I played both LoL and Dota 2 for many years.
I found LoL to have the more hardcore competitive scene. Much stiffer meta required team gameplay. LoL is extremely repetitive, extremely stiff meta play, and very very unforgiving on strategy changes, build changes, and lane changes and lane failures. This makes top tier competitive play VERY BORING when everything has to be textbook from the item builds to the teamfighting to the jungles etc.
I quit LoL because it was too meta intensive in regards to 5v5 team fighting, jungles, and ganks. etc Everything is so much more punishing in LoL add the heavy reliance on 5v5 meta teamfighting and its an extremely difficult game to play at the top tier.
Most people I talked to moved to Dota 2 from LoL because LoL was too hard in the sense that it is repetitive, strict, and punishing and required too much reliance on teamwork and 5v5 teamfighting. I could list 100 aspects of LoL that make it more difficult than Dota.
I will probably check out HOTS thanks Gasoline for the feedback as an ex-LoL competitive player.
