There is no doubt that the hard core community will stick with ice frog but I fear this will split the soft core community and hurt the DotA scene as a whole. Boo you blizzard. That's like saying anyone who makes a fantasy world is ripping off Tolkien. It's a genre of games, not to mention HoN is already out as a newer competitive version of DotA. | ||

(like iccup vs bnet) | ||

Now, adding heroes that could learn spells and level-up, with the same interface and gameplay as warcraft 3 itself, wasn't that big of a leap of imagination. It's also not as if IceFrog created DotA, he just maintained it these last few years. When there is already HoN, LoL, Valve's DOTA, to then act as if when Blizzard is creating a similar map it is evil seems silly. Originality means very little; whoever does it best is all that really matters in the end because that's where the players will end up. | ||

That being said, I'm super excited over this, because even though it may not be as polished as DOTA 2, this will still be a welcome distraction when im exhaused from 1v1 play and want to screw around. | ||

For many many years there was a clear tier of heroes, the best being pretty much AOE stun teams, along with blink daggers and such. He made a few heroes that were so badly balanced that teams didn't even have to waste a ban on the hero, because the tournament just made that hero unavailable.

Do you understand the term, "Metagame" | ||

HoN and LoL already split it sadly enough  | ||
