So... you can equilibrium farm in LoL just like you can in Dota if you get lucky and the creep waves happen to start in the enemy's favor. Doesn't really seem that great.
That's not really a matter of "luck" It will happen several times over the course of any given game. It's just a matter of recognizing when it's happening and acting accordingly.
In fact, similar to zoning, you could say it requires more skill to freeze a lane in League due to the lack of denying. Which is actually preferred to me, as it gives you something to do during laning that is more involved than looking at lifebars and last hitting. You take a trade off of it not being able to be done at all times cause of denies not existing, but it's a worthwhile trade to me. That's my whole problem with denying actually-- it's a kind of interesting mechanic on its own but it makes a lot of other things a lot easier to do as a result and to me makes laning a lot less interesting generally. I will admit that DotA games will be more interesting to watch generally early game because of this and especially ganks being easier, but that doesn't mean it''s less interesting to play. It's kinda like Marvel 3 vs SF4 in that regard. Only sickos watch SF4 streams cause the footsies are kinda boring, but when you're actually doing it there's totally an argument for being the more satisfying game.
