I'm looking to pick up a DOTA style game should i go with Demigod or League of Legends. Slightly leaning towards LoL due to its art style which appeals to me.

If Heroes of Newerth is not an option I'd go with League of Legends. Didn't really care for Demigod at all.

Stay away from HoN the community is terrible. Demigod is good although I have not played in a while so I do not know how many people are still playing. Your best choice is LoL. The community is not as bad as HoN and if you have played DotA before it has enough differences to make the genre/mode fresh again.

i would say LoL. HoN is too much like dota including all the bad things. one of the main reasons i dislike HoN is because most of its items are force the player into a single uber build for one hero. in LoL however you must make sure you buy the items that will work in that particular game (some heroes have less choice i admit) so that the player has more choice depending on their playstyle.

HoN -- matchmaking, mods, IMO HoN IS DOTA 2.0 hence why it's so similar.. heroes familiar to dota are present. buddylist integration ..graphics kick some arse. .. Tbh just play them both. If you're a hardcore dota fan I think you'd like HoN more.

Heroes of Newerth > DOTA > LoL > Demigod.

There was nothing wrong with dota, it was pretty much perfect. All it needed was its own game to fully realize its potential. HON will give you that. The HON netcode is really good as there is no delay at all whatsoever which is a huge plus when playing the game.

That Was the reason why i hated players in SEA dota .. too cookie cuttter based and inflexible players (u tell them to buy Necro book 3 for DK becoz there's SA and BH running around , they tell u to burn in hell and proceed to buy useless tank items). HON has more 'elite' type of players who are willing and able to mold their heros according to the flow of the match and the need of their teammates, not like in dota where ppl dont wanna think out of the box.

IMO the best , most flexible and most satisfying to use heroin DOTA is invoker . period . He is the reason why i occasionally go back to dota with my friends . No fixed builds , many choice of skills depending on lane and opponent team and superb synergy when teammates know how to tag with you.
