On the contrary, Dota is balanced because each hero has a niche that they accomplish. Dota heroes have much more powerful skills than their League counterparts. However, in Dota there are several ways to counter that specific hero, whether its counterpicks, investing in items, or running an agressive lane, you can always do something against a problematic hero. Also, comebacks in Dota are far for likely in my opinion because carries can carry much harder in dota, you also can't forget the numerous heroes that can destroy towers in mere seconds by themselves.
