DoTA is incredibly complicated, and has more compounding interest towards tactical strategy + gameplay + teamwork + skill execution, more so than battle royale.
In battle royale, if you played awful you just die. Then you start a new game. With DoTA that death impacts your game in the long run, putting your team at a disadvantage, since you just fed their carry. But comebacks do happen though
Going to DoTA TI:2 internationals, where all the major esports teams compete is different than anything else you've ever experienced.
Its like going to the superbowl. Except, everyone knows how to play football, usually on an average / above-average level. But, instead of a few hours, its 8+ hours, for 7+ days. It gets EXTREMELY intense, just because you because you can relate to how difficult manuveurs are, and it isn't dictated by things like how much weight you can squat in football (For faster sprinting / agility, etc). There's many little minor mental and physical gymnastics that DoTA2 pro players do 100xs better than your average player.
Comparing this to Fortnite competitive mode, its not the same. Its more closely tied to watching something with less strategical depth, such as tennis. Tennis is still exciting for its own reasons, but its mostly skill based execution, and mostly a solo game. Even if you played 2v2.
I watch both fortnite and dota2 competitive every so often
