Blizzard DOTA

     It seems another "new" DotA Game is coming and it is from Blizzard Entertainment, the company behind Warcraft III where the original DotA game came from. The new DotA Game is also now in a new platform, StarCraft II. Like the other DotA games it s a clash between two forces, from the Red God and the Blue God

What makes Blizzard DOTA stand apart from other DOTA-style games?

     The towers in the lanes are powerful entities that can quickly decimate enemy heroes that wander into their range. But unlike many other DOTA-style games, the towers in Blizzard DOTA have a limited amount of energy that slowly recharges over time. This means that a team making a concerted push against a tower can force that tower to run out of ammo, making it easier to overrun the position. This encourages more team-based aggression and reduces the amount of defensive, tower-hugging play in the early-mid game.

       - Blizzard Entertainment
