Since you are factoring in personal experience I never played War3 and my group of buddies weren't big War3 fans at all and we all jumped on WoW because the BETA made a strong impression. You can't just assume all early growth was because warcraft fans purchased that for a new game and migrated over. WoW owe's it's existence to EQ, AC and Prior MMO of establishing the genera. So yeah WoW owes it's existence to Warcraft just as much as Dota 2 owes it's existence to War3 for its. Dota 2 does owe its existence to War 3...technically all of MOBAs owe it to War 3. Well if you really want to get technical, they owe their existence to Starcraft because Dota 1 originated from the SC/Brood War map Aeon of Strife. And yes, Warcraft 3 saw massive drops in battle.net players within a few months after WoW. The first few months to even year of WoW were mostly Blizzard fans only, and some others that maybe wanted something new from FF11 (who probably also played SC/Diablo at some point too...).
