DoTA stands for Defense of the ancients its an online RPG with two teams playing against each others. Each team has 5 players. Here's a link to the screen shot as the file is too large for uploading

I dont want to go into the details but its surprising to see very few (no one) who plays DoTA here. If there is anyone there you can post your garena IDs or just talk about the latest map developments.

Game needed: Warcraft 3: Frozen throne

Custom maps: Developed by icefrog or simply called DOTA maps or DOTA

Latest maps can be downloaded here:
Official DotA Website

You need a copy of Warcraft 3:Frozen throne installed in your PC to play the game. Then you need to get the latest map from the above link and copy it to the custom games folder.

This game was shown in the demo video of Razer Switchblade (prototype)

Re: DoTA custom map for Warcraft 3: Frozen throne

Its a little old topic I think. Dota's been around for years. But, I think we do need a dedicated Dota thread.

Re: DoTA custom map for Warcraft 3: Frozen throne

I am still a noob, but I enjoy dota a lot. I like playing agility heroes mainly. My favourite are Mage, Juggernaut and BS among others. What are your favorite heroes?

PS: I think the thread ought to be renamed simply as "The DotA Thread".

Well, you guys can try Heroes of Newerth (it's free) or League of Legends (also free). I personally prefer LoL to HoN , it's much easier to get into and more forgiving if you make mistakes. Community is also much much much friendlier towards newbies.

Re: DoTA custom map for Warcraft 3: Frozen throne

^^ I think the same is for Dota. It is not too hard, but you need to know all the skills and item recipes (at least the ones you need to use).

Not played HoN or LoL though.

Re: DoTA custom map for Warcraft 3: Frozen throne

I have played a lot of DotA when I was in college. Have no one to play with these days. Tried Garena for sometime, but it doesn't satisfy as much as a 5v5 LAN game in the hostel.
However, this is one LAN game I enjoyed the most. More than CS, I'll say.

Re: DoTA custom map for Warcraft 3: Frozen throne

Its more intelligent than CS. On the contrary, I used to play CS when I was in college. Got into Dota when I was in final year.

And, of course, playing with your own peers is better than playing on Garena. No coordination.

PS: Waiting for dota2 invite. Not received yet.

Re: DoTA custom map for Warcraft 3: Frozen throne

^^ Right. CS was fun for the 1st whole year. In 2nd year I shifted to DotA, and never looked back.

I too filled the form for Dota2 Beta. Never received any keys. Seems I shouldn't have been that honest while filling up the signup form.

Btw, my garena id is 'hitnameever'. Playing on Garena is frustrating. People frequently get disconnected, or leave the game. You take your time to properly build your hero, and when the time comes to shine, people start quitting the game. So I stopped playing on Garena.

Same

I was too honest when I filled the form too. And, I agree, playing on Garena is not so smooth. But, for me it is better than nothing.

Please add me: Death_Metal27

I am at work, so I cannot add you all now.

BTW, what are your favourite heroes?

Re: DoTA custom map for Warcraft 3: Frozen throne

When I started out, i started with Sniper, then Trax. Only used ranged heroes. Now I try melee agility heroes.

Never played Phoenix though.

Re: DoTA custom map for Warcraft 3: Frozen throne

i am kinda semi pro in dota.. been playing right from the begening version 6.2x or so. Been part of many clan games all over india but never anything substantial (mostly exit during the leauge stages itself)..

I stopped playing mainly due to the large number of immature players and kids on garena india rooms.. but once in a while i kick back a few beers and play with my buddies on lan..

PS: if any serious folks playing dota in bangalore, then lemme know.. i can get my buddies and we can play 5v5

Re: DoTA custom map for Warcraft 3: Frozen throne
