And a much steeper and harder learning curve. DotA is a lot less forgiving, if you die you lose gold.
You can pull jungle-creeps to stack the camps(getting more monsters i 1 camp at 1 time)
Runes spawn in the 2 middle spots every 2 minutes, there are runes with Double damage, haste(522 movesspeed aka max movespeed) invisiblity, illusion(3 illusions), regeneration(regenerates hp and mp at a crazy rate and doesnt go away till you're fully regen'd or take damage) and such.
And, just picking up 1 item on 1 hero even if he isn't a carry can change the game, completely.
If your team has an earth shaker(Disabler/AOE nuker) and he gets a blink dagger, your opponents can't engage you freely anymore.
If your team has a tinker and he gets Boots of travel your opponents are pineappleed because he can split push like a pineappleing motherpineappleer(his ults let him remove the cooldown of all his skills at a high mana cost and there are boots that has the effect of a TP scroll=he's everywhere at once + his AOE let's him push so hard)
And some skills in DotA seem broken till you learn how to get around them. Doombringer's ulti has a 13 sec DoT with built in silence that silences items. It's crazy as pineapple.
And items and heroes get abilities that give bash which let's you stun, 2 heroes in the game are known for being able to perma-stun you.
Especially faceless void(25% chance of stunning and he's an agi carry which means high attack speed)
Playing DotA is a completely different experience.
Especially because everyone is equal at the game-start and everyone has access to all heroes. There's no such bullshit(this is my opinion) as runes and masteries, it all comes down to skill and not to who has better runes.
