Dota has a much more strategic approach to macro game. Creep denying, wave equilibrium, camp stacking, pulling, runes, wards and tp costing money etc.. There is a much more pronounced emphasis on economy compared to league. Map is also considerably bigger and has a lot more points of interest, expanding the gameplay out of lanes. Items are more varied and have much more interesting tactical uses. It's safe to say it's much more of a strategy game than LoL but that doesn't necessarily mean it's slower phased. Games usually last longer than LoL and need more effort and investment from players. In the early game of LoL you mostly play on your lane with one guy occasionally ganking but Dota's early game is much more intense since there is a lot going on both on lanes and outside the lanes. Heroes can also have multiple different builds thanks to facets,talent tree and various item choices. Also there are some really unique heroes like the wisp Io, who attaches itself to a hero to empower him/her but is very useless by itself. Or Treant Protector who can freely move through trees invisible and is mostly vulnerable outside it. How can we forget Invoker, who can create spells in Magicka style? I don't know much about LoL heroes but their complexity usually translates to more AoE damage, more stun, more damage etc.. the things all heroes already do. Also, Dota2 looks infinitely more beautiful and stylish than LoL, where every female hero is a hottie or a loli and every male hero is a jacked badass or an ugly abomination. Animations are much more crisp, engine works much better. Did I mention that all the heroes are completely free and accesable to everyone right from the get go?
