DotA Allstars was truly a game created by and for its community, with the forums quickly hitting over 1. With the mysterious mod developer Icefrog replacing him at the helm, Dota-Allstars. A screenshot of the forum post, showing the advertisements for League of Legends.
In , Pendragon, the founder, and then-owner of Dota-Allstars. Visitors to the forums were also bombarded with not so subtle advertisements for League of Legends.
The company who were poised to release its rival stand-alone version of the DotA mod. The final homepage of Dota-Allstars. The Dota-Allstars site was shut down, and although it later moved to a mirror, many posts and content were lost in the initial removal.
By the site had permanently been removed, with the site now directing to PlayDota. Beyond the frustration of having the single largest community for Dota players wiped off the face of the internet in an instant, several controversies emerged from the deletion of the forums. Notably, claims emerged from former Dota-Allstars forum users about specific heroes, items, abilities, being plundered from the now-defunct site.
Reddit user infinitevox specifically claimed to be the original creator of LoL champions Rammus and Teemo , both characters which launched with the release of the game. In a vitriol-filled post directed at Pendragon, infinitevox, a former Clan TDA member Team Dota Allstars, a clan tag sometimes used by the original DotA mod developers directly accused Riot Games of stealing many ideas from the forum.
While this is one specific example, similar claims have been made across the internet since as early , and have continued to this day. At the point in which the forums were taken down, there were literally hundreds of item and hero suggestions along with thousands of prospective abilities posted on the site.
To this day, League of Legends champions are released with uncannily similar sets of skills to some of the suggestions on the Dota-Allstars. Ultimately, every idea was posted in a public forum where anyone could take it. Credit for creation was largely down to the honor-system, at best, and for every good hero idea posted, there were dozens of awful suggestions that never even got considered. One bitter footnote in the story lies in the dispute between the former owners of Dota-Allstars and the new Dota 2 developers, Valve, which broke out in August The fight went well for Team Dragon, after they secured four kills, but at the cost of permanently losing Ephey and syndereN for the rest of the TI10 All-Star match.
This put Team Dragon at a big numerical disadvantage. Team Thunderhide was able to use their numbers advantage and take the game-winning fight after, an explosive finish to one of the best All-Star matches played at The International.

Hungry for more Dota 2 action? Granted, the Scourge had many powerful options in 6. However their synergy couldn't stop Sentinel's midgame pushes.
The reason that these heroes made such a good mid game team is that the ability of the Holy Knight and the Twin Head Dragon to quickly kill creep waves made it easy for the Sentinel to advance to the Scourge's Base. The Beastmaster and Vengeful Spirit both have stunning moves that can disable the opponents and make them easy targets. Lone Druid can summon a gigantic bear that is also useful to help in pushes and disable enemy heroes.
In the highest-level tournaments, it was extremely rare that both teams won as Scourge during this time. As of version 6. Both Jakiro, Twin Headed Dragon and Chen, Holy Knight have received a substantial nerf, particularly Chen, as neutral creeps have been weakened and his main force was the ability to control them and abuse their special abilities most notably the stunning stomp ones. Syllabear, The Lone Druid's bear has also been weakened, having slower attack speed and only getting entangle at level 4.
Although Scourge lacked the heroes to counteract the raw power of the Sentinel heroes, their large number of powerful heroes with AOE effects allowed them to put up some sort of battle. As of 6. It is now contested that Scourge may have an advantage, mainly because of the tremendous boosts that Nevermore has been receiving in the past few versions up to 6.
Several new items were introduced in 6. Most significantly, the Aegis of the Immortal, one of the most controversial items in the game, underwent a major change. Prior to 6. To get an Aegis one must kill Roshan, a very powerful but significantly weaker than in previous versions , neutral creep who drops a 1-charge Aegis. Roshan now respawns every 10 minutes after his death becoming more and more powerful previously, once killed, remained out for the rest of the game.
Another significant change that this version brought is the extra growth rate for Sentinel and Scourge creeps spawning, which means late-game oriented heroes and heroes that are good at killing creeps have indirectly received a substantial boost. In the more recent versions of DotA Allstars, AI versions have been released for the official stable maps. Its purpose is to help human players train and to improve their skills. In addition to providing practice for newer players, the AI maps are useful for testing new item and skill builds.
Bots play adequately, but are not much threat to an experienced player as they are not programmed to use teamwork or complex strategies. Additionally, they are not difficult to kill since they have low awareness of the amount of damage they are likely to receive in the near future. Their item builds and skill builds never vary from game to game, so they cannot adapt to the heroes they fight. Recently, more features have been added to allow players to control the actions of the "bots", namely to defend the base when necessary.
