What I'm getting at is that it only gets worse when you start playing ranked games :P

Surely ranked players are better so less prone to being fucking moronic?

Or try people who have 1 win in PvP games, who have levelled to 30 on AI games only, then jump straight into Ranked and then call everyone else bad while they go 0/4/0 with Morde solo top.

I do play HoN, but that's with my brothers and his friends. I don't see them too often, and I talk with most of you at least a few times a week; thus, LoL gains my favor.

You've got that backwards. The smart people play LoL not HoN. I can see how you'd get confused, since one is a shitty port of DotA and the other is a variant on DotA that's actually fun.

Because two games in the same genre can't both be good, it's impossible, right?

This is MafiaScum. It's like people have a recommended daily allowance of trollbait.

Annie and, in fact, most champions In general are easy enough to play that it's probably more important to look at general gameplay. In that vein, these should be good reading:

The Art of LoL (longest, but worth it)
Know Your Role: Teamplay
Things LVL 30s should know
10 Rules You May Not Have Heard
The Endgame

That's a fair amount, but it is probably 99% of what you'll need to read ever. Another good idea would be to take some replays and look over them, either yourself or by asking someone stronger.

Not in a fanboy thread, no. :P

Spoiler: Semi-long post explaining my HoN v LoL opinion
Really though, HoN is good. It's just not my cup of tea, and my personal opinion is that they tried to stay too close to DotA, while missing a huge opportunity to create something that they could call theirs. This is where (and why) I think Riot succeeded as well as they have. They have a game that, while in the same genre with many of the same mechanics, is somewhat unique.

I also think HoN killed themselves right off the bat by being $40 up front, when LoL launched free. While in the past year and a half, LoL has cost me well over $200, where HoN would have been $40, I still actively choose LoL, since it's an F2P game. HoN switching to F2P recently just looks exceptionally bad on them, since it looks like they are just desperate for players (which is likely true, HoN is going to take the biggest hit from DotA2, since the two are so similar)

And yeah, I suck at the whole "not feeding the troll" thing.

DotA 2 is probably going to be a good game. That makes two in the same genre. What's your point?

Thank you for that, bv.

I still think I will enjoy HoN more than dota as HoN will have a more fast-paced ganking meta. Maybe that will not be the case though as Na'Vi (dota 2 champs) beat those silly asian ricers with a heavy gank strat.
