League of Legends is the new game built by the guys who helped create DotA, while HoN is a game based on DotA. Both sound similar, but LoL at least has a connection to DotA (according to Wikipedia).
Allow me to summarise everything:
HoN has nice features(stat tracking,voip etc), looks awesome and the netcode is G_G. On the other hand the bandwidth requirements are quite steep, and even with the imminent local server, if you are capped you won't be able to play. Also, competitively this game is far behind dota atm, and this for me is the biggest factor. I rarely played pubs in dota, and this seems to be all that HoN is good for (again, ATM).

Why is this discussion still going on 
HoN all ready beats DotA in almost every aspect of the game AND IT'S STILL IN BETA
True about the amount of cap it munches but if you look at everything the game offers you can’t expect it to be much less. When this game is finally out of beta I see a quick and painful death for DotA, true some people will still be playing it but I can promise you they will all have a copy of HoN installed
As for the competitive side, HoN all ready has the options for referees etc. (greyed out) and if they improved the game this much so far, just think of what they’ll bring to the table later on

no offline play yet in the beta of hon hey?
HoN is not for me - Scourge side lacks any sort of RGB values and do you really want to play a modern game without colour graphics?
HoN heroes are imbalanced.
HoN just doesn't feel right.
HoN auto-balance and stats is awesome.

Normally it's the stats people complain about.
