Most would disagree with you.

Eh, trust me iv played enough LoL to understand whats good about it. But it's no where near as good as HoN
Simple reasons being.
-Graphics look just... way to maple story with flaming pixie dust sprinkled on top of it, that's just me though, I prefer blood and guts when something dies on my game.
-Player base... LOL's player base is 13-17 year olds that are stuck on the latest Internet meme or trend. The worst you get on HoN is someone from EU who speaks the same English as most Americans sadly
-The map is half the size of HoN's.
-The vision trees have make for wayyy better game play then bushes.
-Monkey courier.
-Ability items are no existent in LOL
-Taunts, Announcers and novelty on hon... LOL - An Enemy has been slain. On HoN you have such varity in everything you do.
-Heroes are now all free on HON enough said.
-When you die you lose gold. I don't see why LoL baby sits bads.
-You can deny creep and towers preventing XP and Gold..
-New Hero Weekly.
-The devs care about the community, they are constantly hosting trivia for prizes in general chat, playing with the player base every Friday, or hosting events.
-To much to say, they are different games... I was just letting everyone know the heroes are now free to play
I'm going to second this, and since you seem to want to make this into a HoN vs LoL vs Dota 2 thread im going to say this has been hashed out over and over.
People will have their own flavor, and you are entitled to enjoy HoN, but it by no means makes it a better game. It's an argument that is akin to BF3 vs MW3. As for your argument that HoN is better than DOTA 2, i quit HoN far before it became FTP, and it was namely because of the community. When you even have csr's smack talking players on the forums you can't expect anything good to come from that.
I am now playing Dota 2, and find it to fit my taste far better than HoN. I play LoL on occasion too.

Obviously they're preparing for DOTA2 launch. I wish them best luck, but care very little.
Why are you even bothering, these forums, or should i say every gaming forum is filled with LoL players, i have played both LoL, Dota2 and HoN, and i prefer HoN for the simple reasons like, smoother gameplay, and faster gameplay.
Also just because the game is not as popular as LoL or Dota2, doesn't mean its inferior.
I've played all 3, I personally prefer HoN myself as well, however, I have to support the LoL players here that are saying that your reasons for saying HoN is better are strictly subjective or lack data to back themselves up which I *KNOW* that you do not have access to (Age of average player in each game).
That said, I don't use HoN forums and I hadn't heard about this until now so thanks for the update I guess?

You're just jealous because the voices are talking to me!

That's nail in the coffin for me. I've tried HoN ever since it was in beta and never could quite click with it (I'm a sucker for cartoony/cell shaded graphics to begin with). I haven't seen such blatant unprofessional asshole"ism" out of a staff member in a very long time from any company. I especially feel bad for the companies sake seeing as HoN has been in LoL's shadow for a very long time in terms of number of players and MLG presence, and it only strengthens LoL's presence with such comments like that. I never like to see indy/small companies fall and belittle themselves due to influences like this, it's really saddening.
I would kill to be able to talk to users/players like that S2 guy did.
I'd be surprised if he still has a job.
Or maybe I wouldn't, seems like common practice.

The thread that was linked is hilarious! The amount of bending over backwards in that thread is painful to watch. Also, it's surprising that the employees are worse than the other posters in the thread. What a wonderful community.

Yeah, playing HoN before it became F2P, it became hell after a while. The community was shit, customer service was shit, etc. Never played LoL, just because I don't like the taste of it for many reasons. Graphics, gameplay changes from originial DotA, etc. Obviously, DotA2 feels the most like original DotA, which is what I loved.
I agree with the poster that said this is too little too late. They are trying to save a dying game because DotA2 is going to be launching in the coming months. Hell, the original decision to make you pay for certain heroes pissed me off. Such a bad business model for a game, IMO. Why should my gameplay experience be based on how much I'm willing to play? Especially if the hero isn't completely 100% balanced when he's released. This happened for almost every hero they released while I was playing from HoN Beta for the 6 months or so afterwards, IIRC.
So, leaving LoL out of it because I have no experience with the game because I am uninterested in it, I would say DotA2 > HoN, even in its beta stages. Yeah, it has its problems (lack of concede, vote kicks, etc) but it is in beta, and systems like this are being added.
Care to give me some actual backing to that? There isn't a single hero in LoL that is a port from DotA, and I'm not talking things like an ability here and there being similar (ie, Pudge/Blitzcrank grab). When I say HoN ports heroes, I mean at least 3 abilities, or the entire skillset, are exactly the same as their DotA counterparts sans names (ie, Kunka/Gladiator, Pudge/Defiler, Axe/Legionare.).
So, given that, what hero in LoL is a port from DotA? Better yet, how about you actually give quotes that are the same instead of just saying that they are?
