User blog comment:Krufix/Dota2 - Is it REALLY so much harder than LoL?/@comment-72.88.226.120-20130121072433

This is such a terrible post. It reads of someone who played a couple of bot games. What were you thinking? It's an action rts where the standard of excellence is miles above that of LoL's, where anyone can pick up and play the game. You didn't even get the stats right. Or mention the interactions between different skills. Or mention how every hero has severe drawbacks in farming through last hits (Some better than others, some are almost required to use skills to balance out their power/gold income). You even left out the thing that separates the two games -- A mistake in league might push you out of lane, but in dota you can get yourself, your team, and your towers killed if you make the wrong decisions. It's a slower game, but there is a lot more pressure to succeed.

Also, items are NOT something you copy paste build. You can get away with it at low matchmaking rating, but if you ever climb a little higher, you'll start making really inefficient purchases that limit your usefulness as a hero. You can even be countered by the opposing team's purchases because item actives can be so powerful here.
