Any DoTA players out here? This game rocks!! I would rate it the best multiplayer game.
Post your reviews, hero guides, fav heroes, etc here.
I like Drow Ranger, Venomancer, Skeleton King, and a few others.

DOTA's biggest problem is the unbalanced heroes, people cant stand being killed and wait for their heroes fust because they didnt know the hero they picked at the beginning isnt as good as their opponents.

Hi all
I have played both the games WC3 : Reign Of Chaos and Diablo2 fully i.e finished many times and have played diablo with every character, ripped the character file of diablo2 also :twisted: .

I dont know how to play WC DOTA, plz explain how to upgrade or play becoz now i have cable net can play it on net also.

One more thing has anybody played dungeon siege, its a kind of similar to diablo (as far as i know), i will d/l it if its gud.

Thank You

DoTA is a map for Warcrft 3 The Frozen throne.
Gameplay is very different from normal Warcraft. In DoTA, you only control one hero, and nothing else. There are two bases - Sentinel and Scourge. You are assigned to one team, and have to pick a hero (or you can have one randomly assigned to you). The objective of the game is to destroy the opposing teams base (World Tree or Frozen Throne depending on your team). It may sound stupid but give it a try and youll be hooked.
You have to download the map to play it. You can get it from www.dota-allstars.info. The latest version is 6.09 i think. You have to play multiplayer. You can try single player, but then the opposing team will not have any heroes and it will be a cakewalk.

Yup, to counter that Dota offers two special gameplay modes ........ well actually there are many more, but these two will fix your problem :p

Firstly, there is the "-ar" or All Random mode. Each player is asigned a random hero, and is given the option to repick at the cost of 500 gold.

Secondly there is the "-mm" or Mirror Mode, which makes sure both teams (i.e. the Sentinel and the Scourge) have identical heros.

DOTA absolutely rocks, bt unfortunately is a multiplayer only game, which explains why it is relatively unknown in Indian gaming circles.

Oh and my favorite heros are

1. Bone Clinkz the Bone Fletcher
2. Traxex the Drow Ranger
3. Na'ix the Lifestealer
4. Lesale Deathbringer the Venomancer
5. Rylia Crestfall the Crystal Maiden

U tried it out eh ? Ah well never mind. Amazing that so many people in India play Warcraft, but no one knows about Dota :S Ever on Battle.net, there are hardly an Dota games on the Asia servers ....... :(

I think Reign of Chaos was the best. Played frozen throne, but it didn't have that intensity in the storyline like Reign of Chaos....

bots are given more advantage they dont cheat they get more exp and gold
to remove the effect
press return at the start of the game and type
-ap

anyway for beginners try the dwarven sniper
to choose from both the side try the
-neng mode
