In early 2012 Blizzard sued Valve for only using the name DOTA (2 actually) becuase it got used with Warcraft 3 TM soo much "they grew together" (or something like that... Full description ) and now they are at court. So these things might actually happen. Like EA has NFL so noone uses the names except them.

As for the designer..... Well I can tell you I never played DOTA only my friends did (computer wasn't strong enough). But anyone can find these champion spotlights which i linked just as easy.

As I said before W + E + R are good and unique. Q is just a copy. It is a good copy but at the end is still the same. At Lulu they asked the same (Lulu = Sheepstick) and there the designer admitted that the mechanic is a copy from DOTA. It is not a shame but you should not deny it.
