LOL, omg H@H@, love your post about the different genres DOTA could've belonged to. Classic.
I vote to close this topic because it is pointless and argumentative. And as you've pointed out 'this topic is obviously the thread starter's attempt to piss off the local RTS community'.
I do agree in closing this thread.There isnt much point of talking about this.
The thread starter did have the intention to start a flame war here.Just like what he did in SC2 thread and some other threads.

a hack and slash,dota is a hack and slash, its no rpg nor an rts. u kill u get leveld up and buy good stuffs so u can hack some more,consider the players are like bosses. to prove this, scroll ur mouse down or use the pageup/down button and WALLAH! it becomes just exactly like dynasty warriors,theres ur health bar when pressing alt ,and theres mana for special moves and an item slot for weaponry,armory and stuff.
Hack and Slash is a more suitable genre for DotA,IMO.
Anyway,it's hard to define a genre for a mod or game these days since developers/modders tend to combine certain aspects from other genre in their game.For example,WC3.It has RPG and RTS element in it.Also,not to forget about the upcoming Hellgate.It has traces of FPS,RPG and Hack and Slash in it.How you gonna define Hellgate's genre?RPG? H&S?
Same thing is for DotA.
