    I would say that LoL is one of those games that is easy to pick up but hard to master.
    I wager several of the players here who are proclaiming that LoL is just 'casual' probably only did a few solo-queue matches. If you make it up into the upper ELOs you'll begin to really see the competitive scene. So LoL is definitely as competitive as HoN and i'd argue even moreso in those aspects.

    With that said, I'd offer the OP the advice that if they liked certain features from DOTA (LoS jungle, denying, losing gold on death etc) then go ahead and try HoN.
    The difference isn't one of which is more casual or competitive since LoL has ranked now and you can do EM in HoN anyway. So play based on which one has the mechanics you like more.
    nah..you just think so. Here are MANY people who played LoL up to the high ranks + playing LoL
    since first beta..its not that we just say that LoL is causal...it is casual! In my opinion HoN or Dota
    is Casual too..but i still think HoN is harder to master than LoL.

    Ah i see, so you're saying your opinion isn't an opinion-its a fact :|
    Well you seem pretty convinced you're right but don't really offer any evidence to back up statements. I could use a rebuttal as simple as yours like "nah..you just think so." However, i'll try to reason with you. What makes league of legends casual rather than it being easier to pick up?
    There IS a difference.
    Just because it offers a more streamlined process into the game which allowed so many people to get into the genre doesn't mean it's only for casual players. And thats the mentality i feel a lot of people have, "oh, it allows new players to work their way up rather than throwing them into the fray, it must be casual." I can't help but disagree with you.
    In fact, the only thing you said that I'll give you credit for is "HoN is harder to master than LoL" though I'd also offer that no player in either of these games has ever really mastered them to begin with so its a null point.
