Beat: i want to play DOTA

[foal]

Ehh really? I've found he tends to push to the last tower and then loses it in the late game. Actually my favorite would probably be Leshrac.

KoTL tough 1v1? EXPLAIN PLZ.

I'd chose either void or huskar. perma stun or neverdielol hero

And with 3.2k starting gold. Any str hero would be decent from the start.

His Ulti plus Necro book means he is a good pusher in much the same way as Dirge.

Foal - yeah you may be right. He is definitely a good hero for 2v2 if you have a decent ranged agi hero like razor who can stay relatively protected due to all the minions.

DOT never appealed to me, but it is by far the most popular game on every Warcraft III server these days.

dota is not the most popular "game" on any server and why the hell do you call it a "game"? its only a custom map and youd have to go on a limb to even call it a modification.
when you compare the stats between most played ladder game types on european, american and asian realms you see an interesting pattern.

top-3 ladder game types on 3 servers (doesnt include custom games [because theyre not ladder LDO]):

azeroth (america):
1. RT 4on4 24%
2. solo 21%
3. RT 3on3 17%

lordaeron (america):
1. RT 3on3 23%
2. solo 23%
3. RT 4on4 18%

northrend (europe):
1. solo 36%
2. AT 2on2 15%
3. RT 2on2 14%

list of game types from least to most competetive:
custom maps, RT 4on4, RT 3on3, RT 2on2, AT (from 4on4 to 2on2), solo

when you look at the american servers you see that americans prefer to play the bigger team games where individual skill isnt as big of a factor as it is in solo or 2on2. why dont americans have the competitive nature? you prefer to play "for fun" and play the kind of games where you cant lose or losing in general wont feel as bad as getting owned in a 1on1 format.

i would have thought that 2p2ers have the mindset to play the competitive forms and im surprised to learn that youre part of the "custom noobs".

PS. stop acting like dota involves skill.

This is probably the single dumbest thing I've read on this board and thats saying something.

[Shaqizzle]

I was going to say something about that, but thought ehh I hope hes just joking.

Whats up with the story length post of why DoTA players are horrible for playing a custom game?

[Jay Riall]

isapistola - do you realise how sad you sound trying your best to prove Dota is a noob game. No-one said Dota requires more or even comparable skill to regular Warcraft, so you can climb down off your high horse. If you think Dota has no skill then lolz I don't know what to say to you - try watching a decent Pudge or Priestess and you will see.
