HoN is better than dota by far for me. A shit load of dota heroes have 2 to 3 passives which make them extremely boring. In HoN, it's very rare to see a hero with more than 1 passive ability (I also consider orbs toggling passives).

There's also a lot of outdated mechanics in dota. Blackness (gotta explore map to put a ward/blink), stuck in terrain (which also disable 2 heroes from being allowed to purchase blink dagger), wards can only bought in sets of 2, orbs effects can't be chosen easily, multiple secondary effects from a skill require a totally different hotkey (ie, puck's orb need a key to be thrown and a different key to teleport to the orb). This is just to name a few of them.

LoL is pure garbage though, anything is better than that.

Oh yeah, just to edit, HoN Staff is also the worst staff ever. Lately, the only thing they can do is piss off the customer base by putting ridiculously overpriced stuff instead of fixing broken/bugged stuff.

You dont have to explore the map to blink there
HoN's way of solving the terrain-stuck thingy is even worse, so easy to abuse to your own advantage.
Have two keybinds for the orb is only a good thing, that way you can't teleport to the orb by mistake when stunned and using the orb so you cast it when you're out of the stun.

what are some examples then? the heroes?

Yes you do.

Aside from a few select exception, it's much better than landing in the trees with potm and being stuck there. It also allow pudge and vengeful spirit to buy blink daggers.

The fact that spells can be queued to be cast right out of a stun is a problem in itself.

I played furion 2 hours ago, I can teleport where I want on the map without exploring. I can also blink wherever I want without exploring.



Don't leap into the trees then???? Also, just get force staff if you want to grief with pudge and venge.

HoN is easily better than every MOBA out there.

Dota2 >> all

HoN has a few things its better in, but in the end Dota2 wins and will take over

Every Decent hon player has this same opinion. /Thread

2-3k hon games here

dota2 >

Can't say much for LoL, only played 30 games. I don't see many good players (notice, good players) who has a lot of experience with both games that think hon is better.






And wtf with those who think dota2 is a ricefest, have you guys seen dota2? You guys know the metagame? It's not ricing.



edit: And no, you don't have to explore to blink/tp. Not anymore.

dota2 feels like totally different game for some reason
mostly because the map seems so different, way more tight and smaller somehow
