Well, dota 2 will be the same game as w3 dota, just with better graphics and engine. So ppl will probably play it, i know i will. The only people that will continue playing w3 dota will be those who cant afford dota (which shouldnt be too expensive), or ppl that have too old computers.

But the point is in the graphics...its not DotA if the graphics are way better...The same shit with LoL/HoN!!!The graphics are better but it's just not DotA!!!

dota2 maybe isnt actual dota, but isnt same shit like hon and lol cause have same developer and same models. i think the better of dota is high level balance... if dota 2 get that, will be nice game.
old computers? if developers think about that, they succes... just put high ranged video options like wow have..
lets see

Dota 2 will be 70% old dota with same visuals because hon is shit for visability and dota has perfect mix of colours and hon and lol are just too complicated,,,,

As for star craft 2 it will be just another aeon ( fogoth real map type name) like other maps like dota (dday,aeon of frost)just different platform and it is srarcraft...pity is blizz made that map it will be just commercial map like hon and lol are ,all about effects etc...probably...i hope dota will leave its original design.

Your right is not dota 2 is not dota. It will be better than dota. I don't understand how smoother game play and better graphics will make it inferior to dota. It will still have the exact game play. Once it comes out, good bye w3.....

Dota 2 , HoN , LoL and all other SHIT is just not DotA...so deal with it!!!It's not about the graphics or any other shit...better graphics can only destroy the game and gameplay  ------> more details ====> less visibility and more complications...  ::)
