So far I've seen only two comments throughout the HLP via the Search button regarding DotA. Apparently Androgeos Exeunt might know the game, and some other member (I forgot his name).
Anyway, you know what I'm talking about - the WarCraft 3 mod whose popularity somehow rivalled even Warcraft 3 itself. DotA.

-Usually I start out with a Healing Salve, then work for a Perseverance and Broadsword+Claymore for a Battle Fury. Might settle for another Battle Fury later, or alternatively, Stygian Desolator (-6 to enemy's armor, lol), then a Hyperstone, then a Crysalis for a chance to deal 175% critical damage.
Post! Run! Destroy! get Killed! Have someone Kill you 10 times! Make an Insane enemy hero go Holy **** or beyond godlike by just allowing yourself to be killed! Pinpoint your rage towards the annoying Ziggurat with its insane blue lazer or the Sentinel's Ancient Protector's huge Boulders of Doom! Or maybe just realize that you've spent so much money and skill just trying to beat that damn huge Granite Golem Roshan just to get about 300 gold, level up one level, and get an Aegis of Immortal that can only be used once when you can use it infinitely with Skeleton King! Go AHEAAD! How about getting fried by a Fountain? How the hell can something with pure water fire Fire...if you know what I mean.
