-Everything is fun when playing with friends, so that point is nulled.

-Dota has much better quality than LoL. Valve has been doing a much better job balancing the 118 heroes, it has better visuals, better written lore (that didn't need a retcon), the store gives much more playstyle options, you don't have to pay to get any hero, it has a wider variety of modes (and none of them are for a limited time) with interesting concepts (for example, 5vs5 with one changing heroes everytime they die) and shows much more originality, creativity, and versatility among it's heroes, both gameplay-wise and concept-wise.

For example, they have a dragon with 2 heads, one of fire, one of ice. The ice one focuses on slows and has a stun ability. The fire one focuses on DPS. Among the other 117 heroes, none of them has a playstyle even remotely similar to that one's, even including the other ice users and fire users.

Meanwhile, in LoL, we have big balancing problems every week, a company that doesn't even take it seriously, WoW's level of visuals, a lore so terribly written they needed a retcon, a store that despite it's many options nearly every champ will always use the same items based on their roles, you need to use IP or RP to get a hero forever, only 3 always-available modes with unoriginal concepts, and each new champ has less creativity than the one before them, and not just concept-wise, even gameplay-wise. Oh, and then there's the tribunal that just bans everyone no matter what actually happened.

-Smite is actually kinda mediocre. Horrible balancing issues, the characters look kinda meh, and a good number of their abilities seem a bit too similar to some of LoL's champs's abilities. Too much to be a coincidence. And the lore is almost non-existant too (there's supposed to be some war among the many gods, but you would never ever know that). I only said that it was more fun, which is true. The different gameplay is refreshing, the gods are more fun to play as, the victory/defeat animations for each are fun and awesome, and the fanbase is somehow less cancerous. I'm not saying it's better, it isn't, just saying it's more fun.
