DotA thread. Period.

Seriously, I should be able to play non-noobishy after a week of not sleeping... figures that I had to fall in love with the one int char with no nukes and a puny if long disable (Furion the prophet)... Alliance ftw!

I by no means expect to be organizing matches on this thread, but we can easily burn through 30 pages just discussing character merits, matchups, counters, counter-counters, item sets (+20 pages), play style(s), and whether they simply look good. Cmon, this has to be by far more popular than dragonvale...

...also, anyone actually get into DotA 2?

Whats this? I wanna try!

DotA is currently simply a custom map for Warcraft 3 (frozen throne) that capitalizes on a 30-60 minute arena-fest between 6 player teams with uber-powered heroes, with the goal being destroying the other team's base. I'll get screenshots.

DotA 2 (in development, but giving out invitations to play on steam!!) is the same thing, ported onto its own program. droooool...

edit: watch a couple of replays to get a feel, skip around if you wish.
