Dota 2 is completely different because everything has a counter, the items especially, like Black King Bar, makes you immune to spells to X secs depending on use, there is nothing that comes close to that in League. In Dota, everything is OP, which makes nothing OP if you pick/play right. In League, they try and make nothing OP, and by doing so, certain champions for X duration of time are seen as the strongest because League doesn't have counters for everything like Dota does.
Oh I feel bad for all the champions who have never been viable in top level play. There are plenty you will rarely if ever see. Using the excuse people can make it to the top of soloQ but not actually make it into a competitive match which is an entire tier or two above soloQ is hilarious. The answer to overpowered champs isn't nerfing them until they are useless.

Let's look at characters you will not see being played competitively on a top tier team anymore because of their nerfs. Actually only 41 champions were picked last LCS split(or was it the one before).

Now Riot does reworks on champions that are considered "anti-fun"(yes, removing even more mechanics in the game making it more like bloodline champions) than considering making the other champions on a level with the most picked. They would rather nerf everyone until a nerfed character is considered strong again so they can nerf it again.
