    I love DOTA, I'm really hoping someone's gonna come out with an updated version. Had hopes for Demigod, it looks so cool, but it's all slow and clunky it doesn't have that addictive hook like DOTA. League of Legends is claiming they're the next contender, but I don't have high hopes. All the screen shots the lanes look wide and bound by unmoveable stone (instead of manipulatable trees). Gotta say I don't like the art style, it looks like the outdated engine Dota is currently using, but sugared up on breakfast cereal, like ultra kiddie DOTA. I don't know, as I remember Dota history, DOTA didn't really take off and become huge until Icefrog took over from Guinsoo, and Icefrog's not involved in LOL. (of course the advertising Guinsoo's been doing (or you could call them heavily biased articles and interviews) rewrites that history to minimize Icefrog lifting Dota above the mass of warcraft mods. ) I hope I'm wrong and it feels like an updated Dota (though art wise it doesn't look updated)
