League of Legends dev on LoL vs. Dota 2

Owen’s had an interesting chat with League of Legends lead champion designer Ryann Scott about Riot’s character design philosophy, the reason their entire hero roster isn’t free, and the differences between League of Legends and Dota 2. “Dota 2 is really true to Dota 1, that’s a lot of the appeal. But we started from day one to say that’s not what we want to be, he said “we don’t want to be just like our predecessors, we wanted to find ways to evolve that genre.”
