Custom games/maps will be bad for the game in General Discussion

    perhaps.

    I think it will dilute the pro scene. There will be less interest in the original map, there will be tournaments in new popular maps etc.

    It'll be good fun for the masses but I think one of the reasons Dota has grown is because everyone plays the same game and the depth of the game is revealed by needing to find next level ideas.

    Don't think the scene is big enough yet to support Rugby Union, Rugby League, Australian Rules and American Football.

      ^You forgot sevens rugby

      i love u butt

        are u kidding, the custom maps was the sole reason dota lasted over 10 years in wc3

        people play dota -> rage -> play ez custom maps -> relax -> dota again

        don't forget dota itself was a custom map.

        i love u butt

          perhaps u werent there when the custom maps was all the rage but trust me. wc3 custom maps had enough content to keep you playing for years

          plz do

            1) Custom games are there already and help developing new games. Thats the course of nature in the gaming scene.
            2) The scene is big enough. It supports Dota1, Dota2, LoL, HoN, HotS (and more) with millions of players worldwide.
            3)Kids will always play variations of rugby in their backyard, which doesnt mean that the pro scene is not important for them. Pros are their idols.
            4)I think valve should make less commericals for treasures/sets/compendium in their main menu, but more for pro players/ builds/ladders/tournaments. the dota rework will be good in terms of usability for following the pro scene.
