[quote name='Cheeseknight28']AKA a MOBA, or Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. The genre is basically... DotA, LoL, Newerth, Demigod, and DotA2. I think some other company announced a game like this recently, but I can't remember the name.
I may snag Newerth for this price... played the beta a lot but I moved on to LoL. But $10 for nostalgic purposes ain't too bad...
Edit: Monday Night Combat is also a third-person game in the MOBA style.[/QUOTE]
SOTIS (Storm of the Imperial Sanctum) is also a MOBA game; it's pretty much the DOTA in Starcraft 2. Also in case anyone didn't know, DOTA2 is being made by Valve
I prefer LoL to HoN. The community is a lot nicer, and the learning curve is not as steep. I've never played ranked in HoN, but in unranked games, its always unbalanced like crazy, people yelling at people for sucking, people leave all the time, it's all just frustrating. Regardless though still very fun, and I would recommend it for $10.
LoL will still have elitists and jerks, but in unranked you start at level 1 and slowly make your way up to 30. It's more balanced in the sense that unless you're playing with high level friends, you will be matched with people around your level. Ranked games in LoL aren't available til 30 so you know how to play the game by then, and ranked games are very fun; they add an extremely strategic-based competitive atmosphere to the game. I've actually spent quite a decent amount of money in LoL, from buying skins and champions, etc. But I honestly don't regret, it's probably one of my favorite games ever. And LoL is free to play, things that cost money in it are not mandatory, I also recommend it to everyone!
