LoL is for people who cannot make it in DOTA 2 or Heroes of Newerth. The elimination of creep dening , tower denying and overall being able to teleport any where on map via home coming stones or town portals takes a lot away from the game.

I play LoL now but I find my self yawning a lot while playing which is something I do not do in the other two.

LoL allows almost everyone scale to end game damage wise.. which is something that you can have a problem with in dota2 or HON. Casters typically are support or there to dominate the early and mid game while the carry farms up. which is fine as those heroes have stuns , snares or other disables that allow them to still contribute late game.

that model is fine but it is very misunderstood by many. Many of the people who leave dota 2 or hon for lol are the ones who pick pyro/lina or some other caster and expect to carry the game .. but then lose it to chromos/faceless void or some other hard carry because they didn't end the game when they had the advantage.

THe reason I play LoL now is because after not being able to break past 1700 in HON , I decided to play a game where a sub par player like me can be a super star.. which is why it is so popular.

doesn't change the fact that the game just lowers the standard so it caters to more people.
