I bet it was because people were bored of LoL after playing it for 1-2 years. The LoL thread will probably go back up once they realize how hard the learning curve is and how fucked they are for not having a legacy account.
Tbh, I play LoL just as much as HoN. I like them both equally, and I get a craving to play each of them at different times of the day. Sometimes it's one, sometimes the other.
I've been playing League since last November, HoN since closed beta, and I'm getting bored of neither.
I guess you're right, though, HoN has a higher learning curve than League does, and I've already come across people that were astonished at the deny mechanic, and how much more you have to do in HoN.
