i've recently heard of HoN, more like now, and I've come to conclude that HoN copied Dota and just plainly stole the idea's from Dota and just made a rip off copy of every character/item in that game and even put a monthly fee on that game, hence the "HON VS. DOTA SIMILARITIES" page right on the homepage of the site. i admit that LoLz also created a game VERY similar to Dota, but thats because the original creators of Dota went on to create LoLz, and on the front of page of LoLz, it says Dota & LoLz, as opposed to "DOTA VS LOLZ". Discuss.

there's no monthly fee... and the original owner of dota also gave ''his help'' to make HoN.


HoN is for people over 9 years age, lol is for under.

So is this post just a rant? Or am I suppose to take something out of this other than "I'm too poor to pay the 30 dollars, therefore lol > hon"

made by the same people basically

idk i kinda like LoL better because its more noob friendly and doesnt take 10 minutes to find a game but HoN's graphics are 100% better then LoL's

not rlly booth graphics are horrible hon map sucks only champs have neon shit on them lol^^

HoN and LoL are very different interpretations of the same idea.

Similar concepts :
3 lanes
5vs5
heroes have regular skills, and one ultimate skill.
Items can drastically change the intent of the character.
both games have similar character archtypes ; Carry, tank, ganker, nuker, pusher, etc.
Both have similar strategies.

HoN exclusive :
Denying creeps ; killing your own to 'deny' the enemy experience and gold
many familiar characters from DotA
Ultimate creep is Kongor ; He drops a 10 minute token that allows the user to revive when killed

LoL exclusive :
Certain creeps can give buffs with killed (dragon + golem + ultimate monster)
LoL introduces Ability power ; this allows casters to scale better
LoL does not contain denying or creep blocking ; thus lessening the gap between melee and ranged characters (as cited by their website)

Ultimately, it's preference ; I noticed that people on HoN tend to be more competitive ; and I do prefer it. However, LoL is not bad by any means.

heard of options?

anyway, the whole point of HoN was to copy dota so i dont understand the point of this thread.

In relation to what game does hons gfx suck because I have a friend I play hon with who works makeing grapics for warner brothers studios and he keeps talking about how amazing hon'e gfx are which makes me wonder what your comparing them too. That way I'll be educated.
