Dota 2 Vs LoL Vs Blizzard Dota
There has been alot of discussion about this subject but i have no seen it here yet

Intro and Info about Dota:
Dota was the original mod that started LoL, HoN, Bloodline Champions, Demigod etc.
Dota was never a its own game it was a mod in someone elses game (warcraft 3).
But Dotas design came from the original starcraft yes, starcraft was the actual game that made it all happen they made the mod so that you would control 1 character and have an army on your side to take down the opposing teams base. The problem about this mod that starcraft had is that..........no body played it. Dota was created by 3 moderators all i know is that 1 of them is Icefrog. From what i hear LoL was designed by Riot games and they hired the original 2 moderators (who i cant remember) to help them in the development but Icefrog was hired by Valve to create an unknown project which they announced was Dota 2. The problem with all this is that all the 3 companies Valve,Riot games and Blizzard want to by the product name for the original dota. Valve wants to call it Action RTS, Riot games call it MOBA or multiplayer online battle arena and Blizzard just want it to be Dota.
Apparently from what i have heard if Valve bought the product name they then have the power to shut the original Dota down or if there nice enough to change the name. Some people didnt know that icefrog was also hired to help with HoN as well. The one thing that can't be settled about is........Who actually owns DotA?
is it blizzard? because it was the mod for their game
is it Riot Games? because they have the 2 people who first created DotA in the first place?
or is it Valve? since Icefrog was the one to make Dota For what it is.

now to the real deal: THE GAMES
i for one like Dota and LoL but DotA got a little old for me and when i heard about LoL i gave it a try and i still play it today i think it is great. On the other hand i looked over at DotA 2 which looked 10 times better because it had the original characters and gameplay and this time it had a Tutorial. The thing that worries me about Dota 2 is that it looks a little......complicated, but the graphics look great alot of people didnt relise that Blizzard was also going to make a DotA or MOBA based game but they have been struggling and there is no release date i have heard that it to will be a mod but for Starcraft.
But overall in my opinion i still might stick with LoL for awhile because Dota 2 looks great and all but the gameplay of it is a very fast and complicated if you go look for Dota 2 gameplay you will know what i mean and im not even gonna bother with blizzard DotA they dont have any of the original mods from Dota to help them plus the trailer looks stupid =p but thats my opinion

So guys? what are your opinions about these games? will you quit LoL for DotA 2? Will you go back to the original DotA? or Will you stick with LoL? or have acrack at blizzard dota =p
One does not simply question the Afro
