Lol champs similar to Dota 2 heroes

Hey guys. I used to play a bit of Dota 2 back in the day and when i got into league I kinda felt like Dota's heroes were a lot more creative than the champs in lol. Here are a few examples that come to my mind Chen- Chen could permanently take control of up to four jungle creeps and could use them to gank,farm, etc Meepo- At certain levels, Meepo could activate an ability to divide himself into more Meepos. If one Meepo died, they all did, but used together they had great potential Phantom Lancer- PL created copies of himself while in combat. The copies died in one hit, but the copies could create more copies and, well, you get the idea Lone Druid- Lone druid was accompanied by his Spirit Bear who could be controlled seperately within a certain range of LD. Essentially two champs in one Alchemist- I just love this guy for the creative work behind him. Alchemist is a little genius dude atop of a big burly fighter.

A lot of dota champs have been brought over to lol (Corki/gyrocopter, Drow Ranger/Ashe) but i think some of these ideas would be cool in League. In the end though, I have chosen League over Dota for a reason, and League can remain as is and i will be happy.

The similarities in design exist because the same people worked on the creation of both games. Steve Feak "Guinsoo" helped create League of legends after working with Icefrog and others to create the dota you know and love today. (That is simply my rough explanation, please no one start attacking me over petty technical stuff)

Aside from asthetic appearance there are no champions that have anything majorly in common with dota heroes save for maybe 1 skill such as Master Yi's Alpha Strike being nearly exactly the same as Sleight of Fist from Ember, or Karthus's Requiem being very similar to Zues's Wrath. There is nothing like PL, Meepo, or LD or Chen.

If you like to play right click heroes, like Clinkz, Drow, Sniper, then youll like to play ADC. If you like Nukers like Death Prophet and Storm spirit, pick up playing AP or AD assassins like Talon, or Ahri. Hard Carries like Medusa, Spectre, Void that play for late game? Go for Ekko, Jinx, or Nasus.

If you enjoy trolling with Techies, play Teemo.

If you like to play a 4 position or hard 5th position, play jungle or support.

There is absolutely no heavy micro management like Meepo, Chen, or Enchantress.
