I like LoL better personally but I had a pretty bad experience my first Dota game! I've been playing LoL for about a year now, tried Dota and BOOM I was bombarded with people telling me I sucked...in a begining bot game...I was confused.

The same would happen if you switched from Dota to LoL. You're probably already good enough in LoL not to hear those things but both games have community that won't spare you any details of how sucky you are, if indeed you are even slightly inferior to the rest of the team.

LoL is better in my opinion. FYI, I played lol more than 2500+ games over last 3 years and I'm currently around 1600 elo.
Why: It has a much more active competitive scene, you can watch streams of top teams competing every weekend. And personally I think lol graphics look better than dota2. Well I played dota1 years ago for a really long time till they released 6.xx versions, I liked the 5.xx maps more and as you might know they were designed by guinsoo who's now working for riot...
Cons: Terrible online community. You will face ragers, flamers, trolls like every second game u play in solo queue. But if you have a competitive team, decent high elo or enough friends to play together this will not be a big deal.
Btw I think both games are very similar and there are only a few differences in items, champions and game mechanics. I think both of the games have similar difficulty, I wouldn't call dota2 harder. It depends on which level of opponents you're playing against. Any 2k+ elo player in lol can easily show you the hell if your a casual player.
Also I think dota2 is more beginner friendly coz you can play all the champions which takes more than a year to unlock in lol... You might need to play at least 600+ hours of lol just to unlock enough champions, get necessary runes and reach level 30, before that it's just a completely different game against a bunch of newbies..
Your opinion will differ based on your experience, expectations and skill level in those games.
If you're aiming to play a highly competitive game with tons of online/offline events and high quality streams to watch 24/7 and if you can handle tons of raging from random people lol is the game you're looking for.
If you want a casual game with high potential of competitive play and more friendly players, also if you don't care about top players/tournament streams, competitive scene of the game dota2 might be the right choice.
Finally I have to say since LoL is not on steam and sg is a steam community, we know which game is gonna win the poll..

What's the point of saying "LoL is better, FYI I have played it a lot" ? Wouldn't it be more sensible to say "LoL is better, FYI I have played both games so I can state a useful opinion" ?
Your knowledge about competitive scene is not up to date and probably biased, aesthetics is completely personal thing and your understanding of game's difficulty depending on availability of heroes is just purely wrong.
And in the end it all comes down to personal preference and I have even no idea why I'm even commenting in this thread, good day to you all!

Of course, LoL is your favourite and thats why you try to put it in a good light. You only have 22hrs played on dota2.
LoL looks better? you cant even compare them because they have totally different graphic styles. LoL has like the World of Warcraft comic-look, while dota2 looks more "realistic".
They are very similar because they are both MOBAS. There are minor differences like dota2 denying, dota2 runes, LoL runes, LoL skill tree etc.
I had much more problems to learn dota2. In LoL its pretty much just CS and spam all skills (most of the time, because you just can and have enough mana)
It has more competitive scene? please get your facts right, there are a lot of dota tournaments all the time, once a year the international and community tournaments aswell. There are also enough dota2 streams from pros.

I played dota1 more than I played lol. I disliked it after 6.xx ver maps and it's already explained in my msg. Guinsoo was the game designer for dota before 6.01 map version and now he's working for riot, no wonder I like LoL graphics more than dota2, already said that's my personal opinion...
And my knowledge about the competitive scene is up to date. I don't want to argue about how easy/hard lol-dota is. The game itself is not hard but you're playing against human opponents so the difficulty changes based on enemy team's skill level.
Anyway most of the things i said are my personal thoughts and some are the facts. If you aim to become a pro/semi-pro/ a high elo player or if you have a team to play together, enjoy watching streams/tournaments a lot lol is a better choice. Otherwise for casuals, dota fans, people who can't stand raging random kids dota2 is your game..

What ever you say.. Your knowledge about the competitive scene is clearly not up to date. It doesn't make any sense to argue anymore.

lol haven't seen such stupid posts in a while.
LoL's competitive scene is pretty much non existent
what exists are teams that are pretty much paid by riot to play their game
The International in DotA 2 offers the biggest pricepool for DotA right now, but there are still many tournaments, which are sponsored by external sources, lol doenst have that, thats why riot had to up the yearly pricepool to 5 million, because they cant keep up with the competition DotA offers and they need to pretty much buy all the teams this way

i really love LOL and i have played it from allmost beta, b4 that i was playing dota1 and i tried hon too, now i have dota2 but lol is better than any of this games. dota2 is uncomfortable to play and hon was too fast and strange game. dota1 was great game for his time and i love wc strategy but now i prefer lol.

FUNNEH, ofc Dota is better, LoL is just for noobs that can't play real game!!
Small maps, slow gameplay, childish graphics, levels are balanced so you are ALWAYS the same lvl.
Dota big maps, fast gameplay, great graphics, and if you go of the lane, you lose xp and gold, so you suck later:)
No deny in LoL, LOL.

I consider LoL gameplay to be faster than in Dota 2. Also maps? Like plural? Only one map in Dota 2. inb4 hate: I voted for Dota 2 but still play LoL for Dominion.
Either way, both games have horrible reputation because of childish comments/reaction/behavior like yours.
