Thats is what 'they' will tell you.  I think Dota is popular here since its simple to pick up and play...no deep mechanic to make it complicated...and it has the same grinding quality of a crappy Asian MMO that we Asian seem to like doh.gif

It is RPG/RTS lite...lite to the max...I don't think there is anything much RTS in it at all...There are other games that are taking similar approach that should proof much better than DoTA itself.

Grind,grind,grind.All these people only know how to grind.

DotA is RTT/RPG lite,at best.

1 thing..
Addictive on start.
Get boring when you keep on playing for days..
Trust me.
When you like "1st Blood" then you just want to keep on traning for more..
Then when someone better then you feel like quiting or more traning.

DotA = Hero = U Control = Ur Skills = Win/Lose Factor = Teamwork = Popular Nickname = Owning = N00bs/Anon = Glory = Fame

Why? Because dota require whole lot less skill to play. And there are always chance a low lvl player can actually dominate the game(Hmm.. yay a monster kill, makes me wanna play more) . It is a game you can pick up quickly. Try play this game 1 on 1 or high lvl team match(i find it stressful and no fun, one mistake by one person = HAM KA CHAN!"whole family die"). If you lose, you can always blame the team (eg: WTF, NOOB team feeder). The disappointment of being outskill/outmatch is not there. So people keep on playing.

Well there is also customization(uniqueness) the way they play the hero, items, heroes skills. The joy of lvling without having to grind. Also the gameplay by relieving constant direct pressure. (Eg. Farming some creep for some gold instead of constantly engaging with the enemy). This is because you are not always not constantly threatened.

Tell me who don't like godly equipments in MMORPG? It is like the best of pvp in RPG without its weakness.

The problems with RPG, your view of your teammates are certainly very limited. With the strategy genre platform, it allows teamwork to a higher level.

Also there is the joy of GANG BANG.

Also, Dota doesn't feel repetitive. << very important.

Anyway, i'm bored of dota. Next game pls.

Most ppl get addicted because of losing.For instance ur friend forces u to play with him dota which is ur first time and he wins.U will have the urge to continue playing to train to defeat ur friend.Sooner or later dota will become an addiction which is hard to stop.Dota also kills time.Playing for a 60 minute match feels like 10 minutes only.

Hmmm..... Looks like I have to revisit this game to see anything that I left out or not. How to start? I have Warcraft 3 with Expansion installed in my PC.
