    League of Legends is a much more user friendly. If you're new, you can get into it much easier as it suggests item builds and tells you what your character is used for. Also, the characters are pretty unique, you have some which are more of less new versions of DotA characters but most of them are new.

    Heroes of Newerth is DotA with a new graphics engine. They have some heroes of their own, but upon jumping into my first game and randoming a character I instantly knew who he was. I don't remember his name but he was a male Priestess of the Moon, every ability he had was a direct copy of her's. That said, this is not as newb friendly as League of Legends but definitely will be the hardcore DotA players choice, as there is more depth, and they already know a majority of the characters.

    They're both fun, I was never good at DotA so choose whichever you like more.

    Research before you post.

    This thread is actually full of good information so far.

    These two games are based off of one game so it is a good comparison and was a needed thread.

    I've seen too many threads like this go in vain. What makes this an exception?

    Ive already stated, that it is two games that most people here are not fan boys of. The games are both copies of the same game. Most people here want to know the benefits and negatives of both.

    This is why HON is better and brings much more complexity, If HON equals dota with 10 new features then Im up for it.

    If LOL = dota with much more dumb people who cant handle a full dota then im up for HON!!

    you really cant compare the two because they are different. if you're looking to play a game based the dota roots, then play hon. if you're looking for something more laidback, and less stressful, play LoL.

    I love the devs of the savage series, and they've done well with HON. I'd say HON.

    I don't like either. I got pretty bored of the whole dota concept and the community that came along with it.
