I honestly feel like creep denies make laning less involved. I feel like League is more zoning heavy/aggressive in lane due to creep denies not existing, which is more satisfying and I could argue makes it more deep.
Instead of just kill stealing your own minions you actually have to work to force the guy out of the lane if you want to deny him income. That's not to say lane harass doesn't exist in DotA but I think it's a more important part of League's play. Ganks also take more effort to set up in league for various reasons which further drives home the need for proper zoning-- you could say that makes it "easier" but that's all a matter of perspective of ganker vs laner.
