Never played it. A streamer I used to watch who'd played a bit of DotA and a LOT of HoN (which is way closer to DotA than LoL is) explicitly said that because tower damage is so high in LoL, it discourage early tower diving. He claimed that early on in a DotA/HoN game you'd see loads of towerdiving.

Just watching it, it's pretty noticeable the differences in damage they do.
