There are 3 main 'devs' of dota in WC3.
Eul was the first, he created a lot of pomegranate in regards to the map and so on, kind of the father of dota if we don't count AoS as the true father.
Then comes guinsoo, he basically took heroes from a lot of different dota games and added them together into what was then known as dota allstars. Guinsoo implemented roshan(Roshan is the name of guinsoo's bowling ball) and recipes and tries to act as though he was behind creating 75+% of the heroes. He wasn't, he copied them from others and changed them slightly, not to mention that barely any heroes today are anything close to what they used to be.
Then comes IceFrog and takes a more serious approach to the game and the competitive scene starts growing, IceFrog listens to his community but doesn't let the community dictate the changes or heroes(Puck was a fan-made hero for example) almost everything dota happened on one forum called DotaAllstars. The forum becomes big, like absolutely monster big. The game grows happily and IceFrog primarily listens to pros as to what they think, and he tends to create batpomegranate insane ideas and then kind of just tweaks them untill they work. Then pendragon is hired by riot, shuts down DotaAllstars since he was the host, promises to reupload all the forum sometime soon within a few weeks, meanwhile he puts LoL advertisement everywhere on the site. Years later the data still hadn't been re-uploaded and when he finally does re-upload it multiple things are missing, primarily in the hero idea and item idea section. This is a huge pineappleing reason as to why dota players are hostile towards LoL, because pendragon shut down their site and replaced it with LoL advertisement, he basically burned the bridge between the two games, sadly.(He could've transferred ownership, even when he re-uploaded it he was a plantain about it).
I have absolutely nothing against LoL myself, but i know where a lot of the hate originates from.
These are the kind of gems that were lost for years:
Along with a lot of guides that actually still hold true today, like warding spots and pomegranate, there was even a zeus guide by merlini ;_;
Also heroes aren't just made stronger to find bugs faster, it is also often because he implements a new mechanic(Like spell steal) and because the mechanic is new to the game he makes it stronger so he can see how he should tweak it and what things about it makes it too strong compared to everything else. He's done that forever. Zet on release was the most broken pomegranate i've seen in years :
