DotA 2

Unsure of how Blizzard DotA will turn out. Do they even have anyone that made DotA on part of the team?

Sweeping generalizations tend to be incorrect sometimes! I used to be a League player, but now I am 100% Dota only. I would constantly get dragged back to LoL by friends. It’s the Super Smash Brothers of the MOBA community; fun to fuck around on, but when I tried to push that game any further than a casual level it broke apart and was terrible.

Most of the people I know that play League and have tried Dota 2 immediately shrugged it off because it was difficult, and because it wasn’t League (what they know and are used to). The game takes time investment, and the majority people will not swap over, because, well, why bother? Why get your ass kicked again? They’re in it to waste time, not analyze a game’s worth and get serious about it.

Not entirely Hawk. I started out on LoL and now i only really play Dota2 now. There will always be a few who will want to take that extra step.

The growth might not be as noticable as LoL but its there! Just gotta believe!

and LoL casters suck compared to Tobi, Synd, Puppey, 2GD!

Tobi is a talented motherfucker, for serious.

Sources looks pretty legit to me.

who’s hawk? If it’s cool with him, i’d really appreciate that. thanks for the links too…

edit: Damn. No techies yet… but i’m glad Dirge is an upcoming, he’s one of my best 5.

I usually get arcane boots, soulring, butterfly and health/armor items.
Techies, Tauren, Undying, Spectre, and Bear are my top 5.

Hawk made a post in this thread asking if someone needs a key cause he has one that he gave but the recipient didn’t make use of it. I

PMed!

You’re doing God’s work, savaii64.

EDIT: Sorry sektr, Cisco already PMed me about the invite. If he wants it, he gets it, but if he decides to pass for whatever reason then I’ll let you know.

I think what makes Dota 2 far more attractive to me is the art-style and heroes. LoL heroes are mashups of their DotA counterparts, but often look far less interesting. I’ll take Juggernaut over Garen+Fiora any day

Have you seen Blizzard’s Dota? In my opinion, it looks horrid.

I still play it. I don’t share that opinion. The looks of the heroes there are too sentimental to me.

Special thank you to Hawk for the key. All love bro.

My steam account is Super_Kevin_Costner. You guys can add me up…

I’m really hoping that TECHIES comes soon… Techies, Tauren and Undying are my missing favs.

Blizzards Dota != DotA in Wc3. It’s some new game.

There are already too many DotA clones. Why, Blizzard? Why? D:

I posted it already but I think everybody over looked it. There’s no last hitting, they want to make the average game last something like 20 minutes, and towers are softer targets(towers will actually stop attacking after it ‘runs out of ammunition’) Why do they even bother calling this dota? The panel starts at 22 minutes

It looks like a SUPER CASUAL version of a moba

Are there? And why is it even called “DotA clone”, given it has little to nothing to do with DotA? Honestly, the MOBA genre is lacking an actually good game.

Because they literally named it Blizzard “Dota”

So if I create an FPS and call it “Vulpes Dota”, you’re going to call it a “Dota clone”, too?.?

That’s literally apples and oranges. What blizzard is doing is taking an orange and trying to present it as a tangerine. Why even call it Dota?
