The only aspect that HoN is better in DotA is graphics. Only pubbies think HoN has better gameplay than DotA.

Then you don't play competitive DotA. Balance is skewed/non-existent in pubs where there's no strategy, teamwork, synergy, etc. Pubbies think heroes like Troll and PA are imba, when truthfully they're quite crappy in the current metagame. If all you do is pub, there's no balance to consider in the first place. As such, there's no room for pubbies to comment on balance.

If a game is meant to be played only by pros and the only way to achieve some balance is in game with pros or somethin' like that it's fail game ffs.
I'm no pro but i'm no noob either in dota or hon, just casual and i found out that hon PUBS are more balanced then dota pubs.

If dota is only balanced while playin with pros it's really fail, because it should be balanced while with pros and casuals/noobs whatever..

You don't seem to understand. A game like DotA isn't NOT balanced for pubs. It CAN'T be balanced for pubs. DotA is a team game, where heroes are balanced based on their roles in the team. Pubs are virtually void of any kind of strategy, teamwork, synergy, or anything resembling what we call a "metagame." Pubs are 5 people picking whatever they feel like playing and farming until they have enough items to kill people. There's no balancing that because there's nothing to balance.

HoN is not more balanced in DotA in pubs, and DotA is not more balanced than HoN in pubs, because balance doesn't exist. As far as pubs go, HoN is just a better looking DotA with fewer heroes. And even in that sense, fewer heroes makes pubs boring, so even in pubs HoN is less than DotA. Also, your reasoning is quite poor. Strategy games are, and should be, balanced around gameplay that actually makes use of strategy. Team games are, and should be, balanced around actual team work. DotA is a team strategy game.

zerok rofl @ the statement "hon more balanced than dota" - Then I hope you realize that feedback works on ranged images (obscenely broken), orbs stack, and they take changes straight out of dota's changelogs.

HoN would be a fun game if it wasn't full of noob dota rejects and dumbasses
