I agree Dota 2 > Dota 1 but...something called habit, I just cant stop play d1 :D
Also, last some nights I'm seeing bad russian players in my dreams, they just wont stop feeding  :(
Where there is desire, there is gonna be a flame!
Where there is a flame, someone's bound to get burned!
But just because it burns doesn't mean you're gonna die!
You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try!

You don't just stop playing a game that you played for the past several years. Some move on to newer games but some just like to stick with the old games, either because their PC is crappy or because they simply enjoy to play it from time to time.

Dota 2 and other moba derivatives mainly attracted hardcore Dota players and some more casual ones. So inevitably there is a few tens % of players less that will still play D1. It's natural and expected. Is it going to kill w3? Not at all. Some people still like D1 and as long as IceFrog keeps releasing new material there is still future for D1 and it's player base.

Also, W3 as a game can actually benefit from this. Some people consider Dota being the cancer that killed W3, so perhaps when Dota becomes less relevant to W3 community we can shift back to good old days where PG and CG meant something. Less retards who only jumped the wagon for dota and more people who actually care for W3 as a whole.

I think Dota is the thing that kept W3 alive, not killed it.
Look what happened to starcraft 1.
Find me players who still play Sc1 online every day.
Exactly.

It was keeping the numbers and now it's taking them.

I agree about SF and few others,but mostly d2 models > d1 models and d2 vocals > d1 vocals.Anyway dota is still alive since people who play it doesn't know English(maybe 200 people actually know English) and the gameplay is getting worse since those who are on top mostly left lagabuse for dota 2.Anyway if you didn't force dota that much maybe PG and CG could be played,only way is bots on double servers(only way to play a CG)

voice response are much better in dota 2

example :
Juggernaut

Bottling A Rune:

Spoiler for Hiden:
Does it matter if I put this in my jug or not? Get it? Jug or not?

or killing sven :

and so on.. for almost every hero...
If your frightened of dying, and your holding on. You'll see devils tearing your life away but if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels,... Freeing you from the earth

yes, as well dota 2 is a standalone game, voices in dota 1 are used for original W3 therefore can't really follow anything.... but yeah obviously i agree on the the voices, i was mentioning models which are terrible and want to make me cry, like seriously, weaver, wth.... invoker is probably the only one i can actually look at.... even maiden, like what the hell, QQ
