Literally Meaning, "Sword That Cuts Through Torsos", In Japanese. The Dotanuki Was The Katana Carried By The Kaishakunin. It's Slightly Longer Then A Normal Katana and Is Weighted On The Curved Side, Making It Much Heavier Too. Because Of The Weight The Kaishakunin Was Able To Perform Kaishaku Usually In One Cut, Making For A More Humane Death.

Get the Dotanuki mug.The Dota genre is an emerging gaming genre popular in the streets of New York and Michigan.
The objective of games in the Dota Genre is for each team to destroy the opponents' crib - heavily guarded structures at opposing corners of the hood.
Players level up their gangs and use the dough to buy equipment during the gang wars. Leveling up improves the gangster's toughness and damage and allows players to pimp their weapons or skills.
The game is highly team-oriented; it is difficult for one player to carry the team to victory alone. Nevertheless, some great players can change the outcome single-handedly like Michael Jordan did with the Jazz back in '98.
Most Dota Genre Games offer a variety of game modes, selected by the noob game host at the beginning of the match. The most prevalent game mode in the World Cyber Games is Easy Mode (EM)

Homie # 1: Yo dawg, haven't seen Ice Homie here in Detroit for awhile. Wanted to play some dota genre.
Homie # 2: Yeah, Ice Homie's been busy hanging out with his new crew in Washington. Heard they're workin' on their Dota genre skills.
Homie #3 (arrives): You got that right Homie #2. We have secret Dota genre training goin' on. And there ain't nuthin you can do about it. Heck, we even trademarked Dota for good measure to make some dough.
Homie #4: (whines) Fo' real? You trademarked Dota? Why? (cries)
Ice Homie: Stop whining Homie #4, go up to your room and play Hello Kitty Online.

Dont Do That You Dotard!
by All Hail The Monkey Man October 14, 2003
Get the Dotard mug.DotA stands for Defence of the Ancients. Though was origonally created by Eul for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, it was then brought into The Frozen Throne, and slowly became the most popular WCIII Custom map out there.
Right now, Icefrog has created DotA Allstars, the best and newest versions of DotA.
Though DotA is popular, about half the people on B.net like it, and half the others don't.
The game used to be awesome, but once ideas were being stolen from other maps, and all the players became 10 year old "n00bs" some people dislike it.
The majority of people who don't like it are mappers. Why, may you ask? Well, it's either because:
1) DotA stole their ideas
or
2) DotA whipes out any chance of their maps ever getting popular.
-
Though DotA is no longer at it's peek. DotA is slowing being played less and less, but very slowly.
That is because it does not change enough. You can play the map only so many times before it eventually has to get boring.
If you have any comments about this, simply post your own definition ^_^

A Warcraft 3 map originally made by a guy calling himself Eul, who left the map to be edited by others.
The flow of new stuff coming to the latest, and most popular version of DotA, DotA Allstars has been rather slow lately, but still many people play this map, both in public games and in private clan games. It is not hard to find a DotA game with players of your own skill level.
What more can be said about DotA is that the word pawned is used in a way that makes people think that it's the same as pwnd, meaning owned. The word pwnd hardly comes from DotA though. Also shorts, like GG (meaning Good Game) and B (meaing pull back) are overused by some players.
DotA is fun, if you play it with the right person/people.
However, many people play DotA to annoy people that really want to play the map and have fun.

"An enemy has picked Goblin Techies"
Techies buy 6 Ironwood Branches and run to the middle of the map, dropping all of them. Then he runs towards the closest enemy tower, blowing himself up.
Player with Techies writes: "GG i leave, DotA is for n00bs!"
Player with Techies leaves the game.
