Dota is a custom map for warcraft III, the most popular version being DotA Allstars, which is for Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne. DotA is a generally exciting game, with many comebacks, twists and turns. It is a hero based game, with each player controlling a single hero and working as a team to destroy the enemy team's base. This game does have a few problems however. One of the major problems is the high learning curve. It is extremely difficult to get good at the game, which scares many players away. The other problem is a lack of balance, although this has improved with recent versions. The problem with balance is that some heroes (which are randomly selected with the popular -ar mode) are generally better than others, causing in-game controversy over "stacked teams." Most of the criticisms of DotA are spawned from these problems, and most DotA haters are victims of these short comings. Another problem with DotA, one that can not be controlled by Ice Frog (the current maker of DotA Allstars), is that of laggers and leavers. Laggers, being people who have a slow internet connection, often make a game of DotA difficult, and generally no fun. That is why DotA players are so hard on them. Leavers ruin more games than anything else, though. A leaver is someone who leaves the game before it is over, mainly because they are losing, or something ridiculously unbalanced is going on. Some of the criticisms of DotA players themselves are that they spam, are too aggressive, and that they are arrogant. These stereotypes primarily come from people who have not played DotA enough to fully understand it. DotA players take their games seriously, so naturally when something that does not maximize their play time, or is ruining their game, they react in the only way they can. These reactions often appear to be excessive to people who are new to the game. All in all, DotA is a fun game that, once it is mastered, can be extremely fun, and even addictive.

A custom game on warcraft 3: frozen throne where people who cant get a girlfriend come to act tough to people through a computer.
Just because that DotA player claims to be cool, doesnt change the fact that he lost an arm wrestling match to his 3 year old sister.

A custom map for WC3 TFT that is far superior to the real WC3 game.
Two teams of 5 players each with a unique hero compete against each other in a PVP map control setting.
Since there are 80+ unique heroes to choose (or get randomly), there are literally thousands of combinations of which 5 heroes play against which other 5 heroes.
Add to this player skill levels, hero lane choices (map has 3 lanes (areas) to control), and various strategies of how to build up a given hero, and you get a game that has near-infinite replayability.
The game takes anywhere from 20-90 minutes, with good, even games usually lasting about 45 minutes. It is more common in "public" games for some players leaving the game early (especially when they are losing), thereby causing it to end prematurely due to one team being outnumbered.

Exceedingly repetetive Warcraft III mod that virtually turns the strategy game into just another stupid online game that requires a fast internet connection and no skill.
Not the source of pwned, as someone earlier said.
