The only line that bugged me in that report was:

Actually, a better comparison would be to Blizzard's Diablo series, as the game offers players skill trees, and simple, mouse-driven combat that is nearly identical to that series.

Emphasis mine.

From what I saw warcraft 3 is indeed the better comparison as there arn't skill 'trees' (ala Diablo 2, WoW) more like skill 'lines' (ala warcraft 3, SoaSe) even though it is presented in a graphical form that would make the skills look like a tree, it is still basically the same leveling system.

(This is my WASD)

Yeah but I gave up on WASD.  You give up on wanting tree instead of line.

 

Instead we both say the skills need to be awesomer and there need to be tons of combinations that work well together better than the skills work alone.

There's the spirit! Synergistic skills are always fun.

I love it too.

I LOVE the idea of DotA, like when you describe it.  The attacking base, creep lanes, starting game at level 1 and leveling rather quickly, buiding your character.  I just dont' DotA's execution, and i'm betting you guys will make an amazing game out of the good idea.

So we're in the 'playtesting' phase now?

 

I know how you feel though, nigh becomes day, work becomes play, and all of a sudden you've got a game that'll rock everybody's socks. Well, I actually don't know that last bit is, why don't you tell me when you're done?

Ive showed this game to 5 friends I know and the first thing they said is "Is that a cutscene or real gameplay, and I told them that is using real graphics!

Thats also the first thing I thought, Cant wait until you guys release the beta!!!!!

Better do it soon before we Riot!

Okay, that sounded a bit like something you'd hear at a frat party, but oh well. I want my game!

Is not rioting once it's released mandatory?

Only if you're an english soccer fan. Otherwise, we keep it for if it's not released soon enough
