The "dota syndrome" is basically a form of fear for change that the individual fights at first but after a time grows accustomed to and even starts to enjoy.
The term comes from the action-rpg game DotA, which is regularly updated in different "versions" by it's sole developer Icefrog. In some of those versions, very major changes are made to the game that might effect the very core of the gameplay. When the changelog for such a version is released, many fans tend to complain about the changes before they've actually tried it (called "theorycrafting"). After a few days however, pretty much all of the people who previously complained have adapted to the changes and realised they were for the best. Then a few months afterwards, a new version is released and the pattern repeats itself.

I can't believe they've changed the taste of my favourite soda!
Don't worry about it, you're just suffering from dota syndrome. You will never notice the difference soon enough.

Get the Dota syndrome mug.The effect caused by spending large amounts of time with your instrument/vocal part causing the instrument/parts personality to take over. For example, trumpet players become more self-centered and egocentric, whereas cellists become perfectionists, and the people singing the baritone part mellow out. This can be achieved in varying degrees, but begins to show up the moment someone gets an instrument or vocal part.
Dude, what happened to Todd? He used to be so hyperactive before he joined choir.
Don't worry, he's probably just be suffering from Musician’s Syndrome.

Get the Musician’s Syndrome mug.This is when a fat or unattractive looking women believes she is hot and can have any man she desires.
The grenade is the less attractive of the women in her group. They often get approched first by men. As this is often the way the group of men initiate conversation with the group of women. Thus giving the grenade a false sense of popularity and attractiveness level. Aka grenade syndrome.

My fat friend told me that she loves going out clubbing as she can get any man she wants. I dont want to tell her that she has grenade syndrome!

Get the Grenade Syndrome mug.People that post statuses on facebook just to get sympathy from all their followers. You can generally spot these people by having three statuses in a row that talk about bad things happening to them. It's very similar to Munchausen disease, but the sympathy comes from comments people reply to their posts.

Jan sure is psycho and paranoid. Any little thing can set her off. She yelled at her neighbors the other day for climbing their fence. She's been diagnosed with Tayer's syndrome. She's got cameras in her front yard. I think I'll walk by there and flip her off.

Get the Tayer's Syndrome mug.Being ridiculously sexy and sweet without any effort. A girl with Larissa syndrome is unaware of her condition. Having this condition may cause many men to approach her.

Get the Larissa Syndrome mug.An unhealthy obsession with the past and a refusal to live in the present. Symptoms include constant reminiscing about stories, people or events from college despite graduation having taken place in a different century than the one we now live in.
Dave has come down with a terminal case of Forts Syndrome. He spent the entire night on Facebook stalking his college hook-ups and sending them text messages asking if they were going to the MAAC tournament....they had moved on from 1998....sadly, he had not.
