Sproink.
I also like just how big and boomy the spells in dota are, LoL ones are always pretty weak and "meh". And i like not having to buy heroes. And the larger selection of items that are activate-able.
And atlas you'll want to try nyx assassin, He's a pretty awesome ganker.

Tails knows what's up.
I like LoL over DotA because League feels more responsive, probably because we don't have turning times, and slightly faster average ranged autoattack travel speed.
And the shop is so much easier in LoL to find items for what you need.
I just played a game as Shaco and lost (19/11/13) because bot lane threw so hard (10 deaths in first 10 mins)
was a longish game (40 mins) and I had BD'd so hard, the pressure must have been so high for that team.
Jumping under a full turret, pushing R, W, RMB and watching it drop is the best feeling. I got all the way to the second nexus turret before the game ended :c

Well I can agree the LoL cliffs aren't really cliffs but theres some pretty cool spells out there, not to mention S3 has a lot more activate-able items, oh well I guess its just preference.
Also were u playing when riven came out?
She's probably one of my favorite champions

Dota 2 has 2 types of store layout and search bar, You can also put items in a little box on the side so you can just right click the picture to buy them at anytime.
There's a pretty awesome Comparison here too, Which is pretty much correct.

Also i think the brush lol has is pretty stupid, What's the point of trying to hide in an area that says "Hey people hide here"?

Oh, I know. I've played enough DotA2 to know what I'm up against in these. I really like the game, and if they did a couple things which I mentioned in my last post I think I would play it more than LoL.
I hate the store in DotA, I know how to work it and find the items I want but it sucks compared to "I want some AD, and I want some health...." *Checks health and AD box* ahh, these items give me both of those stats...
But to each his own I guess.
Also: DoTA doesn't have a real meta yet because it's only year one, but one day a meta will likely be formed.
And the meta isn't even important in League really. I won a game going 5 man gank bot for 1 min then 3 mid and 1 bot one top. *shrugs*

Erm, Dota2 is the same game as Dota1 so it had dota1's meta. Dota2 has also been public longer then a year.
