But isnt that called something different? Like how league of legends is a 'DOTA clone', rather than a dota successor. And how games are referred to as 'Roguelikes' when they are similar to rogue?

A clone is when the game offers no real change from the game it borrows ideas from, a spiritual successor is when a game is made in the style of another but with added ideas, mechanics, or something else that actually makes it a new game.
That's just my opinion though.
