Legends of DotA

Ever wondered what it would be like if you are goblin techies had Kardel's take aim, Lanaya's psi blade then use enchantress' impetus?

                                                        

or see your hero 1 shot the entire enemy team with  Raigor's enchant totem, Gondor's jinada and  Kunkka's tide bringer?

Then this is the game for you. Legend of DotA or LoD is a DotA mod map made by Lordshijo were you can pick which skills your hero can learn!
