The B Spot

DotA, short for Defense of the Ancients Allstars, is an insanely addicting custom map made for Warcraft 3. Well, it used to be before the noobs/ griefers invaded. I had long since left the DotA scene, and haven’t played it for years. So, when I came across my WC3 installation as I was cleaning out my hard drive I decided to give it a go; just for the sake of nostalgia.

I downloaded the patches + the latest version of DotA, got on Azeroth and joined a pubby (public game). Very quickly I started getting addicted again. It was great fun using the new heroes, and “GODLIKE!!” blaring out of your speakers.

There were noticably less leavers/griefers when I played. It was a lot more fun, that’s for sure. Probably because of the nostalgia factor, but still. Four hours later I had to be pried from the keyboard by my roommate :). If you have WC3, go here for the download.
