League of Legends or Heroes of Newerth?

League of Legends or Heroes of Newerth?
They both are shitty games and on top of it a rip off of DOTA but I still wanna see what people prefer.

[CamperStrike]

Well, for one, LoL is free and HoN isn't, so that makes people think "oooh because it's paid it must be better", but I think it's quite true. I've only played LoL and only once, but I got a lot of friends who do play both, and I've watched many gameplay videos.

From what I can tell (and from what has been told to me), HoN has a better matchmaking system, a decent anti-leaver system, a better anti-lag system, better community, and some other minor stuff. But then again, I've never played it so can't confirm it.
About LoL, well I've only played it once in a very short tutorial, and it was actually pretty decent for a DotA clone. Don't know about multiplayer.

Bottom line, I think both are very similar. But IMO, if you like that kind of game, just buy yourself a copy of WC3:FT and play DotA on bnet. The community is still alive, so theres many rooms to join.

Lol
>more champions

>free
>somewhat unbalanced and kinda casual, just like Guinsoo(?)'s Dota was
>a free game that doesn't have lots of shitty money benefits (unless you are going to get buttmad over a bunch of cosmetic skins)
>has a very different style of play from Dota

>HoN
>some game made by a random developer to cash in on the popularity of Mobas

you prove me wrong.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

You've got to be fucking kidding me.

1) HoN's matchmaking is fucking STUPID. It's broken in so many ways. There's no balance. You'll always have either 2-3 pros, or 2-3 noobs on your team. It's always fluctuating. Unlike in LoL, with the "ELO-MATCHMAKING SYSTEM".  You've obviously never played both games if you think HoN has a better match-making system.

2) HoN increases your "Leaver-level" to raise player awareness about your tendency. LoL has a system called "Leave-Buster" which fucking auto-bans your ass if you're leaving too many games. Ban > Awareness

3) Anti-lag? What the fuck?

4) A BETTER COMMUNITY, HAHAHA. HoN's community is comprised of absolutely, frothing-from-the-mouth retarded fucking kids with down-syndrome. LoL has less mexicans/brazilians.

5) HoN has better graphics, I'll give you that. But do you really want to buy a game for better graphics? Really? How about this; suck me off and I'll give you a real fucking 3D cumshot, with "SUPERIOR GRAPHICS" to the low-quality gay-porn you nut off to.



Just about everything in HoN is broken. From the match-making to the champs. There are OP CHAMPS and there are abysmal champs who are just useless champs. HoN devs take fucking months to patch this shit, and don't even tell their players what the hell they're changing and why. They just patch it and expect people to like the changes. RIOT (LoL) listens to their community and makes rational changes based on that feedback. If you want better graphics, fine; go ahead and play Honkies of Nerdf*gville. 

LoL > HoN


Also, DotA is fucking shit compared to League of Legends. They took DotA kicked it in the balls and made it better. LoL has superior graphics to DotA, better (AND BALANCED) champions, better MAPS, better fucking everything.

LoL > DotA


Do your homework before you badmouth one of the most popular games to date, hipsters.

I think both games are good(but boring now). I own HoN but stopped playing (after getting 1700 psr) and LoL is extremely unbalanced (I'm a lvl 30 who has played since closed beta). I put the () for proof that I have played both a good deal.

HoN
Pros:
1. TRUE dota clone as they claim. Even has many of the same heroes with some new ones.
2. All heroes are available to all players
3. Allows plug-ins and mods
Cons:
1. Matchmaking is subpar (it has gotten better)
(Paying for a game is not a downside)

HoN is a great dota clone but offers very little of it's own. It does feel like playing dota allstars again without all the problems of B.net. Being able to use any hero without buying or grinding (IP) is always good to promote balance. I always will be a fan of mods, especially GUI editors and hotkeys.
The MM system isn't great but I really didn't have much of a problem near the end of my play. It generally took 1-3 minutes to find a match, which isn't good but not terrible as it originally was.
The community is really harsh, which drives many people away.

LoL
Pros:
1. Fast Matchmaking
2. Good for beginners
Cons:
1. Heroes must be bought.
2. Rune, Summoner Spells, etc
2. Shit for balancing

LoL is for casual gamers. It has a noob-friend community for the most part. I really don't find much good about LoL, it subpar IMO.

It has fast match making (which often pairs a team of lvl 30's with a team of 23-27's). In a game where level determines the amount of extra things you start with, those levels mean little but it's still an imbalance. Which is the next problem: the shop with in-game money is a great way to feign balance. Two lvl 30's can go against each other, but it depends on who has what champ (there is no way to reach level 30 and own all of the champions without using real money). I won't keep rambling about how shitty Riot is at balancing but ask me if you want to know (I've a lot to say on the matter.)



To correct Ghast's rage: Leaves are taken more seriously in HoN because you will be barred from MM with 8-10% leaves. LoL will allow you to keep leaving until you hit about the 25% mark. (I've seen people in ranked games have 75 leaves and 250 wins. (I know this doesn't factor in losses but you think he stayed around to loose over 500 games?) Ghast, you ever play HoN or you just ranting because of things you heard?

I hope your aren't calling Mexicans and Brazilians  "Frothing from the mouth retarded fucking kids with down-syndrome

[squeak]

I prefer LoL.

[Leomire]

As one person who plays both games often, I'd have to say HoN is much better than LoL.

HoN's Matchmaking system is ok, the only downfall of it is the community isn't giant like LoL so we cant have 10 seconds ques and stuff. HoN's Heros are much more balanced than in LoL, as I have my friend who plays Jax and can tank and destroy a whole team at lvl 15 because his hero is op. LoL when "balancing" heros usually nerfs them to the point you can't really even use the hero as well. I believe LoL to be much more slower paced and too forgiving to players who die and feed the enemy team. When a player dies in HoN not only does he give the enemy team gold, but the player who died loses gold as well. Making the game much harder (and fun imo).

LoL does not give all the champions from the start which is absolutely fucking retarded. Why the hell would i want to play a different set of heros each week then eventually buy them for use. The Runes and talents thing is stupid as well as it breaks the game even more as lvl 30 people have a huge tactical advantage over the lower levels if they get put in a match together.

Personally HoN is way better than LoL. But its more up to you than anything

You know... Like I've stated in my first post, I've never played either, so I can't argue with you. so tl;dr

And I still think DotA is better. 

[Guvnuh]

I can't actually believe how MAD people are getting because somebody likes one videogame over the other. State your opinion, and don't be a dick about it. It can't be that hard.

LOL, I'll be whatever the fuck I want.

Y U CRYING ABOUT IT?


My opinion remains.

[Boonana]

Both.

HoN is way more srs bsnss. ( As some people call it. )

LoL is more of a casual game, unless your a hardcore ranked **** like myself.  Jungle jaravan ftw. 


I've played both of them to literal hell. ( Over 500 games in each of them ) and LoL is way better. wayyyyy better.

\o

Also bumping this thread, Cause you should all add me at Boonana so we can play LoL.

[Finniespin]

Never seen HoN. Still would pay, so that my ass gets kicked.

Buying champs for IP is just a good thing. It just pushes players to play the game longer and experience somewhat euforia when they buy a new champion. IMO I play games to challenge myself. Can I reach this level.

Sometimes bagging ;p but hey that's what we all dit in our childhood.

Never seen Dota before aswell.

I always go with the best game community. LoL community is mostly shit. For instance yesterday had a @$$hole letting me die (teammate) to steal 2 freaking kills.

And when I stole his kill he started QQ. Also when he died he commanded everyone to fall back. Want to know why? Because he thought I was a noob. And he was the pro.

>It was co-op vs Bots beginner

[meow]

Well, for one, LoL is free and HoN isn't, so that makes people think "oooh because it's paid it must be better", but I think it's quite true.

-IMBALANCED CHAMPS
-less srs


yeah idk. idc. cause everyone who plays it gets too serious and it ruins lives. lets just go play omgpop.

[Coreybush11]

I like League of Legends. For the simple reason I have never played HoN, and don't intend to, because everyone that I play with (with exceptions) fit the same category that what I have heard the player base of HoN is. Whiney, bitchy, penises.
