Dota began as a user-made modification for Warcraft 3 and has grown into one of the most played online games in the world. Following in the tradition of Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Team Fortress, Portal, and Alien Swarm, Dota 2 is the result of Valve hiring the community developers who built the mod and giving them the chance to finally build a full product out of their idea with the help of a professional team of developers and artists at Valve.

As for the gameplay, it’s a little hard to describe. The camera is set in the traditional RTS perspective, but it wouldn’t be fair to call Dota an RTS. And while each hero starts at level 1, and many times hits the level cap of 25, it wouldn’t be fair to call it an RPG.

Lots of people have tried to assign various genre names to Dota, but we think Action RTS is probably the most descriptive. And while we don’t spend a lot of time trying to figure out what genre the game is inventing, we can’t stop playing it internally!

Oooff. It's both depressing & frustrating to be on the receiving end of opponent Ogre Magi's constant multicast. It's like every single fireblast he cast went DING DING DING DING DING! If this was the old day of WC3 Dota, I would have checked my map to ensure that it's not a bugged map.

Hmm, funny thing I experienced in one of my games....a Ogre Magi manged to multi-cast Fireblast in every encounter....I've to recall which game it was that this happen...however this was back atleast two or three patches ago when they introduced Luna and Wisp... Not sure how that happen but it seems like it was a bug in the game.

Not sure if you experience something like that, cause when i last played Magi it didn't happen to me.

Yeah... something along that line. My teammates were asking each another if we should report the Ogre Magi player LOL. Well, I'll just take it as lady luck smiling on these 2-headed creature & somehow the player himself was wasting his luck in Dota 2 instead of hitting the slot machines up in Genting.

Ah,alright. Mind if I take a look at your replay, I wouldn't mind seeing what that Magi build for himself.

Hopefully can see if it's a bug or it's just lady-luck's way of saying "Come at me Bro" to unlucky players XP.

u mean that kunkka hat ah?
u got wat wan trade with me

Sure, go ahead. Match ID is 25422857.

Nothing impressive with his build to be honest. He got a pair of Arcane Boots, then Dagon before going for Bloodstone. No Aghanim at all.

No surprise, a game i played yesterday, OM got non stop MC from 20minutes onwards. At one point he got triple kill at 2 carry and 1 initiator (tanker).

Evaluate based on wins or ? Interested here 

Win/lose rate is irrelevant. Entry requirement is a will to improve and the ability to withstand verbal torture. 

i use core2duo+DDR2 2x2GB ram +GTS250 also can open ultra setting in 1900x1080.

hmm i need go back check first, last time i remember i open max to test graphic...

it is FAR more LIGHTER than you open MAX in TF2

Yaloh, win/lose rate is irrelevant.
If really want to take win/lose rate, it need at least 50-100 match to see.
eg. my luna only played 12 matches, but I got 10 win 2 lose, the winrate is about 83.3% but I think after I play 50-100 matches by using luna, I sure I will not have 83.3% winrate.

Verbal Tourture!!! haha

too bad my result
