LoL is to dota what sc3(yes 3) would be to bw.
Having said that it's a pretty cool little game that can get you hooked. Especially if you play with friends.

You did say though that you only played 2 games of dota and then gave up. Keep in mind that dota is a very rewarding game and you will like it more and more as your skills develop. So if you plan to play dota2 you should insist on dota1 a bit more.

Centaur, dragonknight, leoric, dirge, axe, bristleback and brewmaster are examples of tanks in dota. However dota isn't as rigid so there are viable strategies other than having 1 tank, 1 support, 1 magic dps, 1 physical dps and a jungler.

Play what you fucking want. I love LoL and DoTA. I have always said LoL = TF2, DoTA = CS 1.6. They are both fun games that you can enjoy. I hate all the DoTA > LoL or vice versa, they are fucking games enjoy what you want. Also what Chariman Ray said is point on.

Dota is harder, that's a fact. It's much more demanding mechanically, the animations are tougher, and skillshots are harder to use. There are "easy" heroes, but the thing about dota is that you have to be mechanically sound for any hero you play, and just have good game sense all around. Then add in the fact that just about all items have a use mechanic and once you get into the midgame you're gonna have 3-4 items that are dependent upon you using them correctly and there's even more depth.

With that said, I don't think it's a tragedy at all if you start out with LoL. It's fun, and most of the time you'll play a role that matters rather than getting carried by someone 5x better than you every game. Going around the map is easier, and hugging your team throughout the game is generally standard. It's also easier to keep your distance, brushes are pretty straightforward, and making items is really easy.

Also, despite being free, it's fucking stupid that you have to dump 20 dollars to get only 3 heroes in return. I don't know if dota 2 is gonna follow the same business procedure, but I highly doubt it considering all their heroes are free in dota.

From an avid dota player, LoL's skillshots are so crazy weird that it makes it hard for me.

It helps if you have someone explain the game to you. It's pretty easy to learn. A lot of people will yell at you, even when you aren't necessarily to blame or you're trying your best - just ignore them and be humble. Good luck

Why argue which one is harder? Who gives a shit? Tons of things in the world are way harder than both these games - why don't you go do that if you care about which one is so hard? Just fucking play whichever one you want for whatever reasons you want. Jesus, is that so hard? Do you people really need to justify why your hobby is better than someone else's hobby?
