Why call it dota? If it wasn't called dota we would have no problem, but they cal it dota even thou it's as casual as it gets and fairly lazy it seems(no attackspeed might as well be lazyness on their part ) and has less in common with dota than LoL does.
Has anybody here ever played the game Demigod? it's part of the dota genre if you look at it from the most basic level: creeps from 2 bases fight each other in the middle of a map and heroes must push through towers to destroy the enemy's main building.
but beyond that, it's a completely different game. no lasthits, the ability to upgrade your creeps, capture points, etc...
that's how i imagine blizzard dota will be. Don't get me wrong, Demigod was a fun game, just A) not "dota" and B) not competitive. and according to that video Blizzard's design philosophy has neither of those goals in mind.
*edit: is there contention over who owns the acronym "dota"? I know guinsoo has "Defense of the Ancients," which is why it's dota 2 not defense of the ancients 2, but blizzard doesn't seem to be the type to share names in any way (remember what happened to World of Starcraft?)

Blizzard owns DotA-Allstars and Defense of the Ancients, which Guinsoo gave them. Valve is trying to get Dota 2.
Is this the source of the legal crap between Valve and Blizzard?

EU damn slow to come back to batrider (they were playing him before) after his damage bugs were fixed. weaker than in dota1 sure but still damn good against a lot of lineups. nice to know mouz trying out more dota1 heroes, because they couldve beaten EG but werent too experienced with morphling use

rumor: fatal bond + midas = instant kill?
Fatal bonds has a damage cap in dota 1 and i assume that same applies for dota2, other wise thing like purge/axe ulti/aa ulti would also be insta teamwipe
we should be happy blizzard didnt get to make dota 2.
If I had to create the worst possible Dota clone I can imagine it would look a lot like this. They should not be allowed to call it Dota.
Yeah, and the asian guy talks like it is based off of LoL not DotA, he mentions after killing 'roshan' that instead of getting a BUFF you get a guy pushing mid lane... :|
So I'm starting to get into that phase where I can effectively farm all game and play hard carries and holy fucking shit is this fun. It's a lot more responsibility than I'm used to, but just played a Void and OD game in SD and it's like...early on I get stomped on, but once I get going it's just so much fun. I still love support, but god damn what have I been missing.

Oh yes of course. It's rather dull most of the time, but I like the new challenge. I'll probably in the end just gravitate back to my support loving, but for now, I'll 1v5 teams and get it out of my system

Its hard to believe that blizzard designed a dota game that is even easier than LoL
I think something not many people are bringing up is:
"We don't want people to get mad at each other. So we've removed kills, deaths, assists, and all that and just replaced it with takedowns. . .Everyone gets equal payment for taking someone down"
EPT
) and has less in common with dota than LoL does.
