DotA: Death of the Ancients

For those who don't know of dota, it is a whole series of warcraft 3 use map setting maps that have 2 teams of up to 5 hero battle it out along with their creeps as they try to destroy the opposing team's ancient.

Any members here play dota? For this who have warcraft 3 but don't play it, I strongly suggest you get the latest map 6.43b from here and go play some custom games online.

My favorite hero happens to be Azwraith, Phantom Lancer. I know they nerfed his images down to 15 secs, but he is IMO one of the best if not the best pushers in the game. Azwraith + Manta = Dead Towers

If you want a mmo, go play a real one...

No offense intended, but imo it's one of the worst maps (and definitely one that attracts the worst players) around

Bah @ sapi.

DoTA is awsome! Dragon Knight is fun :nod:

For High Damage high regen go Witch Doctor. Base damage is incredible.

Oh, and is there any reason the title is 'death of the ancients'?

They changed the name?

Well, I have to agree with sapi here. I played a lot of Aeon kind of map for W3 and W3FT, and DotA is probably the worst one.
Badly designed, poorly balanced, filled with 12 year old idiots. The only interesting feature is crafting items. But then, everyone tries to craft the same overpowered items, so it turns out to be kinda pointless.

Not nearly as much fun as Tides of Blood (another Aeon kind of map) or the good old Europa Universalis and Lord of the Ring maps.
