Because if it’s anything but Dota with a new coat of paint, then the community wont move to it. look at how the CS community is split between 1.6 and Source.
They wanted DotA off of the WC3 engine so they could actually make money and also have more free reign for future shit. The graphics rehaul and few gameplay improvements are definitely nice.
Out of the box I expect more features than LoL and HoN. It’s also a way more competetive game as its been established for so long in the community and gasp takes some skill.
I know AA is a strong intel, but it seems like the new AA is even stronger. I see him controlling a lot of battles with his skills.
na’viiiiiiiiiii
VALVE TIME BABY
game looks awesome and has the heroes i “grew up” with. at first i didnt like the overall hon look of it since i hate that game… but after adjusting my eyes a bit i saw that this is DOTA and plays like dota and i can actually tell whats going on. definitely hyped.

Haven’t really followed DotA 2, but I used to play DotA a LOT on Dota-league etc. Played it fairly serious for quite some time, and it would be really nice if DotA 2 gets super big. It’s a very good, fun game with lots of room for skill. Also it feels weird that apparantly so many play LoL and HoN, yet don’t know wtf DotA is.
my shit broke for a bit, i was watching game 2 and then see that na’vi advanced, did they end up pulling out game 2 or take game 3?
Na’vi 2-0 Scythe
