lolol! Do you know that developers do not support mods(as in give tech support) and any technical issues faced by customers playing a mod is not their responsibility. Feedback should go to the mod maker...in other words...NOT BLIZZARD.

Eh...its because of Blizzard, DoTA has a chance of existing at all. No Blizzard probably DoTA would have never existed.

Developing a game is a lot more different that just modding a game. I think you dont realise the amount of work involved in it. We are talking about concept work, concept artwork, developing the fiction/storyline, building the the level editor to build the game. Then early protoype/pre Alpha. Testing then more development to Alpha...then more testing...more developing till you get to final(that in itself is a very very long process). Then testing some more...if not good neough delay some more.


And making an efficient and good game engine(3D) is not that easy...and takes many many man hours and lot of money(for tools and paying the expert in engine programming).

Modders are talented and all(some of them). But make no mistake that it takes a lot more to make a full game and resources and even knowledge that the modder may lack.

Please for the love of god/satan/no one(if you are an atheist) do not equate a mod to the same level of a full game no matter how cool a mod is. Because it mainly modifies only a small part of a game and it can never completely change the core of the game itself.

In essence you want to know the truth? DoTA is just a map. The mode of gameplay is actually developed by Blizzard as just a small add on to the main campaign. The DoTA creator took that made made it a mod with new maps. Of course then he expanded it with new(ripped off from other blizzard games) units.

DoTA is a spin off from that Warcraft 3 game mode!!!!    

Seriously i think thats enough of ranting for me.
