Housepets!

Well folks, DotA 2. not sure if I'm excited yet, but Valve is making the next DotA game.

thoughts anyone?

Hopefully it will just pwn HoN, LoL and all the other copies, remakes and whatever you'd like to call them!

I really enjoy LoL though I swear people at my ELO are incredibly dumb. I'm upset that Valve attempted to trademark DotA since there is much in the way of prior art and usage. I look forward to trying it, but I'll probably stick to LoL.

Is that an MMORPG or something?

It was originally a mod, or a map in Warcraft III.

RTS game :p

RTS?
(Is completely clueless)
Real-Time Something.

Real-time Strategy.

Basically, you control a hero, you're max of 5 in a team, you're aiming to kill the opponents base! :3

BASIC summary :p

Its a team based multiplayer RPG based off of a Warcraft 3 mod Defense of the Ancients. It has a very distinct gameplay. I find it very different from anything I had played previously. It's fun if you know what you are doing. Knowing who does what and having a good team composition is very important at higher levels. It'll be interesting to see how Valve will do the matchmaking.

I will probably keep an eye on DotA 2... But I am not that exited.

It is fun... However, DotA being... Pride-centric kind of turns me away... >_<

LoL was too uber serious to me, so I doubt I'll be liking DOTA 2.

Personally I want more original content out of Valve. We have too many mods turned into sequels with shiny graphics and steam support. I want the next figurative HL.

And the next literal one? :3

I'm...I'm truly sorry...this is the first thing that comes to mind when I see DotA.
