I'm in both beta's and I actually like them better than Demigod in its current state.

Maybe I am just biased because they still have that new game feel, but they are already much more polished than demigod. I never played DotA so I am really liking the new things like last hitting and denies. HoN seems like it is going be a very competitive game while LoL will appeal to the masses because it is super easy to start playing and have fun.

 

It's sad to see closed beta games like HoN be so much more polished than Demigod since they have a perfect friends list/IM, invites to games, good pathing, and stable connectivity(SERVER o.m.g) with replays and clan system already implented just not activated yet.

Well till it gets moved..   HoN is deliberately made to be DotA 2.0.   When somebody rants about it because they say it is copying DotA it is because it is meant to do so.  Most if not all of the exact same items are in there except different portraits and names.  The shop system is ten times better and also more newb friendly as you can click on a recipe item and it will list the items upon where you can click again to purchase.  The maps are exactly the same, with a few varients of course to the buildings and units.  The shop area is simply one building with the intuitive AI

 

Hopefully I don't sound like I'm rambling..  Anyways, the voice work needs a bit of redoing which they are aware of.  Also there is currently two maps.  Did I mention that the community is just as bad as DotA.  With the racism and well.... Newbism.   As long as you aren't some DotA fanatic who can't take the thought of a game being made to better a mod, then you should love HoN.  As for LoL... I have no idea, it's very difficult to get in.

 

What I do know, is that each game is very different from Demigod.  Demigod stills stands on its own perch as a different type of game but with the same genre.  If that makes any sense.  In fact if this post made any sense..

I'm in the LoL beta... I like it... But it's like comparing apples to oranges when comparing LoL to Demigod.

Well even if you compare the basics for any good game like gameplay, features, competition, activity, etc. HoN and LoL still beat out Demi easily.

 

I love LoL's network code since I always have a constant 10 ping :)
