FYI, DOTA was a mod created by some W3 player (cant recall his nick) but abandoned his project. So, naturally DOTA should not be owned by Blizzard unless blizzard claimed it before valve.

The heroes design in DOTA 2 still based on Blizzard design..

yet Valve never give Blizzard credit for that..

Yeah. its really annoying when this nufag asociate steam with dota also.
"Eh, U play dota also eh? I see u got steam installed". I feel like to punch his face.
Anf they also never play AAA top good games of the genre like BF4, CoH, or Dirt2; all they know are obselete/mainstream peasant and kids game like counter strike, CoD, red alert and need for speed,

And these n000fucuk00b is the same usually have same characteristic : 
- measure graphic card performance by its VRAM
- Say Intel i7 is more powerful than i5 regardless (or have no clue about) of architecture generations.
- Banggala use intel i7, but it was mobile i7 of lowest end in the series.
- Say AMD proc is hot (Stuck in to year 2000s) , despite having no idea about OC or cooling headroom.
- Say HDD capacity will affect performance of PC in year 2015, and religiously believe RAM has infinite linear relation to performance (128GB ram ftw)
- Using pirated Windows and games

to be fair, most dota 2 playes wish there's a way to install DOTA 2 without having to install steam.

Why force us to install steam?

and Most AAA game titles are poorly ported from console to PC, do you prefer playing games that designed for PC like warcraft, starcraft? or a poorly ported game?
