based on the rules about submission:
Originality
Resources should be unique. Largely similar resources, such as icons or skins that are hue-adjusted version of each other, simple reskins that don't change the shape of the model, or maps that are effectively clones of each other, such as most LOAP and Footman Wars maps, may be rejected.
so that means no, DotA clones aren't allowed to be submitted here anymore

As long as it's sufficiently customized from the template, you can upload it.
This doesn't, however, mean that the map won't be rejected. The maps section has some standards after all.
 
I downloaded a template online then I added some custom heroes, spells, items, and other stuff. I'm not done with it yet but before I finish it with the purpose of uploading it hereon Hive, can I upload maps like this? :eekani:
Yes it's fine, if you changed more than 40-50% of map content.
 
No you can't. It's sort of copying/cloning.
Give man a break.
Map is uploaded and even named DOTA TEMPLATE, it's published so people can use it.

I just stated above that he need to edit around or above 40-50% of map (tempalte) content to make sure it's different from any other already edited.
