Tower defense was popularized by Starcraft mods.
Dota, and so LOL, is often thought of as something coming from Warcraft 3 Defense of the Ancient, but the concept really started as a starcraft mod as well.
Of lot of the gaming culture is born on the original Battle.net.
SC 1 was one of the most influential game ever created.
- jhelphenstine 2y agoI remember the map “V-TEC paintball” as a forerunner of the DotA and LOL styles - endless waves with you the (battlecruiser | marine | ghost) running around making the difference. HotS, LOL, DotA all seem to trace back to those “paintball” custom maps and the creators who made terrific use of the tools on offer.

- ccvannorman 2y agoCame here to comment the same. I was making fun of my housemates for being addicted to DOTA (a MOBA game), then during a "Use Map Settings" game of Starcraft I discovered and enjoyed playing a mod called "Aeon of Strife" and shared it with my housemates. DOTA is a direct descendant of Aeon of Strife. I had discovered the original DOTA, inside Starcraft.
