DOTA is not my kind of maps, or any Tug of War map actually... I just hate sitting here with only a hero, doing nothing but killing mobs for an hour until things start to heat so fast that I get killed and keep losing over and over again (or crushing my enemies in a minute, if I'm in the good team). Besides, DOTA is not original at all anymore, so I'll join my fellows above and agree that DOTA is not worth your time. Unless of course you're able to find something really unique for this genre, but I think Blizzard and/or Valve are already one step or two ahead of you on that already...
However, I'm pretty sure TD maps can be worth it if, and only if, you're able to find something really REALLY unique. As an example, I remember I had much fun when I saw the first TD map where you had to generate energy for your towers to work. Same goes the first time I saw a TD map where creating a maze was mandatory to win... And so on... There are lots of these maps now, but if you are able to make something completely new, which can be a source of inspiration for other map makers, then YES I'd probably be interested in a TD map.
Even knowing that, I still have to agree with other members here: DOTA and TD maps are getting boring, whatever you do with them. Even if you find a nice idea, people will get bored because there are so many maps of that kind already (bad ones, by the way)... We'd all rather see something simple but unique, and I'm pretty sure that's why Star Battle have had so much success since it came out.
