But to come back to the HoN vs DotA thing, I dunno hey... HoN just feels way easier as the heroes have such OP spells, and it's just not the same as what I'm looking for. DotA is definitely the one and only game in this genre for me. I might be a bit biased since DotA is the first game in it's genre and that over the years I have come to know and love it.

The only thing that pissed me off so much in this game is the matchmaking. And the Russians. Wow, you get some stubborn fscking people that play this game..my lawd. I was playing Sven the one game and my Russian counterparts decided Sven was best served in the suicide lane (bot) and that I should please buy wards and courier because Sven is, get this, "hard support". I Lol'd.
HoN constantly evolves, and get new content on a weekly, bi weekly basis. DOTA2 on the other hand, will always be DotA with minor tweaks. If you want something new and interesting, with smooth netcode, have cast ranges enabled by default, with lots of mod capabilities that allows the user to customize their game; HoN is the better option. Metagame constantly changes and is dynamic, doesn't give you much time to adapt.
Although Midwars is great for just playing casually and killing stuff.

If you hate change, well DOTA2 does a pretty good job at staying the same as it's DotA counterpart where new content is half a year affair. You can come back to it from a long absence and jump right in.
