I paid money for SC2 and Dota and I still feel like LoL is a vastly superior game to either of them so I don't know what you're saying. We wouldn't all be playing League if we didn't think it was worthwhile, more fun than HoN/Dota/BW/SC2 and if it didn't have a great community.
Also, we have the highest-level strategy discussion on the web, hands down.
I don't mean it like that at all. I had a lot of fun when I played Lol even if I really dislike runes/masteries, and can understand why people enjoy playing it. I just find it surprising how gripped people seem to be with Lol compared to DotA/HoN.

Every forum I read there's a hugeeeee discussion around Lol while other (arguably better) dota games get no attention. Lol isn't that good! Why are people so obsessed with it. Oh wait... grindy awards & customization. LoL is just way more accessible compared to the other DOTA games. -UI is better -Mechanics are simplified (No denying, No Multiple shops) -Decent matchmaking - FREE There's more.. -More actionpacked from the get go -emphasis and balanced around team fights rather than 1 fed imba hero destroying everyone While Dota and Hon has a steeper skill curve it doesn't make LoL a lesser game, actually I think its a more well designed game than dota/hon which has core design flaws that disallows any casual gamer just looking for a good game.
As a DotA player:
First quote (nested). Agree with. (except WC3 is "free" these days)
Second quote. You don't know anything about DotA/HoN.
There's a lot of arrogant posts in this blog, at the rate it's going it's just going to turn into another war.
And yes, that LoL forum is so incredibly obscure there is probably going to be people who make LoL threads.

Wow thats some rock solid arguments you've got there, you must be from the dota community I assume?
You're not exactly helping the status of this blog by calling people clueless and then backing it up with.. nothing.

You are as clueless as somebody calling Zerg imba in SC2 in this current patch. Heroes are fed because lack of skill, mistakes etc., and there is no hero that can be really deserving of the title "imba". Carries are an important part of DotA/HoN, if you don't like it then say so, but there isn't anything "imbalanced" about it.
Seriously, you think my claims are baseless? DotA/HoN has plenty of team fights. Look up 99% of pro DotA/Hon replays there are team fights, and the best ones probably go over 5+ huge teamfights a game. For one thing, YOUR claims are baseless, and you're probably basing your experience of the game from a low level perspective. Do you really think Zerg rushes are imba and that's all Starcraft is about? Probably not, but there are some people out there who don't know what they're talking about.
And yes, I did say I was a DotA player; in fact it was the first damn thing I said in my post.

Im glad you explained how heroes get fed.. thanks for that ^^. The fact still remains, they play a much larger role in dota than in LoL.
I never said dota didn't have any team fights, what I said was that LoL was more emphasized around team fights than dota because of the above fact and my original post. I didn't have the "More" part at the start of that sentence which was my misstake as you clinched on to that to back up your argument, but it is what i meant either way.
Save the SC2 analogies please.. lol
