Not really though. Some abilities and such were similar from the Warcraft 3's DOTA, but that's as far as similarities go. DOTA 2 was more notorious for ripping off and Blizzard already lost that battle.

In this case, it's blatant rip-off though. I mean, Dinger, Tomee, and Vy with likeness to LoL's Heimerdinger, Teemo, and Vi AND play similar?

They literally stole the community website responsible for making Dota what it was, as well as stole multiple characters submitted by the community for Dota, particularly Teemo and Rammus. Maybe not technically illegal but EXTREMELY scummy.

They aren't suing due to the gameplay. There's plenty of autochess/battlers around
