^DotA2 is not owned by Blizzard, Valve bought the DotA team, which the DotA team still practically runs the game only with resources provided by Valve.

I do find LoL has its flaws mainly thanks to the meta, and unfortunately for Riot, tweaks in numbers can take away from FotMs but not really counter the meta, resulting in cases of overnerf and total unviability in some champions and a new FotM to take over as the new winning champion.

Hecarim's nerfs should probably have been in the early game more than throughout, meaning tweaks of skill-per-level scalings. His late game is somewhat balanced already, but he does stomp quite well early game.
