Actually almost every game you will have a leaver because people are such assholes, in fact the community is so lame there are banlists with well over 50,000 people on them. The game is heavily team/strategy based so you can imagine what happens when someone fucks up. The public community fails and I'd say that's why many people dislike the game.

Though when the community doesn't completely fail..it is spectacular.

Agreed, I had so much fun when I played with my friends. Though in pubs, more than half the games I played, someone leaves, does their own thing, or just feeds purposely.

Actually it doesn't get so boring. Since the experience is different everytime. But I understand that your school mates are annoying as hell.

Thing about that video that annoys me, is that in the video, it doesn't show ventrilo at all, but at :50, it shows an IRC channel, which is a completely different thing and is a text program, not voice.

Never actually played Dota but rts games are fun...

Not likely, it's an old song and basshunter is pretty well known. I prefer the "Anna Bot" (can't remember exact name) one though.

I believe they're referring to Warcraft 3 Custom Games. DotA is all you're gonna see spammed through the list and what everyone plays. So it is tough to get another custom going sometimes. Which is a shame, because some of them are ridiculously fun.

I have Warcraft III, I remember playing some srs bzness Naruto on multiplayer. But it took like 30 minutes to find a good server.

I also played other types of game where I could pick a Hero, but never really got that into it.

Is DOTA one of those "mods" you play Online on Warcraft III?

Yea, that's the huge downside to D.O.T.A if your new your flamed, which sucks because then you never wanna play it again.

I got lucky and had friends guide me and stuff, so it was easier.

they sure do. I was following a guide, but still you gotta get used to where to get each item as well as get the hang of laning and just using your skills at the right time. Do any of those wrong, and you'll get flamezored. But meh. Its some kids on a pc game. I just ignore them and play.

Meh... WTF?

I Installed Reign Of Chaos, then install the Frozen Throne Expansion and in the middle it freezes, or maybe it just goes uber slow, so I press cancel because it wasn't supposed to be taking that long, and it just gets f'ed up.

Can I play DOTA on ROC?

Also I tried to play DOTA on ROC but I got kicked just as I got in. :cry:
