With the new dota 2 reborn coming out (custom game making is better than ever), is it possible or does it interest you guys to move this great game mode to the dota 2 steam platform? Over there, it will attract a ton more audience as opposed to the dying warcraft 3 community.

I hope to see this map fully moved over there so we can get a easier way to playing games.. Thank you

As can be seen here http://cdn.dota2.com...esOverview.webm the custom game "Legends of Dota" already exists.

It's already being worked on by a different person (Ash47) who refused any help we offered. I don't know his progress and it's been a while since I tried the custom game, last time I played it, it was quite buggy and rather annoying to operate, but it was already visible that he's definitely oriented his custom game at the map (as there are different modes and submodes you can select in the custom game, similar to our wc3 LoD)

It would obviously be great if we had current LoD 1:1 in Dota 2, but it's really really difficult and time-consuming, a "conversion" would take years - LoD is much more indepth than Dota in itself.

Thanks for responding.. Yeah there is a version by (Ash47) that is being worked on but it seems completely different and extremely buggy. The game itself and the interface is beyond unplayable that I haven't gotten passed the character screen in the 6 games I joined. LoD on the warcraft3  client is pretty much perfectly made right now (like an actual game instead of a custom map) except the traffic of warcraft 3 primary and playerbase of it is so shitty. 
 

I 100% agree that it is very annoying to operate and buggy. I am not a programmer or game creator myself so I wouldn't know how long it takes but with the new REBORN tools, I believe custom map makers have a lot more offered to them wih this new update and can do a lot more.. You guys should check it out  

 

May I asked who offered help that he refused? I remember talking to him a long time ago and reporting about some factors of the map that was very off from how it should be as opposed to the one over here and he seemed pretty interested and what not 

 

None the less, Thanks for all the great work you have done so far and keep up the good work!!!!

 

P.S. I think you guys should go on with creating another LoD in dota 2 as oppose to the current one if (ash47) don't want help.. The interest of the game is already so great itself and in good demand.

I don't know if Draco Codo is fluent at lua but even if he was it would be a massive undertaking. The Dota 2 Alpha workshop tools got changed a bit when Reborn was launched in beta and the same will most likely happen during Reborn/when it's launched.
