DOTA2 is definitely more skill based than LOL. LOL removed the denying mechanic for no reason which removes a lot of the skill in the laneing phase, all the towers are much tougher (AKA easy mode in WC3 DOTA), the map is symmetrical (you can debate whether this is a good or bad thing but dota's is very Asymmetrical but still very balanced. Oh and dota looks much better :P
BTW, are there any low level SEA tournaments? And is anybody else having the lag issues I've been having?
PS. I've got 1 dota2 key to sell for $15 if anybody is interested.
