I think people play LoL because it's free (u dont need wc3 or a beta key) and alot of their friends just play it. LoL is a trash game (IMO) and I hate how Riot deals with LoL (besides supporting ESPORTS thing). Riot makes a OP hero every 2 weeks and makes everyone buy it. Then, the hero gets nerfed and another OP hero comes along. Rinse. Repeat. There is no metagame if the company keeps patching constantly.
I hate the fact that u have to buy heroes, experienced players have distinct advantage, and THERES NO FUCKING DENYING.
DoTA on the other hand might have new heroes but they don't get introduced to CM pool because they are tested out for weeks and months to make sure they're not truly OP.

One thing LoL does well is attracting players with its easiness but DoTA is definetly the way to go for anyone who's even slightly interested in competition.
Sorry to bash on LoL

I've played LoL (and HoN), and it's honestly a piece of trash IMO. Dota really takes the cake for being a very well mechanically-designed game.

The beauty of dota is something that cannot be described with words, the best I can put it is that it's a game that rewards you with your actual experience with the game itself and by that I mean mastering the cast range and times of different skills and heroes. Take Pudge for example, it takes a fair amount of practice is know the absolute length/speed of the hook, movespeed of enemy hero, your cast time, area, and terrain to land a hook.

I think the one misconception in regards to LoL is when people watch it they think it's really boring and wonder why people play it, but you need to realize that the competitive play and pub play are MUCH different. You'll always have a combined 40+ kills before the game ends, even at high levels.

I tried watching many LoL tournaments but I really can't figure out what the hell is going on lol, mainly because of the graphics >_>

playing LoL seems more okay on the eyes though, but watching it is just.... t.t
