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.
