DotA: Death of the Ancients

[sapi]

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.

[sapi]

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

They changed the name?

[Meneldil]

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.

Unbalanced...only because everyone plays -em.

[Meneldil]

Or also, unbalanced because the whole game is based upon overpowered skill, items and heroes rather than teamplay and strategy.

Most people try to avoid playing with their allies, as it slow down XP rates. You just wait behind your creeps and cast a spell from times to times, until you have enough money to buy some flawed item. Rinse and repeat until you're powerful enough to one-shot a tower or another hero. End of the game.

Hmm...I seem to have made a mistake in the title, can anyone fix it for me?

As for the map, it is imbalanced in some heroes, but those overpowered ones do get nerfed in newer versions and the map isn't that imbalanced.

If you want to play against half decent people, go play TDA games where you have to prove that you are a respectable player to get in.

I dont see what you guys like about dota... the only good user maps in WC3 is medieval builder
