I'm probably fighting windmills but here it goes: DotA did not start the AoS genre which is now called MOBA. In fact the first AoS map was the map Aeon of Strife, made for StarCraft. There were tons of AoS maps before and tons of AoS maps after DotA. But i agree when you say DotA mad the AoS genre popular even though there were other very well known AoS maps beside DotA (EotA, AotZ, DoE, ToB, AoS GT, etc.).
