Ignorance is bliss.

Saying Dota and LOL are games that are very much different is saying that a St. Bernard is very different from a Poodle. Both have common similarities, but have their own differences as well. Both are in the same genres, they are even more closely resembled compared to newer MOBA games coming out.

What you are comparing are games that have nothing in common in theme meaning they aren't even in the same genre of gaming. Like saying that a cat is a dog. And vice versa.

Comparing them isn't nonsense, because let's admit it, DOTA is one of the reason why companies did try on the whole MOBA business. Dota is an inspiration but that doesn't mean they copy everything in it, because if you can see, one is more casual/stream-lined than the other.
