    You deprive the players of interaction! 6000 - to write to the chat, 8000 - to talk - it's too much!

You're just killing the game on a low rating and a mid-level rating. Terrible update! Fat dislike!

    it kills the desire to play! a few of my friends have drop Dota 2 after this patch. back to mute by default, so that the player decides - unlock teammate or not!

    Dota had its pinnacle with Dota 2 Source 1, then came Reborn and Valves wish to sell more stuff such as terrain tile sets, it came with a lot of bugs and player base took a major hit, but it was still Dota so people slowly started to come back to this uglier version.

However it seams Valve wasn't happy with Dota`s loyal fan base giving them a lot of $, so directors decided they need to attract hots and lol players. Thus came patch 7.00 ruining Dota forever. Now Dota 2 is no longer Dota. All competitive factors are lost and its greatness is lost due to greed. Small example; player HUD used to be same size for all heroes, now it changes from hero to hero covering more or less screen space thus making it unequal. Entire patch was made to decrees skill needed to play aka pro plays are less rewarding. I don`t blame Icefrog I guess he got tricked. Rip Dota, it was safer in Blizzards hands... Expand

    Худшая игра в мире. В общей суме я потратил на нее 5к часов и очень жалею об этом.
    Немного плюсов:
    1) С друзьями +- играбельно, даже можно фулл стаком положительные эмоции испытывать, но зачастую лишь когда вы в 5 фанитесь; 2) В игре есть интересные кастомки. Причины почему игра худшая: 1) Вообще нет баланса, в каждом патче есть имбы и эти самые патчи выходят 1 раз в хуеву тучу лет.

    2) На любом рейтинге тима из 4-5 чсв, которые играют на корах и садятся на саппорта только тогда, когда нужны жетоны чтобы играть на коре.
    3) Ты проебешь на ап своего скилла огромное количество времени, чтобы по итогу ничего не добиться в 95% случаев.
    4) Худшее комьюнити, в доте абсолютно нормально переходить на личности: говорить, что ты чью-то мать трахал, что у кого-то отец мертвый и т.д.
    В общем советую вообще не заходить в эту игру, лишь потратите свое время и нервы.

    Started like DOTA in 2012. Every year closer and closer to LOL, and after all, even HON. Especially, some changes were copied from HON to DOTA2 and reversed.

    After years, it is turned into a colorful Chinese circus, not so far from LOL. All is schematized, predictable and gameplay is alot about farming. Fighting is more similar to LOL. More burst, heroes with more active spells (Drow
    Started like DOTA in 2012. Every year closer and closer to LOL, and after all, even HON. Especially, some changes were copied from HON to DOTA2 and reversed.

    After years, it is turned into a colorful Chinese circus, not so far from LOL. All is schematized, predictable and gameplay is alot about farming. Fighting is more similar to LOL. More burst, heroes with more active spells (Drow Ranger, Bloodseeker, Dazzle, Crobelus etc.), in general, more quicker gameplay like "competitive" scene need and wanted, especially China "competitive" scene.

    The community around the game is snobbish, and arrogant, convinced of their perfection because they play DOTA2. Because it is DOTA - hard and elite, not at all. Far easier than DOTA.
    DOTA+ is a pay-to-play program. Which gives those paying "clients" what they deserve. Backslapping games full of "owning" those players, which aren't so good. To boost their ego. There is no reason to waste time with this crap.
    Until competitive pro-players do not care about fair-play, which they never do, they are only circus apes of Valve.

    Valve bought it to have at least one MOBA game, especially a fanbase that mindlessly adores them, because they make DOTA like they want, which does not mean, how DOTA needs to be.

    Gameplay is farming, sometimes fighting and denying. Boring.

    Valve is printing users of this game by adding it to every library of every user. What a garbage!

    Dota 2 is one of the worst games in MOBA history, it went from the most fundamental game into unconditional absolute chaos.
    Somehow, Dota 2 do not care about its player base and teaches them where to lane or what a "carry" is and making the game time-consuming and stressful to play because you couldn't dodge, abandon without getting punished, avoid a match or have unlimited avoid reports,

    Somehow, Dota 2 do not care about its player base and teaches them where to lane or what a "carry" is and making the game time-consuming and stressful to play because you couldn't dodge, abandon without getting punished, avoid a match or have unlimited avoid reports, and a way to stop other players from being too dense or untrusted.

    Once a great game, ruined by a terrible company that leaches on other companies to thrive.

    Очень токсичное коммьюнити, странное переосмысление вселенной warcraft. Начал играть в 2012, запуская игру в 2022 сталкиваешься с огромным количеством механик и слишком высоким уровнем входа в игру. В остальном - хорошая моба, но плохая игра.Очень токсичное коммьюнити, странное переосмысление вселенной warcraft.

    And this dichotomy is perhaps the best descriptor I can attach to Dota 2. It is frequently a game which occupies two opposite spaces simultaneously. It is the best game. It is also the worst game. No game has ever made me as miserable as Dota 2 has. But no game has made me feel so consistently rewarded for my time, and as consistently, wonderfully connected to the friends I play it with.
