Garen Sona and Singed. Porbably because I've mastered Sona and Garen and I am close to mastering Singed.
The first time I heard Sona's voice at champ select I had headphones on. Her voice just reverberated through my entire body. She's also one of the most useful supports IMO.
Garen because I can just run through the enemies base and all 5 opponents and come out laughing as my team ambushes them. SPIN TO WIN KIDS!
Singed because he's the biggest troll in the whole game. Tanky as all hell with a powerful flip and just farts on everyone.

From Doto 1, it's Techies. Nothing beats the feeling of having total map control. Knowing that enemies are full of fear, that they think of you and curse you with every step they make. It's funny to dominate the enemy mentally.
In doto 2 it would be... well, I can't really decide. I like PA, Riki, Carl [http://www.dota2wiki.com/images/2/2f/Invo_spawn_01.mp3] and Death Prophet (dat accent is killing me!).

Oh dear...so many options....
In Dota / Dota 2 I have Invoker, Windrunner, Templar Assassin, and (heaven help me) Bloodseeker.
On a side note, can't wait for the Techies and Legion Commander to make it into Dota 2
In LoL, the list gets longer still. Vi, Riven, Renekton, LeBlanc, Blitz, and Wukong are my all time favorites, though the list gets longer every time I go back to a champ I haven't played in a while, so it could include all 70 of my unlocked ones. Except for J4. Fuck that guy.
Last but not least, I haven't played enough Smite to come up with anything definitive, but I'm definately a fan of Bakasura myself, and look forward to finding others I will enjoy.

Miss Fortune is super aggro and can push lane against anyone. If I get her on blue team with a decent support, that tower is history. Also, people don't realize how useful it is to use her ult to clear and entire wave of mins so yours can get to the tower faster and take it out. Her CD on it is low enough to justify it.
I used to love Teemo, don't play him as much anymore because if youhave a bad game as Teemo everyone on your team will hate you for it. His kit is great for sniping and split pushing, but everyone else wants me to play him AP (which is also good, but not my style as much).
Nasus is awesome top, but a lot of people can shut him down. Give him a good partner and he can hold any position, though.
I just bought both Amumu and KAyle. They're just as god as everyone acts like they are. Amumu is just so tanky right out he gate, you can gank into any lane as lon as you aren't really outnumbered and be sure you'll at least survive if not secure the kill for the lane. Kayle's abilities are such that you can use them in pretty much any situation (as opposed to say, Teemo, who just has to sit out teamfights). She'll never run out of mana because all her stuff is so mana cheap and her E that turns her ranged is so cheap and has such good CD she's basically a ranged out of the box. It's kinda funny, the very best LOL champs are either 6300 IP or 450 IP...(Ashe, Garen, Kayle)

Dota 2 is the only one I've played. I like a lot, actually. Not many are carries, oddly enough (or not hard carries).
-Clockwerk
-Rubick
-Brewmaster
-Wisp
-Shadow Shaman
-Keeper of the Light
-Luna
-Disruptor
I like to be using abilities, so pure right clickers are out (except Luna. She's an odd one).

Kog'maw, from LoL. I love the look of him, and I love his "mortar" attack.
Malphite is also a lot of fun, although I need to be backing up a good player or I tend to flounder.
Poppy's ability to knock people around and negate turret damage is awesome - but she pays for it with a lack of AoE attacks. Her blacksmith skin is also one of my favorites in the game.

Nami from League of Legends would be my favourite overall. Cc heavy support that can win a fight with both a big bang and with subtlety. He bouncing team to team heal/damage is my favourite ability on her. It's flexible and it makes you think about who, when, and where you want to use it more than most abilities. Makes her great for trading in lane as well and the movespeed passive is the best icing on any cake you could ever want.
For Dota definitely Spirit Breaker. Movespeed boosts and global range charge, whats not to like?

DOTA 2 player here. My favorite is Zeus, probably due to the voice. It may be as I'm somewhat able to play him well (for a noob).
Got a few actually, (LoL player here so they're all from that)
Kayle: Can play anywhere is the main reason why I like her, if for whatever reason I end up banning I can call Top and not be counterpicked 90% of the time. That and she's an armored badass with a massive sword used to smite people, and she has wings, did I mention the wings?
Katarina: Shunpo is just plain fun, marking everyone, then jumping in using your aoe then death lotus? waaaaaaaaay too much fun.
Got a couple others but the timer just finished and my match is starting

In terms of playing, I have quite a few favourites. Invoker is extremely fun, Rubick isn't as complicated, but still not even close to being easy(to bring out his full potential, that is) and possibly even more fun, because dominating enemies after getting Hook and watching them rage about how their Pudge hooks worse than Rubick is priceless, Ogre Magi is a lot more simple, but once again, watching people rage about me only getting 4x casts is lovely, initiating with Clockwerk is awesome, or just hookshotting a running enemy, and Enchantress is really fun to play as a right-click carry. She has huge damage, but you can't just walk in and kill shit easily like Drow or Phantom Lancer, you need to position yourself as far away from the battle as you can to do maximum damage and to make sure that you don't get hit, because you die instantaneously.
As for lore, hands down Rubick.

my personal favorite is zilean from LOL. its just soo funny to clutch ult the carry and watch him get back up and tear everyone apart.
I is sad that HoN is not mentioned =(
Also surprised that Smash hasn't shown up yet.
OT: In Heroes of Newerth, Pandamonium and Thunderbringer [Dota's Zeus] are probably my two most used. Pandamonium for his pure physical skillset (BKB? HA! I stun through BKB!) and Thunderbringer for his ability to put out 2000~ AOE magic damage in a single teamfight. I have been playing Wildsoul a bit though [Lone Druid] because so many competitive teams are picking him, I either have to use up a ban on him, or pick him up.
In Dota2, Necrolyte and Chen. Necrolyte because people just expect him to support even though he's a carry (He really is) and I love pissing people off like that. Chen because so few people can play him well. And he's SO FUN! =D
In LoL (yes, I play all three, COME AT ME BROS), Lee Sin and Ziggs. Lee SIn because Bruce Lee, and Ziggs because BOMBS!

From LoL:
Volibear: Because you would hardly find anyone willing to tank so you might as well pick the coolest bear ever with an amazing fling and passive.
Caitlyn : Because landing that ultimate is so satisfying.
From Dota 2:
Sniper: Because I am learning the game and he is pretty much the definition of training wheels ,2 passives ,one of which when fully upgraded lets you out range a TOWER and has an easier to land and shorter cooldown version of Caitlyn's ultimate.

Dota2 Top 5: Crystal Maiden, Visage, Puck, Lina, Juggernaught.
LoL (no longer a player, but still have my favourites): Kayle, Morganna, Sona, Taric.
HoN (no longer a player, but have one all-time favourite): Sand Wraith.
Yeah, that's right. SAND WRAITH.
I'm interested in SMITE, but haven't gotten around to downloading it yet. It won't take me away from Dota2, but it looks interesting and I'm sure I'd develop some favourites there as well.

My first champ in League of Legends and the first I accomplished everything with
First ace
First Penta
Level 30
Sadly I rarely see anyone else play him well..

Dota 2 player here, and I have a few favorite A-RTS characters, if I'm honest.
[sub]I refuse to call them MOBAs. It's such a stupid acronym.[/sub]
=======================================================================================================================
At least, that's what 90% of the Riki players I come across do. The less-than-useful ones, that is.
You're not one of them, are you? Surely not, right? Right?!

Perhaps not my favorite-favorite, but often one of my go-to picks if I'm to play "all serious". He's a fantastic support character, especially for pushes or ganks, can play as a semi-carry should the need arise, is really good mid, and has arguably the best level-1 ability in the game.
Tinker is fantastic. He's a phenomenal pusher, amazing nuker, can have universal map presence on a whim, and can snow-ball with the best of them. Being able to absolutely abuse the sheep stick and being voiced by the same actor who plays Issac Kleiner help as well.
Not really the most effective carry ever, but damned if he can't snow-ball by late game if you're not careful. His ability to steal attributes and buff his own attack speed and damage can be devastating late game.
He was just recently released, and I foresee a potential debuff on his ult, but even so I'm thoroughly liking this hero. His ability to switch between melee and ranged, on a whim, and his various abilities mesh well with one of my play styles and make him a boon in team fights. Plus, he can solo Roshan almost as well as Ursa, if not better.
Witch Doctor is often my first pick if I need to play as straight support for the team. He has an amazing set of skills that allow him to both heal and output a decent amount of damage. He also has arguable one of the best stuns in the game. I've already soloed two or three enemy heroes, killing all of them, simply by stun-locking them with his Paralyzing Cask skill and popping his ult. (Plus, WD with Mek, Urn, and Arcane boots pretty much negates the need for any allies to return to the fountain. Ever.)

So you sit on the side-lines waiting to either jump in and kill-steal or prep to run away when things go poorly?Daystar Clarion said:

I love using Riki, his play style suits me well.
I slide between sunbeams.
