Pretty similar, not a very extensive genre. Perhaps HoN abit faster and filled with more nerds though. Some differences : in HoN u can adjust terrain, deny creeps and play all champions. I like LoL more, perhaps more casual but also more teambased
Might seem contradictory but in HoN carry = way more important. Thats why I think contributing in a good way to a teamfight can make more of a difference no matter what role you are playing. Perhaps more teambased is not 100% accurate, but this explanation should make clear what I'm trying to say :D
Ye I recon, which is why I don't do that and prefer normal games with friends. But afaik metagame stands for the strongest possible team composition when executed correctly. This still is bruiser top/jungler/ad mid/support+carry bot. Also a good CC team with a tank and support will rape most teams imo.
Read my comment above. And yes HoN is more fast paced imo. I haven't played alot of HoN so perhaps I'm wrong. The thing I really liked about HoN is how I can see more clearly whats happening compared to LoL. But since most of my friends play LoL and it's f2p, I prefer LoL :)
hon is also f2p now.
but all this "is it better or worse" bs (subjective obviously) aside people usually tend to prefer LoL cause its faster paced.
just to name one example: the lane is longer, the port isnt for free and if you die you lose money. that slows you down significantly.
on the other hand i have heard that LoLs metagame is just farmfarmfarm carry standoff so maybe its a bit more static in that aspect.
On random games, yes. But when playing with friends or when watching good teams play, no. There are alot of ways, like alot of crowd control and focusing, to counter even a fed carry, but random players don't have the coordination to do so, which results indeed in a game of who has the most overfed carry. Didn't know HoN was f2p, might try it again then only played at a friends house a few times while he was explaining shit to me.
I'm not saying one is better than the next, useless discussion since they are so similar. And I meant fasterpaced as in the action is faster, not talking about the game itself :)
there is more stuff going on at the same time in hon, simply because there are more game mechanics. still lol is more about straight forward fighting action rather than tactics. so i call it faster...
HoN overall reactiontime / char animation is faster. Also, items like Chalice and striders promote an aggresive early game instead of ricing for 30 minutes. The courrier allows for these items to be used earlier, again promoting an aggresive / ganking strategies. Current hon metagame is about pushing lanes and ganking. LoL is more passive / farm based.
just asking cause those kills were mostly due to overextension and that bomba thing mid, he missed everything and devo just saved his ass, the ulti in the end was nothing special.
i have accounts in every bracket from 1500 smurf to 1700.
not the best player myself and only around 600 games after beta.
no teambased tactical movements there besides camping in a bush and ambushing the enemy, yet im still playing LoL now, though that's only because the computer that i use is for ET mostly, and should format before i could play HoN with decent fps. and imo LoL and HoN cant be compared, both are good games in different ways.
lol if you want some casual fun
hon if you want to practise a lot, once you start to get all the details you'll appreciate the game and it's rewarding gameplay
both games are fun, you can always start with lol and if you like the genre and want something more out of it, switch to hon
plz dont tell me you can stack boots in LoL, the stupidity of that would just be ... lol. Btw, a lot of ppl mistunderstand HoN being faster with speed. It has to do with faster attack animations and 0 delay, faster metagameplay. Its not how fast the heros run, its the actions per minute which is way higher in HoN.
The HoN metagame is focused on ganking since you not only get money, your victem also looses money. Next to the ganking, theres pushing. Basicly take a char who can take down towers really fast. Either they defend the tower and loose xp, or they dont and loose a tower. Usually great when they have a hard carry who needs to farm for 30 minutes to be effective.
think that fucked up HoN is using the F2P modle for a game aimed at competetive gamers. You need 200 € or something to get all the heroes or waste 15 € a month on tokens.
How would there be more actions per minute if there is 0 delay. It would mean all actions are immediate but since overall cooldowns on skills are not lower in HoN compared to LoL there would an equal amount of actions per minute.
The 0 delay in skills also counter the whole HoN-requires-more-skill thing.
Bubbles has 600 shellsurf speed in dota. In HoN they had to up it to 850 cause ppl had such an easy time hexing, stunning him before he could get in or out ... Why do I even argue with you ....
get brain and pwn hard. simple
semi's are alot more common.
wow mate you got your games mixxed up

YOU MUST THINK LOL IS REALLY BETTER THAN HON OTHERWISE YOU WOULDNT HAVE BEEN SO DEFENSIVE OVER A FUCKING OPINION.
my opinion, kthxbai.
