There is a famous saying in China "A dota a day, makes you become a gay." My friends always make fun of me and say I am a gay, just because I love playing DotA. To be honest, I don't mind at all as I always believe that there are also lots of romantic stuffs in DotA. Personally, I think DotA is not only a game for male gamers, it can also be suitable for female gamers who love romantic-style games!

Some of you may doubt that :"DotA is a MOBA game and 99% players are guys. There even romantics in DotA, are you kidding me?" Ok, here I am proving it!

First, let's take a look at a romantic story in DotA:

It is a love story between Crystal Maiden and Shadow Fiend (Two heroes in DotA).

It is a DotA fan-made MV called "Still a Rainy Day" (from Chinese translation)

Details about the story

Part I: Crystal Maiden and Shadow Fiend are apart. They can not meet each other in DotA world. What they can do is to miss each other without day and night.

Lyric translation from Chinese:

Still a Rainy DContinue Reading

Hey peeps, today I was looking for some information about Dota 2 and its characters, when I found some interesting stuff, the Steam Workshop. The basic concept is that you help the growth of Dota 2 by making stuff for the game. Professional stuff! (Dota 2 is the center of attention in this blog entry but the workshop also works for other games).

I have to be honest, , I have my doubts about the future of this feature. It’s the way it works that really shakes the foundations of my soul. Some things are sketchy and they give me the wrong kind of feeling…

I have to point out that certain life experiences do something to the way you think and how your perception works.

So… What the hell I am talking about?

Well, I was reading the Workshop documentation and as I said before, some stuff is kinda sketchy. They said that you are going to get money if you help Valve by doing stuff for Dota 2. After they mention that, they start talking about how to get things done correctly, so your stuff doesn’t

It's been a long while since I've posted the last DoTA match for Team MMOSite. For the people who have been waiting for this, I'm sorry that it took so long too many exams hitting me hard. This match was played 1 year ago so bear with me as I talk about a really old match xD

MMOSite is still trying to increase their DoTA 2 community making it more interactive and we're getting a bigger team this time. Again we allowed the community to vote on which hero you wanted us to play as. Although the team composition wasn't great we still pushed forward and tried our best.

Our team, the Dire once again selected Lich(Zephy), Sniper(Collussus), Shadow Fiend(Kelleranna), Lifestealer(Nak123), and finally Tidehunter(iLovecat). Although iLovecat wasn't supposed to use Tidehunter we let it slide

So I finally got around to playing some Dota 2 after my friends had been talking about it for several months. Dota 2 is a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) game more similar to Heroes of Newerth than League of Legends. It certainly has a lot of depth and complexity compared to League of Legends, which is simplified and lacks as many strategic elements. Unfortunately, you have to learn many of these mechanics as you go as there are no guides to really help you with the game.

EDIT: I will probably be redoing my League of Legends review once Season 3 starts. The changes to Twisted Treeline and the addition of All Random and The Proving Grounds has made the game quite different.

EDIT 2: It seems that Dota 2 will be getting a bunch of seasonal game modes for events. Diretide was for October and there is a new one for December. Unfortunately, I do not find this one as fun.

Story:

Something about 2 groups known as the Radiant and Dire are fighting it out for control. It does no

Recently, the issue that RaidCall and its branch office in Vietnam, CENS, which was the exclusive sponsor for the DotA 2 RaidCall Asian Cyber Games Vietnam 2012, has decided to self-withdraw the sponsor contract with the organizer is IGN.vn, is making wave in Vietnam DOTA 2 Community.

As IGN.vn stated, from the beginning, when CENS had known about the DotA 2 Asian Cyber Games Vietnam 2012 qualifier to select the representative to compete at The Asia in Malaysia, they came to IGN.vn to offer to be the exclusive sponsor for the tournament, and change the tournament’s name to DotA 2 RaidCall Asian Cyber Games Vietnam 2012.

According to the contract, CENS must transfer 70% of the sponsor package to IGN.vn before August 27th; however, CENS kept delaying the transfer with unreasonable excuses

This is going into my new category of Guides since its the first I felt I should mention it :P.

Now before anything is read I just want to mention these builds are simply for fun or ridiculousness I don't know its viability/usefulness since every time I've tried it its either complete success or doomed failure or the masses come flaming. I don't think anyone would actually build this since I haven't seen any of it in game other than from myself but I do remember in the DotA 1 days some friends laughed pretty hard when it was achieved. Apart from that I still do it in DotA2 and works very much the same (Yeay to Valve for literally keeping what they said, "The game mechanics will not change and be very familiar to that of DotA 1")

Hero: Juggernaught Game items:

Power Treads(INT) - Okay... sure... wtf INT?

OR Arcane Boots over Power Treads - Ok you're a noob bye.

Scythe Vyse - Wtf?

Refresher Orb - Uh yeah maybe?

Situational:

Force Staff - Seriously...?

Rooftrellen – The treant protector is finally here! If you’re like me, you’ve been waiting for this for a while and I’m pretty damn excited. Along with a great new hero comes an abundance of great game changes to make the game smoother and easier to understand. Bots have been changed, skills have been fixed and items and characters that run out now have an exp bar that slowly decreases to show how long they’re left on the map!

I think it’s definitely interesting Valve has added Rooftrellen to the champion pool this early as in Dota 1 he is a pretty powerful champion that has been nerfed so many times so it will be interested to see how he fairs in Dota 2 and what stats and numbers they give to his skills to balance him, or if they’ll leave him to dominate.

He’s a strength hero who makes a pretty great support/ganker. He’s an old favourite of mine and I can’t wait to see how he plays, here are the full patch notes.

GAMEPLAY
- Added Treant Protector!
- Ancient Apparition: Fixed Ethere

Today, Valve released its new Hero for its MOBA Game, Dota2, The Treant Protector (Rooftrellen) together with some bunch of changes in gameplay, UI, and etc.

Here's an Introduction to Treant Protector by DotaCinema

So now, why don’t you make like a tree and enjoy these community highlights:

• The Dota Insight podcast just released their 14th episode.
• Here’s a nice guide on how Black King Bar interacts with a number of spells.
• Yeah, we don’t even know what this is.

More teams have been invited to The International, so make sure to check back often to see who else will be joining us this August.

Treant is not very happy that we cut his friend down to create this changeLOG.

New screenshots released by Cyborgmatt shows the in-game shop interface for DoTA 2 currently in testing. Indicating that DoTA2 will most likely have a Free2Play model.

Looks like Valve might adapt a similar system like League of Legends, allowing player to purchase different cosmetic weapons and armor for each hero. (Possibly lots of silly hats like in Team Fortress 2 for your favorite heroes)
