Is DotA overhyped?

I dont blame you guys for hating it, ever since Allstars came along, I've seen more immature idiots playing. Granted theres still some in other map types but DotA has the most. If you farm a lane, level too fast and can tank the whole enemy team, they banlist you for it. Its sad that a map which started out so great under Eul's production, is nothing but an overrated fad. The only hilarious part is, its the only way some of these lame 12 year olds who thing their gods can actually "own" anyone older than them. Allstars is like a 400lb fat guy in a small hallway, you cant go around it, under it or over it, so your stuck behind it, being held back from discovering a method to get rid of it. But with the fat guy, you just butter him up and kick him down the hallway, wish we could do that with DotA lol

I used to love DotA back when Eul was runnin the show. But once all these other dipwads moved in and started turning it into a world wide event, it started to suck. You ended up with self proclaimed pros at it who couldnt even name a spell from the map, then you have the damn thing getting bigger by the day...why do we need a 3mb AoS anyways? Why does it need sounds for that matter? I can understand a footmen war cuz thats like an arena setup and I can understand an RPG, but an AoS? Thats like Composite Santa, you have no idea why hes there, but he still creeps you the "duck" out (Yes I censored myself on purpose)

First i knew dota as a boring game,then it became a game that was to much in the game list ... then i started to be curious and when i first played it i didnt rly like it .. still dont get what ppl just see in it!!!!

how could the simplistic map called DOTA be the most popular map!?!?!!?!?!?!?

I think, I'll be one of the bad guys ...
I enjoy playing DotA, but only with mates, and no more any public games,
they are just a waste of time ... e.g. mode -ar (allrandom) and when the first guy leaves game, cause he didn't get his favorite hero, so only with friends, and not for skill or WIN/LOSE ... just for Fun ... but it's important not to lose the control, like any addiction, as so often mentioned for WoW etc.

Hold you opinion, in whatever you believe ...

Because i tend to find so many NerdnoLIFEpeopleWHOnevergoOUTSIDEtoappreciateLIFE AkA DotA Elitests.

I find that the host dies 12 times, you die one, he makes you look like the shittiest player ever. theres always someone mocking someone for buying the wrong item. The games last for hours on end. Banlist is jsut stupid, now because people are using it on other maps.

I HATE DOTA. Takes absolutley no skill. You get to lvl 10, you have already maxed 2 spells. Some hero's are IMBA and some are so bad they aren't worth playing. People make racist remarks all game, i have never played a quiet/peaceful dota game. Its always EM and never DM. Only reason i do play DotA is for DM, because i don't mind getting a new hero each time, yes im halfy controdicting myself, but i do hate it, only play DM games my friends make to help fill the slots.

Please don't over react,im a good dota player and i have gone througth that frustrating experience.Usually people that hate dota are newbies that didn't played more than a week and stopped because they got pissed off,i must agree thougth that public dota are gay,i get first blood and the player that was playing the killed hero leaves 60% of the time,and once one player leaves the entire team leaves due to 'uneven'.Banlist is quite unuseful because you do a simple account change and your ban charge is removed :bored: .Most of public people are bitches(thats the exact word) and try to make you pump up because you have died one time and say you to shut up 'cause they got an higher score than you...Now i only play dota with friends in my team because im not able to withstand too much public people.

Dota isn't a bad game,it's the community that play it that is bad.

Well, now Battle.Net will empty. First because of WoW, then because of DotA. At least no more overmass of DotAs.

:confused: ,WoW isn't equal to Warcraft 3:

Warcraft 3:RTS
WoW:MMORPG

Personally i hate mmorpg,because mostly of the game you do soul-less grinding(Yes,i got a bad experience with silkroad online,the most long mmorpg existing),and make people bored after level 20-30-40.

And i don't think Warcraft 3 will empty soon,because its the only RTS where you can play 12 players without lagging,unlike age of empires 3 that can only have maximum 6 players,at 6 players,it's lagging very hardly.

Warcraft 3 will only start to decay when a new 12 players RTS with a complete world editor will come out.



And why hating dota so much?Because the guy who made it had sucess?

Thats his profile on dota forums,his name is IceFrog not SinFrog :wink:

I personally dont care if anyone stole dota from eachother. All the dota stuff is stolen anyway, models/icons/sounds/spells, even the terrain at one point. And with no credit to their authors! Where does it end?!

Sorry i haven't saw your post,let me answer to it:Most likely,the only credits ever on dota maps are for beta testers.

I don't think we can say "he had success", if he had success, no one would be complaining about DotA.
And IceFrog didn't exactly steal the map, I think something happened to Guinsoo, some even said he had died, however, I'm 99% sure the map was given to IceFrog.
About Eul's and Guinsoo's situation, I don't know.

My solution :
In the darkest night we will all meet, locating icefrog and cutting its fingers off (preventing him to work on it, releasing a new version).
Second part, we will delete every dota map located on its computer with a deadly virus that expands and destroys every dota map that is detected.
-> GG ?

Your sight of dota is pretty right in most cases, though i mostly dont play public dota anymore, but if you feel u got the time, visit #Dotapickup.euro or #Dotapickup.ap @quakenet "irc" and u might get another prespective on the game... No harasments, alot better system then "banlist" to sort out shitty people.

Entering people computers and deleting stuff isn't big deal but i don't think icefrog is too idiot to let his computer info fly into the net and get hackers on his comp...

Why deleting it,lets stole the unprotected version lol :grin:

Agh i aint creating my map to acctualy DEFEAT dota because it is impossible but at least i made a 'better' map ... that totaly crushes dota on gameplay area and variarty ..

Well there is allready many many map much better than dota, Land of Legends 2, Eota, and much other i played much more elaborated. But maybe we should try to work the subliminal picture to make it better :)

Well, Ubisoft is making it a stand-alone game. Then Battle.Net will be free of the goddamned retarded kids. However, it's obvious that some people will not want to play DotA as a stand-alone game, and those will probably stay on Battle.Net.

This will probably bring up only 1 DotA from time to time on the Game list, or, at least, less than those we see everyday. After 3/4 of the DotA Community moves to this stand-alone game, we will be free to get some of these last DotA players to play other AoS maps. At least, that would be my strategy for those who want to make a Down-With-DotA map; let the majority of the people leave and conquer the territory they've left lightly-guarded! After all, Warcraft 3 is still a strategy game^^
