I don't understand why people think this concept that using exactly the same heroes is fine for DotA 2. The art for the heroes was not made by the creators of DotA, they were made by staff at Blizzard.
Now Valve are basing their characters off many of the Warcraft 3 characters/ models because they hired someone who maintains a mod for the game. Since when was that ok?
I don't feel like arguing about this, especially since someone else shares my opinion as well, so I am clearly not alone here.
The point of Dota 2 was to be a continuation of DotA. Both games will be updated together until DotA 1 falls off the map. If everything goes the way it was planned you should be able to use the same strategies from Dota 2 in DotA 1. If they changed the characters it wouldn't follow IceFrogs plan for the game.
Some history on DotA. Not even Eul came up with the initial idea. DotA 2 has no new heroes because it is a direct port from DotA 1. Both DotA 1 and DotA 2 will be updated together as long as there is interest in the first one.
Being a long time DotA player, I do like the route that Valve/Icefrog is taking. I hope they keep a lot of the tricks still in DotA2 like there is in the warcraft 3 engine and remove some of the bugs that occur.

So you happen to know what I am going to do/not do? I have been playing Dota for 5+ years. I will be purchasing Dota 2.
