I came from playing the original Dota 1 on warcraft 3. I played that for many years, almost mastered every character.
Anyways. I'm brand new to LoL. I've played a couple games as Ashe but I don't really like archers in MOBA games. If anybody could help direct me to a champ or champions based on my likable play style it would be greatly appreciated.
I enjoy playing a melee support/tankier hero with a lot of crowd control and stuns.
I enjoy a character who can go invisible for a brief period of time or teleport or blink to surprise enemies and open team fights.
I enjoy a melee hero that has an ability to pull an enemy towards them.
I enjoy a caster with mediocre nuking ability but strong defensively.

I know there might not be any champions that match my play style, just what i've been used to in Dota 1

These are just a few, I am pretty sure I missed some.

Ryze definitely suits your second criterium, and probably your fourth as well. On top of that, he packs some minor CC. I would definitely recommend taking a look. Tahm Kench might also be interesting.

EDIT: I also second the Nautilus.

You have different playstyles so it's really hard to mention the champions that you like, you have to sort them out, kind of^^

You can always check the different champions in your profile and take a look at their abilities maybe you will fall in love with some of them.

My point is don't pick too many champions at the start that way you can learn how to play the game and step by step start adding more champions to your champion tool :D
