Pick Your DotA Poison: Heroes of Newerth / League of Legends

Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2009 8:34 am

Since the DS poll was mainly inconclusive.
Let's make the choice more specific and straight to the point.

Which DBG (DotA Based Game) are you leaning towards to?

Do you prefer Heroes of Newerth?
HEROES OF NEWERTH FEATURES:

-select from about 40 heroes and counting
-Stat Tracking
-Matchmaking System
-Ladder Rankings
-Custom Map Editor
-Game Reconnection
-Leaver Protection
-Client-Server Netcode (no lag)
-Re-Bindable Hotkeys
-Built in VOIP
-Linux and Mac support

or

Do you prefer League of Legends?
LEAGUE OF LEGENDS FEATURES:

-select from about 40 heroes and counting
-stat tracking
-Ladder Rankings
-RPG style advancement
-match with AI bots
-in game rewards
-automated matchmaking
-Game reconnection
-re-Bindable Hotkeys
-Summoner aspect (can cast spells)
-FREE

All those boldened features are unique to that specific DBG.

Here's one from Zileas of Riot Games:
Quote:
LoL is really about innovation and driving the genre forward while retaining its competitive spirit – we’ve done a lot of completely new champions, gameplay and item designs to make the basic experience more fun, and to add new elements of strategy and gameplay. We hope to simplify the barrier to entry, while retaining the same depth, and making it all more fun at the same time. Your post does not mention anything about this, and it is the #1 differentiating point of LoL. To use an analogy, if DOTA is Everquest, we’d like to be WoW.

HoN on the other hand is focused on being a big upgrade in user interface, graphics and back-end features to the basic dota experience to make it a lot better, but is not about innovation. I believe 1/8th or so of their heroes are unique to HoN, the rest being reskins or minor touchups of original DOTA heroes. For some type of gamers this will be a much better experience than LoL, while for those wanting something newer, they’ll typically prefer LoL. Using another game analogy, if DOTA is Counterstrike, HoN is CS: Source plus a little bit.


Please do explain your choice thoroughly.
And avoid flaming each other.


Discuss.

I think I'll go with League of Legends. If League of Legends fail, I think I'll go with DotA.

To tell you the truth I don't like either of them but if I were to pick one of the two I would pick Heroes of Newerth. Why?
Because I like Dota more than the two of them combined and Heroes of Newerth is so much like Dota that I feel like I'm going to enjoy it more than League of Legends.

Methinks you missed the survey by the almighty admin, where he got about 2k votes.

LoL won as far as I remember.

I think this guy just wanted HoN to win.

"Kiddie graphics game." for LoL
"DotA with shiny graphics and added features we've always wanted to see on Garena/Bnet like stat tracking? " for HoN

IMO, troll or fail.
