Yes, my little imformations about DotA (particularry DotA2) came from that ~half year period of playing and stream watching. While I noticed that many champs (heroes I think they are called) are really strong, and spellcasters techincally need no items to be effective, In my period of watching DotA I have not really seen a single comeback, but the stompfest of a fed carry and great initiators/CC providers in the same team (maybe the only comeback I've seen was by Navi due to their Lone Druid getting fed and a fantastic Dazzle play). About the CC, a good initiate prevents the enemy from using a single ability, and any carry can just grab a BKB and laugh in the face. Or have the already strong teammates finish the enemy team. About the global objectives, yes it's true. About the lack of metagame I'm not sure, as they still have some sort of, but it's less organized and sometimes more chaotic.
