Valve announces a "surprise" at E3

Yeah I actually forgot that they hired Icefrog, could we see Valves entry into DotA style gameplay? I hope so.

Oh god no... please no!

I'm not much of a DotA fan either, largely due to the community, but I think the mechanics are a great idea and if it's integrated with steam Valve may have yet another winner on their hands.

It's always nice to have a serious developer step in and stir up a genre. It would make for some decent competition in a market currently held by DotA(which is a map/mod), HoN(which is a DotA clone) and LoL(which is fun, but not that big).

Plus new IPs are always welcome.
