Dota 2 fans will probably get triggered by this, but honestly I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ anymore.

Dota 2 is a pretty bad moba, I'm gonna be comparing it to league (the moba I play more)

The engine that runs dota 2 is really poor, although I can't be suprised because it is after all made by valve. In league I can play on medium high at 60fps while the game still looks really good, in dota I run on barely nothing at 50fps making everything look like ass.
The fact all heroes are free is a kind of bad thing in my opinion, when I first played dota I played Rikki and only Rikki and I never had the feeling of trying out someone new; but since I started playing again I tried out a bunch of new heroes (Sven, Sniper, Spirit Breaker, jugg, legion commander). All the dota heroes feel overpowered but I guess it makes the game kinda fun. Couriers are a stupid idea in my opinion, the fact that you can get items delivered to you while still farming is kinda stupid; it gives people no chance really to push or roam and make plays.
In league there are a bunch of rules (Not always followed though) You would have a top laner who is either a tank or a brawler, a jungler, a mid laner who is a mage or an assassin, and bot lane would be an attack damage carry and a support. On dota I can just see it's carry,carry,carry,carry,support and maybe sometimes a jungler.
Secret shops are just outright stupid, I don't like how you have to walk to a secret shop just so you could buy 1 thing and complete a recipe or something.
There are no specials in dota like flash or teleport or anything, instead it's usually found in items; the blink dagger is just stupid in my opinion as it allows a fed ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ursa to blink like 20 miles and kill you with only a 20 second cooldown, a flash in league is pretty small and it's like a 400 second cooldown which allows junglers to gank them better as they don't have a safe escape.
All the heroes feel kinda dull to play too, I just prefer how alive and real the league champions feel compared to the dota ones.
There are way too many microtransactions in dota, announcers, terrain skins, hero skins which look like a single hat or something. In league skins can completely change the look of a champion as well as changing his or her callback and animations and quotes too.
The range of view is kinda stupid too, especially in midlane where a slight dip means you can't see ♥♥♥♥ anywhere.
Runes are a weird thing but I'm ok with those.
The monster in dota (forgot it's name) dire? Is stupid, in League the dragon and baron gives buffs to your whole team while dire drops a single item which brings you back alive when you die...
However there are things Dota does a lot better.
No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ pay towin runes in dota (I think)
Communication is a bit better as you can draw ♥♥♥♥♥ usefull information for your team, as well as the fact your heroes say a line such as "top missing" so that people that are busy in a fight or something can know.
However, the game feels easier than league, I was thinking I would need to be carried because I haven't played in like 2 years but instead, I carried 3/4 games and won 3/4 games. Going like 18/2/16 as Sven with a quadra kill.
Also a lot of dota players seem to be sissy's and just quit games whenever they start losing or cry in vc because they don't like the team...
This is my OPINION and if you think I'm an idiot for stating an OPINION then it's k.
I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ anyway.

TL;DR
It's good to read, might help you pass school ;)

I also agree with you in the way of heros. In dota what makes heros feel different is abilities, in legue its their entire asthetic that feels unique.

Hmm I havent played legue much so I can't say too much for their community but I found playing a support/caster much easier in legue than dota (I didn't have to stack camps or deny it was amazing)

I find Dota easier than league, but yeah; the league community can suck ass too. Especially in ranked, but on casual it seems ok.

Also legue would be hard pressed to have a more toxic community

All I can say for legue, its a simplified version of dota so if dota is too hard for you legue is a good alternative.
