Heroes of Newerth.

Idk why you can call LoL a free game when you actually have to play a lot or pay a lot to get the new champions, its like playing wow w/o the the lich king pack or cataclysm. Hon cost 20 dollars (10 dollar for now) and you basicly got everything but in game material like hero skins, new announcer packs etc etc but it doesnt change the gameplay at all. And I care more for the competitive scene in hon than the public scene, but I've noticed that LoL struggle in the same way as hon. New heroes are never picked up because they are either 1. Useless for team synergy or 2. Just way too op and is banned the entire tournament. But theres 2 things I cant stand about LoL which is there is no denies and you can have duplicated heroes in all matches. To me the deny factor plays a big role in the laning phase because if you had someone like plague rider who could deny creeps in LoL the lane would be pushed in his favor constantly.

Edit: If LoL want the game to end faster since theres no denies, make the creeps grow faster and remove respawn barracks system.
