Let me tell you this, LoL is easy to get into but hard to master, dota is hard to get into but easy to master. LoL takes much more tactics to play and all dota takes is mechanics. I played both and enjoyed LoL much more.
I am not sure I agree with your analysis. I play both games, and I'd say Dota 2 is more tactical and LoL strictly speaking. By tactical, I mean coordination and decision making are bigger parts of Dota 2. In Dota 2, it's overall more important to have a team that understands wtf is the goal to win.
League of Legends is more of a "fighting game" in comparison, which highlights the player vs player experience in MOBAs. The metagame is overall designed to be more stable so that laning usually lasts a while.
I personally enjoy League more by far, because it's a less broken game and the game designers have a clear vision as to what they believe makes an enjoyable player experience. In Dota 2, the developers honestly don't really seem to care as much outside of competitive balance. Cheese strategies are allowed, in fact encouraged in Dota more or less. And while cheese exists in LoL, it's by far much more manageable. There's few hard counters in LoL, whereas in Dota 2 you have to play around knowing what hard counters exist.
