HoN was the superior MOBA game when it first came out. Unlike LoL, it was all inclusive. You didn't have to buy heroes in order to use them, and you didn't have to fuck around with micro transactions unless you wanted to buy alt-avatars etc. That's the only drawback of LoL IMO. If you can't enjoy all the heroes, then what is the point? And yes I know you now have to purchase heroes if you have a free HoN account, but before it was F2P it was definitely worth $30. I have become quite unhappy with HoN (played since beta). S2 is an extremely mismanaged company, and has negatively effected HoN ('NOOB THEY MADE IT.' I know.). Between the business choices they have made and how their employees handle themselves it has definitely hurt it. HoN could be the #1 MOBA if it wasn't run by S2. DOTA 2 will probably destroy HoN when it goes retail. I haven't been impressed with the beta, but I'm sure retail will be much better. Ultimately, HoN will die when a polished MOBA run by a professional company hits the market.
