One of the reasons I believe LoL is a better game than HoN is the fact that you *don't* have all the champions from the beginning. You can always play 10 champions, but you have to make a choice that you play a champion reasonably if you want to have unlimited access to that champion, and depending on how hard the champion is to play, you will have to work hard to get him. This way noobs can't play champions that are too hard for them all the time, and will spend time trying out new ones as well as improving with others.

But some price reductions may be in place.
