DotA 2 is harder and more complex. It is. I can say that as someone that has played thousands of hours of both games.
have read this several other places, seems to be a recurring theme.

LoL has spawned a generation of players that think "maining" a character is an effective way to play a game of this type.
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

Everything in the game has a counter. Absolutely everything. Whether it is a hero or an item.
The item progression in each match is non linear compared to LoL where items are mostly stat sticks to boost armor, magic resist, AP or AD.
This is why there are so many more comebacks in DotA 2. Losing the game? Sandking or Earthshaker getting a blink dagger can completely turn the game around. Getting raped by a stun heavy lineup? Not after your carry gets a blink dagger.
The mentality of the playerbase just seems to be different too. If you want to progress through the rankings, you need to know how to play every single hero, all of which are unlocked to not give people a pay to win competitive advantage.
The counter-play of the game is incredible, much like starcraft 2. You have to make decisions about what items to make and what heroes to choose based on the enemies position.
