malas to read all the other comments LOL!
i played 3 Corridors Vanilla, then the dunno wat crazy 3 corridors variation with all sort of super heroes came out which i think was retarded, and then started playing Dota 5.8x before 5.84c reigned for a long time.
and indeed i did play Dota for a very long time. most active was when flying spaghetti monster was still around. when they switch over to gayrena, i only played a few times before quitting it for good. reason is because i can't stand the mentality of the players there which most of u, if not all, already know about it.
the usual being ragequitting after 2-3 deaths. or ragequit after they decided that they are losing. or some genuine ppl who got disconnected because of streamyx or other legitimate reason but regardless of how much they want to get back in n play, they couldn't because of the game engine limitation.
so then later my friend introduced me to HoN. after playing it, finish man. the PSR, stats, Leaver % points and ability to reconnect back after getting disconnected really pulls me back. the graphics and built-in customizable shortcut keys is pretty awesome as well although at first the graphics was really confusing at first, i don't even know what's happening during clash, all i know is i right click away n spamming my spell shortcuts until the peak battle is over just to realized that i was dead from the beginning.
right now i'm still playing HoN every single night with my friends and sometimes alone eventhough i have Dota 2 beta sitting on my steam.
reason for that is because Dota 2 pretty much still have those ragequitting players. there is ragequitters at HoN also but not so often.
maybe because i didn't play any private games yet with LYN peeps.
Dota 2's graphics in comparison to HoN's, i somehow prefer HoN's. and the camera angle of HoN gives me more view compared to Dota 2 that tries to follow Dota or Warcraft 3's as much as possible.
I will have to say HoN is the better game for me right now until Dota 2 progresses nearer towards launching, hopefully better. that's my take right now
on a side note, i have a love-hate relationship with the new heroes that HoN is releasing.
oh i forgot to mention about LoL, LOL!
i did played that game a bit, it's somewhat slower pace but it still gives me a nice feeling while playing it. just that i don't like the fact that i can't deny creeps and can't block them.
exactly bro i feel the same way too... wanna add that HoN's anti leaver system is awesome coz u leave 5 times = join public games for 35 times (i exp it bfore till i had to open a new acc coz i'm losing out on earning silver via matchmaking games). i played 3 Corridors Vanilla, then the dunno wat crazy 3 corridors variation with all sort of super heroes came out which i think was retarded, and then started playing Dota 5.8x before 5.84c reigned for a long time.

HoN has build in guides too at the store - if you're noob about a hero you can read and purchase items straight from a high rated guide! - awesome! i dont have to flip the stores thinking hard about items when hints are there! I dont follow guide 100% i still craft out my own playstyle if i disagree bout something.
then there's the middle secret shop store in Dota 2 - they still follow Dota 1's format u have to walk thr to purchase certain items like m.reaver or soulstone. HoN went away with it allowing you to buy all items at the Fountain's store. Wayy more convenient rather than travelling all the way there.
And also the shortcut keys for items - i cant believe Dota 2 didnt follow HoN's system of using shift + Q,W,E,R etc to cast stuffs from items. You still expect us to use numpad keys???? come on............
yest tested Dota 2 out end up my team 3-3 from 5-5.. coz 2 leavers on each side. Zzzz .
I guess i will be a casual player on Dota 2 when my friends ask me for it - but will be more serious for HoN. Dota 2 still needs alot of polishing and absorb all the goodies from MOBA's out there.. they cant keep following Dota 1's format only man...
LOL - dont even mention it, the matchmaking system sucks and doesnt follow your skill lvl - HoN has rating system and only pairs you to certain skill lvl players. Imagine having 5 pros pwning 5 noobs? U dont wanna see that often - this happens alot in LoL - esp in US servers. In Gayrena? I quit coz waited too long for a game... too few player base here (not sure about lvl 60 i started as lvl 1 in LoL - started questioning what's the need for runes, skill trees, summoner spell - wouldn't that spoil the feel of it being Dota-moba-like?)
That's my verdict for now.. will add more when i notice more.... 1 game not enough to judge 100% yet.
