All of the above are just poor imitations of the original MOBA that started it all. It's called DOTA ( Defense of the acients ) and it originally came out as a free Warcraft 3 mod.
Valve picked up the DOTA license and is releasing DOTA 2 ( the modder that made the original DOTA is now onboard the DOTA 2 devs team ) either later this or early next year ( it's already in BETA for quite some time ) and I think it will be the MOBA that will rule them all.
Valve already organised a huge tournament for DOTA 2 called The International a while ago, where the prize for taking the first place was a massive check of 1 million dollars ( yeah, you heard that right ). The tournament was won by the Ukrainian team called Na'Vi.

You know LoL is running ~50k tournament every month for the last 2 years, along with a shitton of online and smaller LAN's. IPL, IEM, NASL, the Koreans OGN Champions summer thats aired on TV over there.. The huge 1million tag wasa publicity stunt plain and simple, they havent hosted anything else since, its all been small pots organised by players. LoL is the only current MOBA with a season and large tournies often.
LoL took DOTA and made it into a different game, its similar but different.
Its the reason i have the DOTA2 beta and LoL and only play LoL. If DOTA was just better, i wouldnt be playing LoL right? ^^
The map is smaller in LoL, summoner spells, runes etc dont exist in DOTA, the metagame is different (how its played.) etc there are many things to distinguish it.
The DOTA2 beta has a huge amount of people in it right now, which caused HoN (heroes of newerth) to fail, it was a DOTA clone, they aimed to just outright copy it, it was even £20 to buy for a while, couple that with a free to play competitor and its daddy getting a haircut (thats all dota2 is, they're changing nothing.) and it flopped badly. Its had to switch to a free-to-play model, every major tournament has dropped it and its pro-gamers have moved on to dota2 or LoL.
LoL is no poor imitation. :p
ON TOPIC: After 6~ months of WoW and clearing hardcore raid content 13/13 pre-firelands cataclysm, it really is boring. I didnt even take their ressurection scroll for a free faction, realm change and instant level 80 character. I have the email sitting in my inbox for it, i just cant be bothered. Its a huge timesink :D

Valve made the 1 million dollar tournament ( that wasn't the total prize pool, it was just for the winner. I think the total prize pool for the torunament came close to 2 million dollars ) while DOTA 2 was still in BETA. I can guarantee you you'll see a lot more official DOTA 2 tournaments once the game gets officially released. I'm also pretty sure the game will get the support from the competitive MOBA community and professional leagues in no time.
If there's a developer that actually supports its community, that's Valve, although I'm still waiting for that damn HL2 Ep 3 to get released and am slowly losing my patience >:(.
For me it doesn't really matter which game is the best ( was just expressing my opinion based on what I saw ) since I never played Lol and sure as hell won't ever play DOTA 2, cause I rly suck at multitasking :P , even though I did play the original DOTA a bit when it was released as a WC3 mod and managed to have a bit of fun in the process.
Anyway, more good quality games in the same genre/subgenre means more healthy competition and in the end that can only benefit us as PC gamers.

Dota2 will be popular no doubt.
But LoL remains much more accessible to the public, let me tell you as a LoL "veteran" (by that i play alot and in ranked games doing ok-ish ^^) i have dota2 beta, and when i play it i barely have a fucking clue what to do.
Its bigger, alot different and harder to understand. Not to say that it requires more skill but its difficult to understand is all. This is the mindset of many too :p
Add on that LoL is free-to-play and Dota2 will likely cost upwards of £20 it appeals to the casual playerbase alot more. Dont need to pay? Dont need 50 games to understand? Dafaque im in!
After all of this, i still think Dota2 will be the next competitive Moba, wheras LoL will claim the casuals and larger playerbase. This is because on so many of the gaming / competitive sites, LoL is looked upon as shit, Dota2 is looked on as the next messiah, It has the support of the players.
LoL has the support of Riots wallet, all those tournaments are funded directly by the company itself. Put it in a bidding war with Valve i dare you.
Nothing explains the 70k+ viewers big LoL tournaments get or the 20k+ viewers player's streams get though, perhaps the casual playerbase will keep it alive ^_^
