EPTKind of strange that they take items, gold and exp away from the game, but still describe some heroes as supports.
Also, another company makes a game of the genre. Invents it's own term for it again. :D Jesus, this is just hilarious.

Apparently Purge played 5 games and said that. Someone quoted it here like 2/3 pages ago. | ||

Their definition of "support" probably falls in line with the healer classes in WoW arena--heroes with defensive/supportive abilities and disables not meant to be primary damage dealers in fights. EDIT: In fact, to someone who's not familiar with the genre and the low-farm implications of the word "support" in LoL/DotA/HoN, this understanding of the term is actually probably more intuitive. | ||

It's obviously not as deep of a system but you're still fulfilling similar roles depending on if the abilities are balanced as such. It can certainly work. Although as Purge pointed out after playing a couple of games it sort of brings up issues with things like comebacks. Without this really asymmetric character growth which Dota has and the ability to focus attention on specific heroes when they are needed it makes comebacks very difficult. | ||

I mean i guess we could talk about Paris Hilton, because if she starts playing dota that would be HOT What? Maybe I want to know the opinion of the community who play Dota on something? | ||

It makes sense to discuss the game in a context where others in the discussion will be familiar with the genre, compared to the Blizzcon thread. Conan O'Brien casting WoW is a different story. | ||

(that might be wrong, it's just my assumption) And they keep the hero "roles" in. I mean, if I wanted to make the dota genre more casual friendly, role differentiation would be one of the first things out. Especially before items and the gold system altogether. I dunno if that actually makes sense. Sure, well that's something that LoL already did isn't it? | ||

First, we’re going to ship Diretide with the next update. The rest of the update we’ve been working on is in final testing, and as each of us finish up our work on it, we’ve been jumping over to Diretide. Second, we’re pretty sure the update that we’ve been working on for a couple of months is going to be pretty significant. In addition, we’ve made a few changes to Diretide that we think makes it more fun than before. And while we always want the community to tell us exactly how we’re doing, this is probably a good time to stop cc’ing innocent car manufacturers with your messages. Paying attention to what is happening in the community around Dota 2 is one of the most important aspects of what we do at Valve. And while we are clearly not mistake-proof, hopefully it is useful for us to walk everyone through our process for recognizing and then fixing our mistakes. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee so excited! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD | ||
