I was playing dota, and asking if any people had heard about it.
Pretty much no one had. Maybe 1 of out the 9 other people in half the games.
I don't care though. I hate DotA.
The controls and movement are clunky.
GuildWars has realllyyy solid combat for an auto-target game. It's the only autotarget game that "Felt right" to me combat wise.
DotA annosy the crap out of me with me losing my selection of my hero, and stupid pathing making my hero go back and forth, and ugh so many things.
Not to mention the damned hotkeys.
And the heroes and items themselves..
The ONLY good thing about dota is the core gameplay(kill enemy heroes to deny them money and xp, get xp and money yourself. Control lanes, push, keep your enemy from getting the benefit from the shared xp on the lane, the backdooring) and strategies for winning. There is a lot of depth there, and that's the good part of the game and why it's a competitive game.
But the controls, ui, etc are so bad. This is largely because it's a wc3 map-mod.. And the balance is pretty BLEH.
