New players don't stick with HoN because they join a game, get stunned for 10+ seconds while being hit for 1/3 their max hp per second and die near instantly without even being able to move or cast a spell. All because they stood too far to the right without vision of the area.
Then lose the gold they just farmed for the last 5 minutes (non-cm).
In LoL you can start with 900 hp and regen items/abilities at LEVEL ONE (garen for ex.).
LoL also incorporates Zileas' "developing for a retarded community" philosophies and that's why the game is bland and boring and the meta is always a nightmare no matter what it happens to be (tanky dps, poking, healing, ranged carries, nukers, 1-1-2+jungler every game).
LoL is a terrible game. However the genre is an acquired taste, DotA/HoN are very unforgiving because that's how it should be. LoL is VERY forgiving and THAT is why it's popular.
Advertising, auto pilot game play, cartoons, big titted female heroes and the biggest cliche characters you will ever see.
MIGHTY DEMACIAN RIGHTEOUS HERO GUY WITH BIG TWO-HANDED SWORD HE WIELDS IN ONE HAND!!1!1!!
Here's a good way to compare the games.
LoL is the WoW of the MOBA genre. Anyone with any semblance of intelligence knows that popularity almost never = quality (see: modern music, movies, games), and quantity does not = quality (player base size).
But the biggest thing is ADDICTIVE GAME DESIGN NEVER EQUALS QUALITY.
Modern games: Progression bars, rewards, perks, grinding, farming, killstreaks.
They are all designed for ONE thing and that is to keep you addicted to what is most likely a piece of **** product.
Welcome to the values of the human race!
