DoTA is way more stale than LoL- in DoTA there have been about ~3 new heroes since the release of DoTA 2 (not counting delayed hero exports from DoTA). That is sad since I used to play DoTA before LoL existed and they used to release heroes more often when they had far less resources and game engine constrains.

I do, however, agree that DoTA 2 has a better ping system, probably the best one in MOBAs now.
