HoN vs LoL revisited

So, I'm pretty sure before I said that I like HoN (Heroes of Newerth) better than LoL (League of Legends). Well, I finally came back to play LoL some more because some people from work play, and it's time for a new analysis.

HoN is a buy once, you have the game system. I think this is better, because I get the game and then I can just play.

LoL is "free" up front, but you can either use money-points or earned points to buy heroes (they rotate 10 free heroes each week, and you can also buy different clothing sets with real money points). Lame, right?

Well, for some reason it work. You earn game-points for playing (more for a win) and while you will rage just as much for having a bad team and/or losing, some strange desire to level-up and feel progress makes people keep coming back to LoL.

So even though HoN is "better", LoL wins.
