so which one is better?
league of legends !!
and it's free XD
HoN !! coz its free!! well for SEA Version (SOON)
WHY WHY did you start the flame war again and as much as people will flame this is all about opinion and you should just try them both for yourself and see which one you like. I personally only prefer LoL because its free besides that to me the games are almost exactly the same but HoN is a little harder to get used to and its B2P
i don't know why my comp lag alot in lol and works fully in hon, but hon just went retail so lol is better
YES! THIS THREAD AGAIN!
HoN>LoL
loads of +1 ^^
And the BATTLE RAGES ON.
I like both but prefer LoL for it's Noobtastic style of gameplay (:p). I'd probably play HoN more if I was better at it.
But seriously, lets not start a flame war. o-o
played both HoN and LoL
They're both pretty good, but I'd have to give the edge to LoL.
Voted for LoL. For me it goes down to how good community is (both games have their gameplay + and - )...Hon was always filled with pseudo pros screaming at you, when your team loses like its a big deal. Not noob friendly and with retail its even worse now...In LoL ppl atleast try to help newbs, joke, speak and losing isnt a problem, just its smthing to learn from, bg is bg (well, I just didn't met rude players mby..)...So in short, HoN -> if you have friends to play with , Lol -> you can solo freely, ask help from ppl, but with friends its even more fun...So that's why I chose Lol over HoN.
Voted for LoL simply because I prefer it. HoN is better technical-wise, and both games aren't the best examples of balance.
Avalon Heroes. f2P and most content,great gameplay and in the ESL Major series.
HoN. It's not even a fair comparison to be honest.
LoL imo - paying £5 pound for a great game, or £30 pound for a great game
for some reason this seems familiar..
Not this crap again.
This is pointless, they both fill different niches in the market, they're not comparable.
just play DoTA, end of story
Starcraft 2 wins.
And the winner will be LoL, due to the fact that most of the kids on here have no credit cards and pretty much suck.:(
LoL isn't going to win because it's free. It's going to win because the majority of people on here share the same opinion. That LoL is far more friendly. I like both games, in terms of play, just the same. However, I've never been able to look past the community that HoN has. Now that it's gone retail it's much worse. It's been condensed down to the very people that made most of us leave in the first place.
There's a difference between acting competitive with someone and being a downright d-bag.
I played HoN before I even knew League of Legends existed and the only games I wouldn't get cussed at would be the ones when I played with Brazilians.
As far as the games go and not the communitys, I still enjoy League of Legends more. I can say that if HoN was free or followed the same plan as LoL I would not consider switching over.
I also feel like because LoL follows a pay for skins (and champs if you wish) plan that they are encouraged to produce more content. If we look at the number of champs made since release the numbers do not even compare. I checked up on HoN just to see how they're doing and I only saw two new champions. The champions LoL produces are also made to coincide with the communities interests, something HoN doesn't have to focus on. We got 3 ninja champions with a pirate, a plant king, and a vampire-esque champion on the way.
Similarly I like the way the champions play in LoL better. Summoner skills coupled with normal skills add to the pre-game tactics you'd want to set up before a premade. They also use mechanics OTHER than mana to handle heroes. Energy, Rage, (Metal for mordekaiser) have all been great additions so it truly feels like heroes play much differently than each other.
Both me and my brother switched from HoN(even after I learned to play and started raising my PSR) to LoL and we still think it's a great decision. Since then I've gotten about 5 of my college-mates to try it out and consistently do 5s or 3s with them.
I understand some people prefer HoN because the whole PSR thing gets their jollies off but it doesnt hold a candle to League of Legends in my opinion.
The amount of people who actually tried to play both games up to a decent level is very few. You're not one of them.
People will prefer LoL because it is more casual oriented, it's free, and the community at the lower levels is more friendly. The reason why people in HoN are such huge douches is because the majority of them like to play the game competitively, as stats, etc. are recorded. Because of this, if one person fails, or is a new player, etc. the entire team will fail, period, regardless of the actions of the other 4 players. This exists in every team game, even in LoL (try getting out of the average player bracket and you will find as much douchebaggery in LoL as you will in HoN).
No, the majority of HoN players are just tired of people trashing HoN when they haven't even grasped the basics of the game. You don't go making a fanbase wide assumption on a MMORPG based on 2-3 hours do you?
Hilarious, some of us play HoN because we believe it is a technically superior, more balanced, and more competitive game. LoL caters to casual players, and has no real competitive community around it (there has been no major money tournaments that I have seen). Meanwhile, HoN has got MYM HoN Pride which is giving out $10,000 USD, and another $40,000 tournament. Yeah, there are people that actually play this game for fun and because we make a little money on the side while doing it.
Hon is better than lol, but Lol is free so now it's better :)
LoL is the best :D
