I played HoN for a while and now I've played LoL for a while. If you come from a DotA background like I do, these two games seem very different. HoN is more competitive, and dare I say, more strategic. I like the denying mini-game and how that along with a good farming strategy can turn around a bad game. LoL suffers severly from the snowball effect, where once one team gets a little ahead, every game mechanic ensures that gap keeps widening. In DotA or HoN you can pull out an upset after having a bad early game, but I almost never see it happen in LoL. The built-in voice chat tailored to the games features (there's no way using Vent to send voice messages to only your lane partners) and clan features are great and LoL still lacks them though they'll hopefully be added at some point.
OK, now for the good about LoL. I have friends playing it!
The game is definately fun and a bit quicker paced than HoN. The summoner leveling, unlocking of characters, runes, summoner skills, and masteries help the feed the addiction. Although after I while of playing LoL I miss being able to choose from the dozens of available heroes in Dota and LoL. At this point despite what I feel is slightly inferior gameplay and more than slightly inferior visuals I'm most likely going to be sticking with LoL. Too bad I actually purchased HoN back when that's what my friends were playing :/ If they ever bore of LoL I may switch.
Edit: Poll is closed, drat.
