBA genre. It's not as unbalanced as many wants you to believe, but there are a few champs which have a difficult time keeping up.

But there's just now been a big patch released which fixes a few things to make it more balanced. Played about 3 games this evening, and I have to say they've done a good job. Although my fav champ from WAY back feels kinda OP. On the other hand he's easy to counter if you know how.

As for the community in LoL. The devs isn't up to par imo on communicating with their consumers. Also (and no racism intended) they seem to favor the US a lot more than EU. However that's also to some extent been remidied lately. Still the US forums see more activity from mods overall than other regions.

The people themselves are not much different from any other MOBA community. Trash talking self rightous bastards (no offence). It's perhaps among the worst gaming communities I've ever encountered. However find some nice friendly people to befriend, and LoL (and HoN too I'm sure) is a blast.
