You know what, I'll be interested to have a look at whatever this is. The main issue I have with all these DoTA games was the extremely limited control. I always felt like there was a lack of strategy involved in them. I know this isn't the point of them. But I never felt the appeal of levelling a single character. Moving around, rinse and repeat.

WHat is interesting is that most of these DoTA games are positioned as a strategy game/RTS in which most in the genre involve controlling a large army(you become an armchair general not a single hero). But in the FPS genre, you are always only controlling a single character anyway(the exceptions are a few tactical games). In an FPS game, I wont have the expectation of having battlefield control like a typical strategy game.

I think this could mean less of the mental block I have for this particular genre.

No game has been announced taking content from DoTA. What are you talking about? All the other games hasn't taken content from DoTA as well.

BTW this game needs local servers if it is to be big. Having ozzy and JPN servers not good enough. Their skill is lower than the local dotard. And US the latency is too high. Valve needs to have local server or the local dotards will forget this game.!!!!!!! RAGE!!!!

WE NEED A BETTER INDICATION OF SKILL POWERRRR!
