League of Legends is awesome. I'm sure most of you out there are all 'DotA this IceFrog that blah blah blah' but I don't feel like buying another copy of WC3 and I can't find my old keys, so DotA is right out (until DotA 2, gogo standalone). Does anybody here play LoL? It's free, why not?!

LoL does not = HoN and DotA. HoN and DotA are literally the same game. LoL is just kinda similar to them.

How are they different? I've only ever read that they're all basically the same, I've never played HoN or DotA. Do you have a preference of the three? Blah blah Icefrog blah blah DotA?

Explaining specifics when you've never played HoN or DotA would be pointless. LoL and HoN/Dota are about as different as TFC and TF2. Pretty damn different, but there are similarities. Just go play HoN or DotA and then knowledge will be yours.
I prefer HoN because I never got bored of DotA and LoL feels like a cheap knockoff when compared to it. Same kinda thing with the TF games.

It's not just a cheap knockoff, it's a free knockoff :D

DotA is free, sure. It's fun if you ignore the graphics, movement limit, spell buttons being the way they are, the unbalance, that it's made on an RTS engine that doesn't really support it, that the only players that were (and especially those who are) get pissed on you if you try to learn how to play it, DotA is actually kinda fun.
Heroes of Newerth is not free. If you go to their website there is a "buy your account" button, all big and red.
While speaking of LoL and HoN, it's more like the difference between SC2 an RTS that isn't as compeditive. You go to LoL to have fun, you go to HoN to win.

I play HoN without paying for it. You must be doing something wrong. HoN has a very thorough match finding system. It is very easy to find super-nub games that do not qualify as competitive in the least. Well, other than the competition of who can take the longest to get to a god damn lane.

Just installed it, played my first game, and my first impressions were that it:
SUCKS
The graphics sucks, seriously.
You can't even press on the hero portrait or hotkey your hero to go to him directly
You can't select enemy stuff @_@
You cant deny creeps
and much more

Yes. Indeed. That thing I said. LoL is just ghetto HoN/DotA. It incorporates metagame unlock bullshit that I hate as well.
It's weird how many people think that LoL is just as much like DotA as HoN is. The only thing that could possibly cause that is them simply having never played HoN and probably also never played DotA. Since if they had they'd be all like "WTF is this shit" and go play a real version of the game.

HoN=DotA. I never have enjoyed DotA. I do enjoy LoL.
LoL is similiar to DotA because of it's base (kill creep get money, pay money get stuff, use stuff kill players yadadadada). Then LoL removed the extremely horrible in DotA (Yaaay, 6 second stun with 4 second cooldown!) and made it more player friendly.
DotA players are more used to that so if they leave, they go to HoN which I'm happy about since they're really helpful to newbies. Glad I don't have to play against them.
@Sraw, click spacebar to automatically target your champion.
You can't deny creep, thankfully. In DotA most people play rangers.
You want to know why? Since they can deny so redicolously easy.
You CAN select enemy stuff! In your top left corner there's your champion. To the left of that you can see whatever you've marked.
I like the graphics and their cartoony style. Otherwise you're meaning that your computer is horrible.

You couldn't play against them in HoN if you wanted to. The games are seperated by your score. You'd be unable to even join a game against people who aren't also newbies. And if you were pretty bad you'd quickly get tossed in with the low score crowd and be able to happily play with people of your skill level.

No... just... no. That's just not. Like, my god it's not. This is what I mean when I say people simply haven't played DotA. It's painfully obvious you haven't after saying something like that. Not more than barely scratching the surface of the game at most anyway.
I mean, good god. There are game modes. Most people play ranged characters? Yeah, I'm sure they can do that when they're assigned a random fucking hero.

Umm dota is pretty balanced actually, and there is no 6 second stun with 4 second cooldown (infact the only 6 second stun in the game is techies stun mine, then I think the next longest is alchemist with 4, DK with 3 and the rest are mostly 2 seconds or less).
And I really don't like the cartoony graphics, and the stupid mastery system and the summoner stuff, the fact you can't pick up runes, and the item buying system is pretty dumb also.
Denying creeps is an important part of what makes Dota, since it usually gets your opponent pissed off if you play as sniper and deny every single creep until they start pinging at you like crazy
