LoL doesn't have items that you can use for skills, that adds a huge wrinkle to the game. LoL items are only used for stats and things like life steal. You can't turn the enemy into a sheep, make yourself invulnerable to physical attacks, blink, magic immunity for 5 seconds, move the enemy with force staff. There's so many of them. These items are used to counteract the enemy skills and cover up your own weaknesses.

False. They have those items, though not many. For instance there is a nuke item in the game right now. Looks like a voodoo head thing.

not sure what item you're referring to, the only items that do anything are all passive, that's not really the same thing. 

It's still a good game in its own way, but it just feels like dota-lite, it is kinda dumbed down to give everyone a chance.  Everything from the start when you can't see what heroes the enemy team is choosing.
