While there are tons of other good answers in this thread, I thought I would throw together a list of similar playstyles (not: playstyles, not abilities. There are many supports in League that would work great as carries/cores in Dota, and vice versa. For instance, Bard has similar abilities to Faceless Void and Windrunner, yet plays more like Earth Spirit). There's a lot of champions and heroes, so some may be completely unique, but I'll do my best to compile a list. League Dota Notes Aatrox Anti-Mage jumps in, good damage, good chase Ahri Storm Spirit "come back here" ability, huge mobility Akali Riki invisibility, huge assassination potentional, gap closing dash Alistar Centaur Warrunner jumps on top of enemies, enjoys taking damage) Amumu Treant Protector hits huge teamfight changing ults, becomes utility after that Anivia Leshrac solid poke in lane, reliant on hitting stun for kills Annie Warlock great harass and lane support, game changing ultimate - even better than Tibbers! Ashe Drow Ranger auto attack slow, huge damage, very squishy Azir Invoker control-based mage, can poke you down or jump in and create havoc Bard Earth Spirit reposition allies, CC enemies, great at roaming Blitzcrank Pudge grabs enemies, holds them down, can be mobile Brand Zeus great AoE damage in fights, solid in lane, not very mobile Braum --- ---- Caitlyn Sniper stand faaaaar away, then snipe Cassiopeia Medusa late game carry with teamwide stun Cho'Gath Elder Titan ranged disable that sets up other abilities Corki Morpling(not Gyrocopter!) good chase potential and survivability, needs good positioning Darius Axe pretty much the same champ/hero, get in there and dunk Diana Templar Assassin does massive damage once on top of people Dr. Mundo Abaddon sticks to enemies, cannot be killed late Draven Clinkz massive damage, good chase, but easily killed Ekko Weaver gets on top of enemies, does sustained damage, has a panic button Elise --- ---- Evelynn Riki constantly invisible, seeks and destroys carries Ezreal Queen of Pain good poke, good burst, good mobility Fiddlesticks Witch Doctor bouncing CC, good sustain, teamfight wrecking ult (Old) Fiora Juggernaut farms a bunch, then wrecks teams with slice-n-dice ult Fizz Puck has bullshit amounts of mobility and dodge potential, ult changes teamfights Galio Disruptor has ranged utility, and an ultimate that locks enemies down Gangplank Kunkka constant obnoxious poke, good chasedown, both pirates Garen Necrophos huge sustain, constant damage, lockdown ult that does missing HP damage Gnar Earthshaker waaaay too much CC, waits for perfect initiation moment Gragas Brewmaster great survivability and on-top-of-you damage, disrupts teamfights Graves Luna clears waves like nothing, bursty ultimate Hecarim Spirit Breaker/Centaur Warrunner SB:comes from where ever on the map to chase you down CW:extremely fast initiation and CC Heimerdinger Venomancer drops units to attack for him, good CC otherwise, obnoxious to lane against Irelia Slardar great single target focus, can chase with ease Janna Keeper of the Light ranged poke and teamfight disruption, very squishy Jarvan IV Clockwerk gets on top of you then holds you there until his team arrives Jax Huskar goes in hard, gets massive resistances while fighting Jayce Troll Warlord can be ranged or melee, good poke, better on-top-of-you damage Jinx Bloodseeker gets one kill and goes absolutely ham, can still be focused down Kalista --- ---- Karma Shadow Demon protects allies or sets up kills for team, good poke, good chase Karthus Zeus farms in lane, hits R for kills later (except Zeus is viable) Kassadin Anti-mage goes OOM really quick, can chase well Katarina Ember Spirit goes in from range and hits one button and wins the fight.

Lee Sin Tusk great initiation and damage, locks down enemies and allows your team to do the hard work Leona Ogre Magi beefy support with great lockdown, stun a bunch and allow your team to kill Lissandra Puck ranged initiation, disables enemies and holds them in place while dealing good damage Lucian Weaver sustained damage due to double-procced auto attacks, good mobility but still bursted easily Lulu Oracle great utility, good damage, but primarily focuses on saving allies Lux Lina good lane harass, stun sets up burst combo, ult is long ranged and hurts Malphite Tidehunter almost entirely ult reliant, decent chasedown after ult is used, innately tanky Malzahar Bane find a carry and hold them in place until they drown in tears Maokai Undying great at weakening enemies while allies or other units do the work, absolute monster with ult up Master Yi Ember Spirit great AoE damage with huge chase potential and survivability Miss Fortune Luna good lane harass and kill potential, but reliant on ultimate of teamfight damage Mordekaiser Doom one dimensional and not very mobile, but can ruin anybody's day by hitting R then nuking Morgana Shadow Shaman great disable and AoE damage, ult dissuades enemy from fighting Nami Crystal Maiden very squishy, but makes up for it through great early game CC and huge ultimate pressure Nasus --- ---- Nautilus Tusk engages with ease, disables one target for an extremely long time, hard to kill Nidalee --- ---- Nocturne Night Stalker/Spectre NS:good roaming with great DPS, CC good for killing, inflicts darkness S:global ult pressure, great chase due to trail Nunu Phoenix does low damage in general, but ult creates enormous pressure Olaf Lifestealer thoroughly enjoys slowing people and auto attacking until the enemy dies, kited easily, fairly beefy Orianna Magnus solid lane poke, farms quickly, teamfight winning ultimate Pantheon Wraith King one-dimension playstyle of stun then hit, but a nuisance to play against Poppy Ursa very auto-attack reliant,massive damage reduction, screws over a single target Quinn Razor great anti-carry, renders enemies near-useless while dishing out massive damage through auto attacks and ultimate Rammus Axe enjoys being attacked, taunts enemies and deals huge AoE damage Rek'Sai Sven with a TP scroll?
