Heck, they can't even call it DotA 2 (different cases).

yeah i really don't get why they didn't just change the name

it's not like their audience wouldn't be able to understand it

yeah I mean they weren't trying to make it on-par to Dota 2 or LoL, from the start they just wanted it to be the TF2 of the CS/Quake world

yeah from what I remember, they fulled intended the "full" title to be Defense of the Ancients 2, and then shit got fucked with legal trademarks.

then instead of coming up with a new name because they already printed everyone's name tags and had the file names set up, they were lazy and stuck with it
