DotA 2 is harder and more complex. It is. I can say that as someone that has played thousands of hours of both games. When LoL players who obviously only played a couple games of dota if any try and dog on DotA 2 and fabricate its flaws, it's painfully hilarious and obvious.

The pacing of the game is better. The team compositions are better. The support heroes are better and far more impactful. It's a better game to watch, and somehow the game is more balanced with about a tenth of the balance patches that it's competitors get with almost every single hero in the pool viable.

LoL has spawned a generation of players that think "maining" a character is an effective way to play a game of this type. It reminds me of how sad it was when a pure genre like FPS was destroyed by console noobs and CoD scrubs.

Not sure if you have ever played a game of league with thresh in your game or not. League isn't better than Dota 2 and Dota 2 isn't better than league they both have flaws and benefits. Two completely different games in my opinion

Truth.

I like both for different reasons though. And throw in Smite too. I think it's a bit better than both for certain types of play.

with dota2 I'm looking forward to learning about the different hero's so I'll be able to play them if needed and so I'll be able to better counter them when fighting against them

Dota 2 isn't harder than league, maybe more cumbersome. There is a lot more game knowledge to learn in Dota, but point and click CC/Death isn't hard.
