dota is no game!!!! it's a matter of life and death!!!

its not an mmorpg, cause the map is like 2mb of file.

but but a gajillion ppl are loogged in on bnet and playing dota at the same time. that qualifies as mmo right?

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 requires teamworks in higher levels too, lets just say that dota is a hack and slash at a higher level,since once a barrack is down the creeps gets an upgrade, a hack and slash at a higher level needs teamwork too, you cant really survive alone unless you have the leet armoury and stuffs , unless all the bosses gangs up on you, then you'd sure to die.
