there's no proper storyline in DotA at all.. how would that call an RPG??!! doh.gif

we do not need to build anything beside characters.... it's not an RTS either...

Well technically there is. You have to help your army defeat the other's army. Guild Wars PvP has similar premises for its matches and nobody really calls it anything less or more than an RPG.

Hmm, now when I think about it, do you guys think that story = RPG and no-story w/ top-down view combat = RTS? That seems to be the root argument for some of you.

Retarded ain't it?
I never play Guild Wars before so i don't really know what genre is it, but based on the RPG(single player) that i played since Atari century all also have story and quest to let the characters fulfill/complete . DotA technically is not a quest or follow stories since the objective only has 1 which is destroy enemy throne, nothing more nothing less, so i don't assume it as an RPG.


even the DotA itself tells everything, Defense of the Ancients , it's an defending game just like TD(Tower Defense) , but in different way to defend your base only...
