LoD Modes & Commands - ResQ

Posted Image

DracoL1ch, ResQ & Vordik's LoD DotA Mod

1. What is Legends of DotA? (LoD):
Legends of DotA, or in short, LoD, is a DotA modification. It allows you to pick and mix skills from the original DotA map as you like. You can pick almost every combination you can think of, there are almost no limits - you can create new heroes within a few clicks and play with them!
Ever imagined playing a hero with over 900 range? Just pick Sniper's Take Aim and Lanaya's Psi Blades and you're good to go! There are countless possibilities!
LoD Maps do not have AI support. They can only be played with Warcraft 3 patch (1.26). Patch 1.24 or below or 1.27, 1.28 or above are not compatible with LoD.

 

 

2. Where can I play LoD?
Ranked Gaming Client (RGC, Download client: www.rankedgaming.com) free hostbots for every player in every region of the world, a community-style interface and room system (similar to IRC or original Warcraft 3 Battle.net) and many other advantages.

If you're in South America, type: /j lod sa
If you're in Asia, type: /j lod asia
If you're in Iran, type /j iran lod
If you're in the USA, type /j lod usa
