As a former DOTA player, DOTA 2 has the taste of its predecessor but with much more community support
After the success of DOTA, similar games erupted in the scene but none of them give the real pleasure of DOTA for me(even they were really successful). After playing DOTA 2 in recent weeks, i realized how much that i miss the original series. The fun and excitement still exist while the huge Steam community support offers extend the game play outside of the map. Item and hero guides,workshops, changing item visuals,live tournaments(spectator mode),tracking old games,game play statistics etc,
