LoL has no elements of Pay-to-win, you may be getting confused with the fact that you can buy betters runes from level 21+ and give you some advantages and the fact that you can unlock masteries from level 1-30.
But matchmaking will always make you play again people against your level.
you have to buy champions and runes but there isnt a "stronger" champion, LoL has too much Balancing so no one is a super carry like in dota2.
To each their own but i love both games.
Technically its Pay-to-win but it really isnt.

oh yeah, most definitely lol, love the fact you can actually "collect" in Dota, league its just skins and limited edition skins, but dota you have to find or use chest to maybe have some luck and get those really rare items.
and Keys are so addictive to use
"omg, ONE MORE till i can complete this set, just ONE MORE KEY!"

They are similar in the fact that they are both MOBA style games, but gameplay wise... not even close.
I must agree that league of legends has always been user/noob-friendly, It would be wrong to compare the two games
they are both amazing

I wouldn't be surprised if I were wrong, but can you clarify how runes function?

but to have enough money to buy champions, runes, AND rune pages (you start with 2)
is almost impossible.
I have over 1500 game in LoL and i still havent unlocked everything.
Havent spent any IRL money yet.

Right, but you don't need to unlock everything to be competitive and win games. I didn't have rune pages set up for the longest time and won ranked games.

Dota2 looks intimidating when you approach it, but once you tackle it, as long as you dont mind the beating you will do fine.
League is just MetagameMetagameMetagameMetagame, hardly any room for creativity but it is a fun game if you like to play casually.
Protip: League revolves around Flash.

Right, "won ranked games". If you want to play competitively and have every single advantage that your opponent does, you need rune pages and runes.
That is a mindset of at 1100-1400, if you are anyhigher you either got lucky or got carried and will soon be dropped down to the ranks where people have 2 rune pages and only "main" one champion in one lane.

I was 2.1k in S2 so if you need any tips or coaching let me know, I can teach or play with you a few rounds to show you things that you may have not known at your current level, not meaning to sound cocky.
Feel free to decline, streamers are very good sources of learning.

Sorta. The runes only really help early game. I went a long, long time without runes and did fine. I have a pairing in bot lane that almost always wins with a buddy of mine.

Thats the thing, LoL the more you play the more you unlock stuff. But realistically you really gonna grind that many games to have enough cash to unlock that character?
Dota - its trying to keep the old school gaming sense of everyone has same playing field item wise and hero wise. To win it boils down to pure skill and teamwork. LoL has so many minor elements that "enchance" gameplay to certains players thats the model of free to play but pay to be better games. Look at the majority of Play for free games, they all involve real cash or insane ingame grinding to get "better" items. The grind in dota is to get better aesthetic unlocks and becoming a better player. its just like CS - pure skill, no frills.
Inbe4 anyone says it : Dota has the highest learning curve of all games and very competitive and probably will reign in E-sport scene with SC2.
