I only played one game of DOTA 2 and I couldn't really see how it differed from LoL (haven't played that much LoL either). Three paths, towers, heroes trying to kill each other, land the last hit to gain gold, buy items, level up. They're basically the same game with different heroes.

That's like saying Call of Duty and Halo are the same game. You're speaking from the point of view of someone who doesn't understand the games, which is fine.

 

Am I wrong in thinking the map is basically the same though? (Serious question)

You're kinda right truck. LoL was entirely based on the original Warcraft 3 mod called DOTA. One of the founders of DOTA branched off and made League of Legends. There are some major differences at the moment but the core gameplay mechanics are the same.

Also DOTA 2 is just DOTA but made with a new graphics engine and some other changes, however the gameplay has for the most part stayed completly intact.
