Dota 2 is usually believed to be more balanced, but I just hate the UI. The controls are unresponsive, and it's so easy to accidentally click your map instead of the ground and just send you going in the opposite direction getting you killed. There is also no way to change map size or to swap the map to the other side.

Also dota2 in no way has a better community in any way.

Thank you Miss Maw, CasterMaster and Arcana3 for the sweet sigs. I'd definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a nice sig.

Dota is fun to play, just there are too many random things affecting gameplay. Whole heroes are based on RNG, like ogre magi. Also, there's some stupid delay, wherever I play dota i have same feeling as if i was playing on pbe, with 220 latency. It's so unresponsive.

DoTA 2 is still in beta and yes, it is a way better game than LoL season 3, but not LoL season 2.

The delay is called the turn rate of the heros and it is different for each hero. Some abilities, such as Batriders sticky napalm slows it further. The unresponsive feel is a hold over from Dota1. Dota2 is designed to be as true a graphically updated game to the original as possible. It takes a while to get used to it. If you prefer instant response, give HoN a try, its the fastest of the 3 main MOBA titles.

I didn't see how DOTA2's community was any better. When I played I was playing Brewmaster every game because he was the only hero I knew the abilities for. I was supposed to "support" every game, but eventually ended up getting every kill and my team raged at me. I was raged at for not knowing how to micro the stupid courier, or Brew's ult. (Micro is stupid) and yet I have no Idea how to play this game really, and Im carrying the team.
Balance was also questionable. I felt like everything was balanced until I got kills, then it felt exceedingly one sided. Atleast in League, when someone gets fed, generally you can focus/kill them or if it's a tank, ignore them.

Brewmaster felt like S1 Jax. Yay Dodge, yay free crits, yay tons of damage, did I mention his ult sends spirit things out that take damage for him? Im not saying hes imba compared to other heroes within DOTA, but it felt pretty damn imba compared to League.

really, there are some models that look completely different from the wc3 unit, yet some that look exactly the same.
