Ok, so I tried DotA2. Not impressed.
First, the aesthetics. League of Legend looks better.
As for the rest, I sum it up with "more complicated, less intuitive". The shop interface is clunky, far harder to browse, and includes the completely pointless recipe items. There's the extra "level up" button which adds an extra button press to the level up process, for no reason. I haven't found any way to preview hero abilities or play styles, which is pretty dang huge, as I have to keep quitting bot queues over and over just so I can browse through the hero list. And I haven't found any nice way to preview items either, and with an item list as large as they have, that's another huge disappointment.
Overall, it just feels unpolished and inferior to League of Legends. I know that as a genre, MOBAs are based around an extremely similar setup to begin with, but otherwise, I'd be calling this a knock-off.
