I wonder how DotA 2 will be controlled on XBOX...

I've never played DOTA2, but from what I've seen it looks like a game unplayable with a controller.

How long ago was source? A decade? Very curious as to the leap we will see and dare I say it...another Half Life.

I litteraly have zero idea how it would work. I've played it and it seems close to impossible but you never know, game could work entirely different.

Weird all the coding for the Xbox version plus there was that LoL rumor. It appears that these companies are at least looking into how they could translate a MOBA to console. This could all just be test coding and nothing will come out of it, but Valve was at least looking into it at some point recently.

Maybe with Kinect, lol.

I only played DotA 1 a little, but DotA 2 and LoL should have similar controls and I can't imagine them to work on a XBOX pad. Consoles need MOBAs with gamepad controls in mind. Maybe DotA 2 or LoL spin-offs, but not direct ports.
