Being good at making money and being good at balancing a game or making intelligent decisions regarding balance to begin with are two different things. Riot refuses to include complexity in their games and LoL will always have a lower skill ceiling than Dota or HoN because of how much they simplified the game. I always recommend people who are new to arts's or aren't going to bother getting good over to it just because it's so much easier to learn.

Honestly, they are good at making the game. Maybe it's not the game you were looking for, but it's a hell of a lot more accessible that DotA ever was. You may claim they've lowered the skill ceiling or there's limited complexity, and to some extent you're right, but the game is feels a lot better balanced than DotA was, and in the short time I played HoN it had better balance.

For examples of HoN/DotA imalance, check pretty much any AGI hero, and Omniknight, Enchantress, Invoker, Bane Ele, Necrolyte, and many more, and since the game is updated once every few months, those heroes remain broken for that time.
