I have been hanging around on a dota2 fansite a little bit, and i found this post:

Quoted:
Finally, let's close this conversation with League of Legends. I believe that LoL is a game that has managed to establish a dedicated player base through differentiating from the original DotA game in many aspects. Apparently there are a lot of fans who like the game for what it is, or has become, and do not look at it as a DotA clone. The game has a unique look 'n' feel and an innovative out-of-game system to support it. Having said that, it is still highly likely that LoL too will see some losses in its player base, but not tremendous ones.


If you ask me i totaly agree, i don't see LoL as a dota clone any more, i don't any one does, it is it's own game and i respect it for that, even with dota 2 realase people will stick to LoL ofc.

Thoughts? Feelings? Please share

that'd roughly equate to 3 valve months...

5 valve months is never.

Well. The idea was taken from DotA and that is it.

Rest is way diferent game.

Focused on PvP, focused on skills usage and combos, more user friendly, and EXTREMALY more new player friendly.

I never looked at LoL as a clone of DotA. I just wanted to play a similar game.

And HoN... that IS dota... in 100%.

As for the thread, DotA will get some users but as it is not going to be free to play like lol, it will not have that big influence on the player base. Most LoL players are... quite young... so they are forced to go for f2p games.

DotA will get some ppl of LoL for some time, but it all depends on the game itself. It might be just a spinoff for a moment. We will see when game is released.
