The variety of mechanics in Dota 2 is fundamentally different than those in League. Dota 2 has a bunch of bizarre effect mechanics, while League has a lot of movement and skillshot mechanics. If you're just looking for the first, of course you're not gonna find Vel'Koz very interesting - all he's about is different types of skillshots. There's a lot of strategy in that, you know - finding optimal ways to hit your opponents with those new types of skillshots. I believe different types of damage (physical, magic, true, hp) and how you counter-build that is also something that League has and Dota 2 doesn't, but I'm not that well-versed with Dota 2.
