Really, I know that game companies can't say "Our game is a DOTA clone" but I can so I will :lol:

I don't know what DOTA is.

I think you guys just like using caps lock.

Do you know what League of Legends (LOL) is? Basically, DOTA is the Warcraft III mod it is a clone of.

Well, I'd say that the genre began with Aeon of Strife, a fan map for StarCraft.

It is a genre of game where two teams of players must destroy each other's base. You do so in a RTS style gameplay, controlling a single hero as you level up by killing enemy players and minions, as well as defense towers that block your path to the enemy base.

AL the characters have unique abilities and play styles.

This may fit better on the Fallout 4 thread but for non owners who may be interested and more exposure, I'm sharing my thought here.

During loading screens in Fallout 4, they show tips with a model spinning. When the tip is a perk description, the model shown is the picture of the perk (a representation of the perk). They are stylized as pins. Why are these pins not in real life?!
