glad that ended rather quickly and without consequences. I'm rather dissapointed in dota 2 though. Everything just seems to move in slow motion. I thought it would just be something to get used to, but nearly 100 games later and it still just doesn't feel right. I guess I'll stick with HoN for now and hopefully blizzard all stars impresses me whenever that comes out.

Did you not play the original Dota?

Dota 2 will be huge. That's for sure. It will by far be the most popular game on Steam, probably for a loooong time. Not like Skyrim which was popular for a month or so and then dropped off a lot. Even the beta has ~50k players on constantly.

I don't know about Blizzard All-Stars though. They will have to work for it to get as popular as Dota 2

yea the original dota was great, but this is probably notalgia speaking. I would never go back to the game now, because of the features I am used to in modern moba games. And like I said, after playing hon, dota 2 plays way too slow and so does the original dota.

But yes, it does seem like dota 2 will probably be the new biggest game on steam once it goes live, especially since it will be free to play. Currently dota 2 does not average 50k players, that is the weekend peak. Though no doubt once it goes into open beta the numbers will skyrocket.
