Whats DotA?

 

[Kimbo]

this is dota...
a wc3 AOS map that is pretty average in the standards of maps that has been overrun by fantics and idiots...
here is the main site, there is at least 700-1000 members on at one time on the forum :X (you need to log in to view)

not only that, you have to have no social life, put your life into gaming, become dota fanatic... and fool that knows nothing about we and how dota is average aos

 

[Kimbo]

its a shame people call DOTA a game genre...

You can play dota, but when you ..just go too far...your worser than those wow addicts.

Ive only played DOTA, but man are you guys serious? Are these DOTA Fanatics really that bad? It sounds really strange :S

 

[Kimbo]

Yes, it really does get bad..
some people have even made a standalone game of dota..
1000 members on a forum at one time..
tournaments for money..
People calling a Genre "dota"..
Dota cafes..
yep, its all true. But there are worser things in life.

Well, they are, they play DotA the whole day.

I play DotA when I have nothing else to do or I'm really bored. I don't play DotA for a month or more now, and I don't even have v6.40.

Well, I actually had a positive DotA experience the other day. *Dota 3.7, since that's the best version on RoC.
I was playing Wc3, and noticed one of the Dota games didn't say "Omg," "Wtf," "No Noobs," or "Banlist On." I decided that that would, if ever, be the DotA game to play. For that entire game, only one person got called a noob, and that for TKing people. I didn't get yelled at by my teammates for not being an elitist, and I actually got constructive advice on how to play.
Once-in-a-lifetime game, right?

IMHO DotA is a good game. But it clearly doesn't deserve that much attention. There are far better maps out there that die out. The people who play it again are horible and iritating. They bash every one for little mistakes. Noobphobia? Probably. When they go out playing other maps they always ask if the game "is like DotA". Sure there are exceptions, I've met some myself but they are still quite few.

 

[HappyTauren]

[The_wand_mirror]
