just play it.
nice gfx. well only put on high models. cause on laptop.
other then that. i think it give a better feel of control. but still need to understand how to control.

HON did what dota cant with warcraft

Stats that records every single tibbit you did including leaver percentage which can be set when you are creating game on what percentage is allowed

Disconnected because of your internet? No worries connect right back in your game without any loss expect your time

Sick of the same map every single game? Create your own map! Or played with the available maps that they offer ( Currently 3 )

Well at least the pricetag will filter out dotards from Malaysia

I agree with you.
My favourite will be logs and stats.

How come bobo is talking about HoN ?

Anyway i've tried both games, and while i was expecting to like HoN more, and rushed to get the key and client for HoN more first,
I think i will be playing more of LoL as a start.

I loved the graphics and smoothness of HoN, but was also disappointed that they did not go all the way and make the content more unique.
80%? of heroes/items were copied from Dota ( probably not a bad thing for most, and anyway since dota has so many heroes, i guess it is hard to create a hero with spells that do not overlap )
Maybe actual release will have more new heroes ?

HoN
+ Graphics
+ Smooth gameplay
+ some nice new features like balancing etc..
+ very faithful to DoTa
- very faithful to Dota
- newbies to the genre are probably going to need counseling after playing a few games ( because of other players )
- Steep learning curve for non-dota players

LoL
+ some persistence though minimal.
+ more unique content
+ easier learning curve ( dunno what to buy?.. just look at recommended items! )
- graphics ( not a fan of the silverfall-like graphics )
- Why do they have to have the html-like interface for lobbies etc.. seems a bit slow to me, maybe + for some so they can IM,surf..etc... in between games.
- nothing to do with the game, but is it just me or do ppl hardly communicate in this game ?
- balance issues? ( all my attempts to play support heroes were total failures.. )
- no "deny"ing, i guess they have theyre reasons

Anyway this is just my opinion and i will still play both games

When you put it that way. They both are different in a good way.
Choosing one of them is hard.
But since LOL is kind of unbalance for me.

Give it time perhaps to iron out imbalances and bugs

I like both games HON and LOL. LOL is good for the newbies,they will learn step by step. But 4 HON is like an advance DOTA 2 me ^^

@FatalExe
What I mean is the map itself is free.

@gafun
Yes the recommendation item does help ,but only to newcomer\
Many experienced players dont really buy all their item from the recommendation list, they normally have their own build.

On the other hand, on the balance issue and I shall assumed you didnt read the development roadmap threads in the forum.

The developer are currently trying add new content to the game, perfect them, make every champion fun to play and remove bugs. After that they only will move on to solve the balance issues.

I have to agree that choosing one of them is hard since they have their own pros and cons. For me, I will pick LoL.

Anyone mind to spare me a beta key? Highly interested to try this out.

hai, i just won the beta key in http://qforq.gamerdna.com/images/BTobpyq/lol_ss11-jpg . Maybe you can apply it here.

AFAIK, LoL will be F2P with some cashshop thingo.
HoN is 30 bucks. Kinda steep.

After a few games.
I kind of confuse. Who is hosting?
And. I also confuse. That at the loading show my Ping 300MS+/-. But Ingame I get 100MS+/-

The games are hosted on the LoL server and not by player.

I just played LoL finally.. even tho i gotten beta key much earlier.. lol

Anyways, both games (HoN and LoL) has their pros and cons.

Both games i like oso.

But since LoL its F2P... heee... nuff 'said

Cheers

cheapskate!

At the end, the "F2P" factor will helps in lol.

for me, its hon! lol .. meh ...

I have to go with HoN on this one, since we in MY where internet is pffffffft

saw my friend played LoL, still prefer HoN

seems like LoL is more like an "inspired by dota" game like demigod compared to "advanced dota/dota 2.0" like HoN.

do not want!
