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.

Re: DotA: Death of the Ancients
Honestly, I'm not trying to be patronising, but how is attempting to join a community that discriminates based on skill for a single map going to get you with half decent people?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.
If you want to play with nice people, play with your mates...or play another game...

Re: DotA: Death of the Ancients
In the dota community, there is a very large problem with people either purposefully ruining the game or more commonly, leavers. Public 5v5 games easily last from 45-90 minutes so lots of people just leave in the middle of the game most of the time ruining the game. If you can play TDA games, that means that you are not a leaver nor purposefully ruin games and that you are at least not completely new to the game.
If you complain that there are too many stupid 10 year olds playing the games, it is the same for almost every online game with starcraft and WoW to name a few.

Re: DotA: Death of the Ancients
You made it sound worse than M2: TW in terms of imbalance!!
Anyway, most of your "complaints" show that you haven't actually played it, or got the hang of it. Because if you did, you'll know it's anything but "You just wait behind your creeps and cast a spell from times to times, until you have enough money to buy some flawed item."

"Cry, the beloved country, for the unborn child that is the inheritor of our fear. Let him not love the earth too deeply. Let him not laugh too gladly when the water runs through his fingers, nor stand too silent when the setting sun makes red the veld with fire. Let him not be moved when the birds of his land are singing, nor give too much of his heart to a mountain or a valley. For fear will rob him of all if he gives too much."
