The "dota syndrome" is basically a form of fear for change that the [individual] fights at first but after a time grows accustomed to and even starts to enjoy. The term comes from the action-rpg game DotA, which is regularly updated in different "versions" by it's sole [developer] Icefrog. In some of those versions, very major changes are made to the game that might effect the very core of the gameplay. When the changelog for such a version is released, many fans tend to complain about the changes before they've actually tried it (called "theorycrafting"). After a few days however, [pretty much] all of the people who previously complained have adapted to the changes and realised they were for the best. Then a few months afterwards, a new version is released and the pattern repeats itself.
