I have played DotA for 6 years and decided to give LoL a try because a lot people say it's more challenging and so.

Now, in DotA, I have been playing the role of Carry massively, does LoL include champions of these roles too?

And are there any easy-to-learn heroes for me to learn apart from Ashe? I still training her but decided to widen my options since she doesn't fit into every line-up.

Thanks!

Just pick w/e champion looks fun and have fun! The more you level, the better idea you get from LoL.

A couple of easy to learn champs would be: Garen, Ashe, Ryze, Caitlyn, Shen and Sona.

Miss Fortune is fairly easy to learn and my favorite.

Vayne is right now the best ADC, but requires more skill. Given your experience, shouldn't be that hard.

Varus and Caitlyn are also in a good spot, but again not so easy to learn.

Also, a Carry in LoL can also be an AP mid laner like Ahri, Fizz, Katarina, Syndra and the ever feared Kassadin.

There are to sorts of Carries in LoL: Either the Ability Power carries like Ahri or Lux and Attack Damage carries like Ashe. For AD Carries I would recommend you carries with a high range and a good ability to farm first. Caitlyn for example is one the carries with the highest ranges and her auto attack animation is smooth it's relativly easy to farm minions with her. She has got a "finisher" ability with her ultimate and a tool to escape ...
Actual Carries which are strong too: Vayne!, Twitch or Varus
Thanks to Ubnoxius for this sig!

In case you looking for attack damage carries, who rely on auto attacks:

Can't say much about AP carries, haven't gotent into the world of mid troughoutly yet. I'd generally follow GrandmasterD's advice to take a look at every role.

Go for anyone with the recommended tag. They are often pretty easy to handle and have simple it's to work with.

Who did you play in Dota? That'll help a lot in finding a champion suited to your style.

Some easy AD Carries would be Miss Fortune, Graves and maybe Caitlyn.
If we're talking AP Carries I would recommend Ahri, Lux or Morgana.
Or if you want to play with the big guys immediately then we have as AD: Corki, Ezreal, Vayne, Kog'Maw or Varus.
And as AP: Karthus, LeBlanc, Kassadin, Malzahar and Anivia.
