When i saw that techies was released i decided to take a break because i was kind of bored with dota. Persuaded by my friends i gave another chance to league. Hell, a chenge is welcomed from time to time.
After some playtime I understood more about the basic concepts and mechanics... And as funny as it sounds LoL is somehow more unbalanced than dota, or at least that is my opinion. The dmg starts weak but in late game it skyrockets(and that doesn't apply only to carries). In the end with the equal amounts of farm/kills it all comes to the speed of execution/apm not initiation or surprise or outplay(at least in pubs)
For example in dota, a hard carry that died 10 times early and made like 8 kills late cant do much vs a carry that is farmed/fed. Well in lol it can.
Tbh i have heard that LoL has higher dmg spikes and that is more unbalanced than dota, but i didn't believe it until i saw it with my own eyes. For example in my last match i played with an assassing character, with modest farm and a 12/10 score and i was still doing tons of dmg(even tho i had a mediocre performance!!!)
Another thing that seems out of place for me is the fact that everyone scales into late. Even a support char with the right items and farm can somehow deal some serious dmg. Idk maybe i played dota too much and i naturally i don't expect stuff like this to happen. I also heard that there are heroes who don't fit at all in the meta(even pub meta that is...)
Spells cost like 20 to 100 mana at early levels, and with a high mana regen/mana pool/potion(that can't be intrerupted) you can spam without problems.
Towers are weird as hell. You can't practically tower dive until late game because the tower witll kill you in 4 hits. Kinda funny if you ask me.
All in all league is nice, but in the end i guess it's just a matter of preference. Me, i would gladly stick with dota, which imo has everything more structured and arranged.
