I've played both games extensively and HoN is by far the much more superior game. It will live longer due to the fact that it will be supported by top DotA teams / players (it already is, Loda, Chu, and JohnnyUtah play it already).
If you want a game that holds your hand, doesn't involve much player skill at all, and revolves around ganking and turtle fests, then play League of Legends. That being said, League of Legends is a much easier game to pick up, but that's because it's a much, much, much simpler game than HoN. Also, alot of items / heroes are absolutely way overpowered.
HoN is a game that's very complex, has a terribly large learning curve, has a stupidly immature community. However, it is easily the more polished, the more complex, and the better game than League of Legends.Everything in HoN is better than League of Legends except community (and it doesn't lose by much anyways) and learning curve.
I mean, the fact that they removed denying in League of Legends should tell you that they tried to noobify the game and failed miserably.
