An outplay in dota probably consists of buying an op item to counter their not as op item, or not using more than 1 skill so you don't run out of mana.
are you serious?
how can you make a hypothesis when it's painfully obvious you haven't even touched the game? You're like the media trying to make a coverage on video games without the reporter even knowing the basis.

Or in when s4 in TI4 dodged a stun coming from an invisible player despite having zero warning. Or look at heroes like meepo, invoker, puck, pudge, etc.
Dota mechanics and gameplay is more complex overall. There is a lot more flexibility in laning, you aren't forced into any specific laning arrangement, idk. Most people who say that Dota is a worse game haven't played Dota before. I've actually played league, and most heroes when compared to Dota are quite generic.
because after the initial heroes that were about 70% copies of dota's heroes, every other hero will be built on the same concept; skillshot skillshot skillshot. this also hammers into the mentality of the player that most of the skill in moba games is simply skillshot
i mean, that's cool and all that you have to click the ground to aim your shit, but it's no different in dota other than a few target spells where most (if skillful) can be dodged
simple games can be played competitively. Just because it's competitive doesn't mean it's not easier; having competition simply means that there is a population to compete against.
though mechanically speaking, dota is a lot more advanced because it allows more maneuverability.
towers are so strong in lol that it stops early game tower dives, basically EVERY game consists of 1/1/2 with a jungler
creep denying makes the lane more competitive as an alternative to zoning people
lane equilibrium doesn't even exist in lol
jungle juking? what's that? only got bushes m8
mana regen is off the charts, no need for mana control
free wards, teleport and no courier
could list a lot more, but the point is, is that even IF it's competitive, does not mean that it can't be easier than said game.
