PostSubject: History of MOBA v2   Thu Dec 29, 2011 3:14 pm

Well it's certainly been awhile. So let's talk about misinformation.

The MOBA genre has long since been heralded as the next big E-sport, however, it's origins are shrouded in mystery, mostly because places like wikipedia have nonsense posted like the following:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dota (Wiki link)
Quote:
Among the DotA variants created in the wake of Eul's map, there was DotA Allstars, developed by modder Steve Feak (under the alias Guinsoo); this version would become today's dominant version of the map, simply known as Defense of the Ancients.[16] Feak said when he began developing DotA Allstars, he had no idea how popular the game would eventually become; the emerging success of the gametype inspired him to design a new title around what he considered an emerging game genre.[17] Feak added a recipe system for items so that player's equipment would scale as they grew more powerful, as well as a powerful boss character called Roshan (named after his bowling ball) who required an entire team to defeat.[14]


Was recently modified to seem less incredibly biased in favor of Riot's agenda and yet it still has a great deal of bias in favor of Steve Guinsoo Feak.

Is a huge pile of inaccuracies as well.

It is clearly biased in favor of Guinsoo. Notice how it gives him credit for a large amount of the popularity of DotA when it is absolutely false.

The bias is thick and the bullshit is not far behind it.
I will dissect that video sometime down the road.


(More BS sources to be explained later... )
