Obvious picks have their sources from streams , people getting brainwashed but still who cares , let them pick something "obvious" still you can pick something not famous like the others and roflstomp them , everyone is useful.

till one day Guardsman Bob used him for solo lane top and since then he is solo lane new fashion , everyone copying this idea. That steals the attraction from the other heroes and it is getting focused on a few only , for example Heimerdinger ain't used much that doesn't he is useless.

For example , Warwick was like only for jungle , nothing more and none tried him for anything else beyond that ,

LoL mechanics are too dumb downed for hardcore players who came from DotA. It's fine for people who are new to the genre, but it just doesn't have that same feeling of intense gameplay DotA had.
I play lol personally, though I'm not too good at it, but that's never been an issue, the people i'm matched with seem to be okay with the fact I'm a newbie. Some of them even give me advice on how to do better. Dota, well, those guys weren't as nice to me.

@Dean Ray Johnson: LoL players are too busy shitting on each other to shit on HoN.
Uh, there was just a LoL tournament at Dreamhack, and there was plenty of ganking. I mean, good LoL teams run a "jungler" in the early game specifically to have someone who can run early ganks.
Do LoL players shit on HoN as often as HoN players shit on LoL?

LoL fucking sucks. Ever watch a pro LoL tournament? It's literally 30 minutes of farming, and after 40 min, there MIGHT be 10 kills total. That's right, in 40 minutes, you will have a total of 10 kills throughout the game. Watch any HoN or DotA game and you will get non stop ganking and action.

I bet you love LoL joao, you just looooove easy and boring shit.
The difference between HoN's and LoL's art styles is sort of like the difference between a Tom Clancy FPS and Team Fortress 2. Some people like their games dark and serious, some like them a bit cartoony and lighthearted. LoL's art is a little goofy and based on characters, and I kinda like that.
@ Everyone <Learn 2 Get along.> Accept both your games are knockoffs of DOTA and get along.

[url=#user_comment_66682]@Spike36[/url] I call bullshit. If you check out any other games made by S2, you'd see that they're similar in artstyle. LoL has a much more cell-shaded aesthetics than HoN. I wouldn't call that creative and from my perspective, it looks more like warcraft 3 than HoN does.

[url=#user_comment_66678]@Devourer[/url]: HoN has an art style? That's strange. I thought they just copy pasta'd Warcraft 3 models and just made them bloom more and mad them more shiny. Oh wait... they did.

HoN and LoL are both good games. Anybody who tries to tell you one of them isn't is kind of retarded. But, they ARE very different. You can say one of them doesn't work for you, for example I prefer HoN's art style more, but both are well-made and maintained by professionals that love them.

I have tried both HoN and LoL; I can honestly say LoL is not only a better game, but along side the great Dev's who actually give a shit about their community (Looking at you HoN), the gamers of LoL arn't thw worst bunch in the universe.

I know. Learning Dota/HoN is not for everyone. I had an easy time learning it alone because I play a few sims (Digital Combat Simulator, Silent Hunter, T-72...).
So just like a sim, I took about 8 hours learning HoN (wiki, vods, replays, guides) before playing the first game.

HoN has quite possibly the worst community of any game ever created. It makes WoW look like a Nelson Mandella clone convention in comparison.
The only reason for anyone to start playing it now is if you hate yourself and want to be punished for living.

LoL..... Not quite AS bad as HoN, in my experience, but they're the same out of game as they are in, just about.
If I were to recommend one to start with, I would say LoL. F2P and a community that, in my experience, has the most (still only a handful) people willing to help newbies learn.

LoL, HoN, DotA... take your pick, all of their communities are harsh on newbies.
Undeniably, DotA is the worst. Unless you've been playing since day one, most people don't want you in their game.

That's funny, because I played DotA for the first time yesterday (in prep for dota2). I had some LoL so I thought I would be ok joining an online game straight off the bat, right? Right? Bleh. I have never encountered a more hostile, elitist gaming community in my life.

But that's the problem, unless you have people who are willing to help you learn it, you're stuck blindly (or half blind if you've looked up something that MIGHT help) learning it yourself and being griefed by your own teammates. I'd play more if I knew more people who played it.
