Imagine Mario Party but for Dota, that's essentially what Uther Party was in a nutshell. A group of friends join the game in compete in a series of mini-games, each last a few minutes. My favourite was the in-game quiz, fastest answer won points, but there were lots of mini-games to remember. Ideal for when you're drunk, high or in low priority to cool off and chillax.
2. Run Kitty Run
As the title suggests you control a kitty (it was the Priestess of the Moon model in wc3), and try to leap and dodge past obstacles, all to the tune of terrible trance music. It looks easy but it definitely wasn't. Good fun with friends.
3. Footman Frenzy
Another WC3 mod already been attempted by custom map designs for Dota 2, but still yet to reach the beauty of the original. The aim of the game was to help your swarm of footmen defeat the opposing enemies footmen. It's like Dota creeps vs creeps but on steroids as the video demonstrates. (the video is 3x btw so don't get a heart attack)
4. Tower Line Defense
There were many different versions of Tower Defense but the concept is the same. Enemies would spawn and go through a maze to reach the centre or end point. Your job was to stop them ever reaching their goal by spending gold and upgrading towers to kill them. Nice bit of strategy involved to decide where to play your towers and when to upgrade. If you let too many enemies through you lost.
5. Micro Arena
For those who liked mods similar to the original wc3, micro arena allowed players to practise "micro" a term not often used in Dota 2 but which means the ability to control multiple units effectively. Micro Arena had different levels of difficulty, giving you and your opponent the same or similar group of units and placed you in a confined space to see who had the best micro.
6. Poke the Ogre
About as pointless as Candy Crush but equally addictive, Poke the Ogre was a silly wc3 mod which for reasons hard to explain was actually entertaining to play. The point of the game was to enrage the Ogre so that he went bonkers and you tried to survive when that happened.
7. Enfo's Team Survival
Much like Footman Frenzy, an attempt has been made to revive the wc3 mod in Dota 2 but doesn't really run smoothly as the original. The original in terms of a concept was new, you got to pick your hero from Warcraft3 and take part in blood carnage as you took on waves of monsters and upgraded your heroes skills and purchased items. Sounds familiar? Well at the time it was a new and it was definitely a lot of fun. Perhaps if random ability draft mode could be used but on a new map it could give Enfo's a new twist.
8. Sheep vs Wolf/Sheep Tag
You were a sheep who for no apparently reason could construct buildings. A bit like Pingu except you built farms to block the hunters from killing you. You were slim enough to pass through two buildings but you had to keep your wits about you to avoid getting slaughtered. High tempo and fun for those who like a bit of a clicking frenzy.
9. Islands TD
A semi-TD game with a slightly different twist, Islands TD had a nice design that broke away from the stone labrynths of the more traditional maps. Dota 2 has very little water in the original map, so would be nice to explore what a nautical/carribean style map would look like in the new Source 2 engine.
10. Warlock Brawl
According to our readers one of the "most popular wc3 mods of all time", doesn't need much introduction besides this video. FFA!!!
BONUS: Pudge Wars
Well this one has actually already been created in Dota 2, and featured in a showmatch during the Summit (video below). One of the most popular mods back in the day, will be nice to see this upgraded and moved to the main client in the future.
What Wc3 mod do you want to see return in Dota 2 Reborn?
