People tend to forget but DotA 1 is a MODification of game WC3, it's not even a standalone game. Icefrog wanted DOTA to progress further but it was limited since he can only compress and pack so much in wc3 map file.

Dominion is a cool map and all but look at how many people actually played compared to when it was first released. It's innovative yes but it got boring really quick and let's not forget other mods that are based off some heroes in DOTA 1 like Pudge Wars or Shadowraze Wars. I'm pretty sure Valve is going to add those into the mix. If anyone asks in the future, AREM is not innovative since it was already in DOTA 1.

LoL being more simple and streamlined does not make it better or worse, it just has more appeal since it's easier. You'll get quick bursts of fun but it becomes repetitive since you see the samethings every time, same builds etc. Look at Starcraft, it's a game with ton of builds, quick reactions, require good thinking and it's complicated to an extent and it's currently the best esport game as of now.

World of Warcraft at least for me was fun for the first few months and what kept me playing was the players. Without my guild members and friends playing at the time all I do is either grind or mindlessly fly around Stormwind or Dalaran waiting for a queue for anything. For me with DOTA, whether I play with IRL friends or pals from DOTAFIRE or just by myself I still enjoy playing. You know why? It's challenging, random **** happen and it feels very rewarding when you can make a comeback. Look at this replay, 38881662, we strove to keep fighting and won with a d/c CM and a freefarmed AM. You can't do that in LoL unless they're really bad and after playing WoW for so long I'm tired of staying in lane grinding endlessly, that's why I hate playing carries like Drow or Alchemist who needs ton of farm.

I've played both games and I get bored with LoL real fast. I'm not being bias'd or anything, I really do get bored and the only enjoyable thing about LoL are the skillshot champions, my favorite Gragas. He's fluffy and has a lot of damage/mobility.
