Is there any competent person to write more about DotA influence on the MOBA genre?
Is there any competent person who wants to write more about DotA, and generally Warcraft Editor, influence on the MOBA genre? Last hitting mechanics, items, they were all part of Warcraft World Editor "limitations", which then became standard for the whole genre. On the other side, we have Heroes of the Storm, which is not "limited" by Warcraft Editor (no last hits, no items...), but it is still highly inspired by the same game, trying to include as many original Warcraft heroes as it can. First maps in the game have been influenced by Warcraft (instead sci-fi, "near future", or "dark theme") as well, despite the fact that HotS has originated from the StarCraft Map Editor and engine.
In addition, not only DotA as a game was inspiration to the other MOBA games, but DotA lead designers and original creators had direct influence in the development of the next two most popular games in the genre. To be fair, it has been noted in the article, but that section needs expansion. EchoBlu (talk) 06:10, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
- I agree it should be expanded, but nobody is saying that this this game did not popularized the genre, so I'm not sure why you seem to be arguing that. ~ Dissident93 20:32, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
- Why do you think I am arguing? I even wrote "To be fair, it has been noted in the article, but that section needs expansion." Can you just WP:GF? EchoBlu (talk) 00:21, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
- Because you typed all of this when you could have simply said the article could use some expansion. Its impact on the MOBA genre and esports as a whole is known, no need to point that out on a talk page. ~ Dissident93 11:07, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
- When did explaining suggestion become problem on Misplaced Pages? EchoBlu (talk) 11:53, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
- I suggest understanding that Misplaced Pages is a general-purpose encyclopedia, and game details and mechanics like last-hitting are not relevant to include. Most of what you're talking about above isn't covered in reliable sources and thus should not be included. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs 04:03, 1 December 2019 (UTC)

Featured Article review
This article has a lot of problems for a Featured Article, and I'm not sure if there's going to be anyone willing to pick this one up. A brief list of what I've noticed:
- Obvious spelling and grammatical errors throughout;
- A huge dearth of reliable sourcing
- The MOBA genre, which this inspired, has changed a lot, and I don't think it’s got an FA-level "legacy" section by any means.
If anyone is willing to bring this one up to snuff, let me know! Otherwise, it will eventually have to go to WP:FAR. — ImaginesTigers (talk) 01:44, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
