Well sc1 had exactly 1 ums map (aos) that inspired the original dota maker, I doubt he would have made dota without it. And every single similar game type spawned off of dota after it became popular.
E: and I mean it is not like I'm saying there would be no fps without wolfenstein, fps is very similar to real life obviously it would have been made at some point, but the dota game type is pretty different from anything. It is hard to imagine someone else randomly coming up with the idea.
I think the minions and line of towers is what makes it unique
The rest of MOBAs are pretty standard stuff
