I want to learn a bit more about one or the other this week, but if Dota is easier I'll duck out and prep some dinner before Dota comes on. No, LOL is much simpler, easier to learn. DOTA teams actually utilize complicated strategies. If you are a complete noob, LOL is your game.
Just like SC2 in relation to BW.

Or at least that's what an angry elitist will say. More reasonable people will tell you it's just a different game with similar mechanics.

Complete generalizations, LoL is not for 'complete noobs"- it's just a different and, yes, somewhat simpler game. That doesn't mean it's just for 'noobs'. Playing it at the top level is still a very, very, difficult and taxing thing to do.
When the top HON player goes to LOL and in 3 weeks is undeniably the best player there it is safe to assume it's for noobs. Sorry there's no nicer way to put it.
Now that Chu is back to HON he is in terrible shape from playing LOL so much and playing within a much more forgiving/slow game.

Anecdotal evidence does not a strong argument make.

Anecdotal evidence? Look up Chu. It's empirical evidence, sorry bud.

come home, see HuKs 0-3, lol

I don't think I can remember him ever getting out of groups...
I just feel he's a bit inconsistent. Sometimes he really shines and outplays some of the best players in the world and other times he seems awfully shaky.

Travel must be getting to him. And I don't necessarily mean jetlag.
I just mean, when the hell is he supposed to practice? Probably hasn't had any decent practice for 2 weeks.

I haven't played LoL in months. I'm really surprised to see Caitlyn, Jax and Gangplank in competitive play.

No, hes actually right. I play and like HoN and LoL, LoL is a casual game for a audience that overall isn;t as good.
