I got invited to DotA2 right after first international and I am playing DotA for 7 years. I know DotA community and its history.
What do you mean with min/max? If you mean damage range. I don't really remember when it came and I don't really think I need to prove myself
I know it's descended from a Starcraft map but DotA is first true ARTS.
Claiming ARTS are for CoD/WoW generation is as stupid as all other gross generalizations.
ps: These kind of claims generally comes from those who fail to play even an easy game like CoD and then start to hate the game and it's community.
ps2: I didn't know this forum is full with ARTS ignorants. Seriously, go play and see if it's that much easy to do some stuff(I am talking about DotA)
