LOL community not much better than HoN, but they do have a system that removes toxic players.

Dumbed down? Hardly. HoN has retardedly OP champs and requires you to kill your own minions as a "strategic" advantage. LoL fixes both of those, so I'd say it's more balanced or focused, but definitely not dumbed down.

Do they have something in place that replaces denying your opponent gold/xp as a strategy?

Yes. If you consistently land hits on your opponents even if they have sustain they usually become intimidated making it rather easy to zone them. In LoL you interact more against the enemy champs then you do in say DoTA, HoN etc... In those you concentrate on just rice farming.

there is no strategy to denying, despite what HoN nerds say.

it's bad game design, plain and simple.

i'm willing to bet that it wasn't even intended in original DotA, but was so common that they left it in.

in LoL, you actually have to beat opponents, not just bore them to death.

...so there's no resource management in the game? It's just about the APM twitch clicking?

I don't understand this statement. You mean YOU get shit on in SC2 because you have no micro?

I didn't play SCII enough to get to the level of getting "shit on" I got bored and quit about halfway through gold league, this was about a month after the leagues came out.

I don't know what have no micro means.
Having to rely on twitch clicking and spam hotkeying is not "strategy" it's twitch. If I want to play a twitch game I'll play Osu! or a FPS.
HoN had strategy and the more everyone posts about LoL the more it appears it's twitch over strategy. I've lost count the number of games that I've MVP'd in in HoN where I was nowhere near the top APM because that game goes far beyond twitch clicking.

You're welcome to try to convince me otherwise but so far you've achieved the opposite.
