I Feel Sorry for you Americans...

To some extent, I agree with Draqz. I do not like DotA myself because it has become trite over the course of my wc3 history, but that doesn't mean the game itself is bad. I see it as a solid game, obviously with flaws due to the immense selection of heroes.

I don't even think Blizzard could balance that amount of characters. Let's look at the facts, Blizzard has had some trouble balancing just 12 heroes in RoC. Anyone else remember the Mountain King's ridiculous Storm Bolt damage and stun?

What's worse about this debate is people will always claim there is a hero imbalance somewhere. Have they themselves ever try using the character of which they thought to be too powerful? Some have, and those are the ones who are entitled to making a point. I'd venture to say that most just take other people's word for it and assume an imbalance when they get slaughtered in combat.


What even pisses me more off, is where I live. I'm a Canadian, and moved here to America, only to watch, for almost 7 years now, society deteriorate into wasteland. You have all these juvenile dilenquents that need to be arrested and persecuted for life, so that our school can actually have better ratings. In fact, if I didn't "transfer" into a different district, I was gonna have to learn from a school that didn't have a certified english program, a multitude of possible drug users and gang members, and much, much more.


I'm not sure what this has to do with DotA.

And Draqz, that's your opinion. If you don't like how we "bash" DotA, then stay out of the thread. We might be exaggerating a slight bit about the problems of the game, but those parts of the game are what aggravate us.


Everyone has the right to debate.

The wrongful stealing of spells, models, and skins is not right. An absolute disgrace to the community and a slap in the face of those who so willingly submitted their creations believing that they would be rightfully used. Stupid and ignorant are the players of DotA.


Are you aware of how many other games have stolen material without creditting authors of their work? Apparently not. DotA just seems to be the target of it since it is the most popular. Let's take a look at how many mauls there are. My point exactly. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that can't be a reason to hate DotA, unless of course you hate and refuse to play every other map that has stolen in the same manner. And to respond to your last sentence, I don't see how the players are entitled to be stupid when your claims are against the game makers.

Oh and by the way, no one on the site wins points for agreeing with everyone else.
