Similarities between characters in mobas is nothing new, and is bound to happen sooner or later. Even so, your comparisons are far-fetched.

The only thing similar between Illaoi's Q and Earthshaker's is the animation. In that sense Mega Gnar's Wallop is far more similar as it also stuns, but none of those abilities are close to being a "rip off".

There are tons of aa modifiers in both LoL and dota, and Illaoi's and Earthshaker's are not the least similar other than belonging to the same category of abilities.

I don't know puppet master, but near identical abilities will exist when the concept is interesting enough. And from how you describe it, there are more differences than Zeus ult vs Karthus/Nu Wa ult or Pudge hook vs Blitz/Sylvanus.
