    That's the thing, it's not exactly "new"

    Oh well, never was a Dota fan but I know a lot of people who played it till exhaustion. I know it will be a success, not for me tho.

    I actually have no idea what DOTA is, but I figure its some kind of Tower Defense game.

    Well, that game basically came out and was called Battlefield 2.

    I think the Team Fortress 2 that did come out was better than that would have been.

    THERE´S NO G-MAN IN BF2! And i bet the soldiers would have crowbars. Anyways, i actually haven´t played Team Fortress 2 alot, maybe should try it again.

    Dota is a 5 vs 5 custom map in wc3 where you basically select one hero at the beginning of the match and play only that hero (wc3 is an rts, if you didnt know, so all controls are just as in wc3, even the hud).

    You got 1 hero to play around with, so does your 4 team mates.

    Your hero gains experience by killing things on the map, and every time you level up you get more hp/mana and you can skill up one of your spells.

    You got 3 spells and one ultimate spell (aquired at level 6, which is usually something badass).

    The objective is to kill the other teams' heroes and finally their base.

    If you get killed then you are out of the game for a set amount of time (based upon your level and time played).

    You also earn gold by killing things and you can purchase items with that gold. You loose gold buy dying and purchasing stuff.

    Haha yeah, competitive grinding is a good word for it. But imagine the sweet taste of a kill you know will upset another grinders grind

    Its basically why world pvp is so popular/hated in WoW as well

    I never understood why people loved DOTA so much, it's just a bit rubbish!

    because - like it's stated in the article - when it's good, it's possible the best experience in video games, without exaggeration.

    same deal for me...

    then I tried it

    It's FAR deeper gameplay than it looks on the surface. I find myself using the same areas of my brain I would when playing chess and street fighter.
