User blog comment:Krufix/Dota2 - Is it REALLY so much harder than LoL?/@comment-5734931-20130121193811

DotA is has much more mechanics on environment and damage on most abilities is fixed. But for exampe there exists no cooldown reduction and no ability power for charakters. You got no summoner spells, but more items with actives, which are mostly more unique than in LoL, imo.

DotA and LoL arent easy to compare. They are different games. But you always have to have in mind, that DotA was there before LoL, its the first moba and without it, LoL would never have existed.

better to compare are Smite and LoL, does anyone plays this?
