This is a blog I made a while back comparing the two games. If you want a ton of unbiased (or at least, as unbiased I can be) information on the two games, check it out.

I'm going to have to disagree. DotA in general is a lot harder. Those "stat" differences - LoL is actually WAY simpler. You failed to take into account that DotA has all of those stats LoL has, but in a more archaic system that provides less clarity to the player unless they already know how the game works.

I also disagree in that you "need to know less" just to win a match. You could argue that for both games, but once you move up to the average / above average gameplay, you'll realize both games have ridiculous amounts of things to learn and master. The difference though is that DotA has even more - again, check my blog for more information.
