    Incredible game with a lot of depth and complexity. It does have a huge learning curve and can be frustrating, but that's not a bad thing. There are a plethora of resources and communities that can aid you in learning. Learning how to deal with frustration and stress in the game allows you to apply it to your everyday life (if you still have one after getting addicted).

    Valve is a great company that cares about its customers, and I've spent more time playing Dota 2 than pretty much any other game ever, despite being late to the party. It's a great, addictive, life sucking game and it is run by a company that has no peers, and definitely does not deserve any of the vitriolic behavior some of the community has thrown at it.

    Also: RECIEVED DIRETIDE

    DoA 2 is one of the deepest, most engaging experiences ever created. You can easily lose thousands of hours playing it. It is social, tactical, has an enormous skill ceiling, and has a great developer behind it continuing to shape and push the game into better and better places.

    One of the best, most difficult and truly competitive games I've ever played. It is free and doesn't have any pay-to-win, all heroes are free, the only paid content are cosmetical items that DO NOT change gameplay.

    Dota2 is a very exciting, team based, rpg-like Game with the amazing attribute, that every match you play is different. The last user-submitted scores were pretty low due to missing updates from Valve, which they apologized for. Nevertheless is Dota2 really good and has a huge competitive scene.

    Very fun game, and while the community can go on the fritz sometimes it is still very enjoyable to play. I recommend learning/playing this game with friends, it makes the entire experience more pleasant. While the knowledge to learn might be a bit daunting, once you get a grip on it you should find yourself playing more and more.

The hours I've spent learning this game (which is a substantial number) was completely worth it, as every win I get makes me feel invincible, and every loss really makes me think about what went wrong.

    However, some parts of the developer's work is a little bit confusing, and perhaps even downright disappointing. Valve has, for a long time, been a community friendly company, at least very much above the average. So when updates come for months at a time and offer only hats, when proper game mechanics updates are promised more regularly, and seemingly trivial bugs aren't fixed, the frustration is quick to set in.

    All in all, a real great game to play with a couple friends regularly. The cosmetics are a very awesome addition to the game, and are usually very fitting, and really cool, but now and again a couple questionables get in. When Icefrog updates heroes and their abilities, there's always a very interesting change that changes the game substantially, which once again just adds to the replayability.

    I highly recommend this game, but only if you have a few hundred hours you can dedicate to just learning game mechanics, hero's abilities, and the map. It will seriously take that long.    … Expand

    The game balance is quite interesting. If you like a competitive scene, DotA has by far the most entertaining scene in gaming history. If you are hardcore there is plenty to see and enjoy. If you just like to see people win money there are casters that will make you piss your pants.

    In DotA you will encounter some flame yes, but there are moments in this game that bring such a smile to your face they will last a lifetime. If you don't play DotA you're cheating yourself out of an experience of a lifetime.    … Expand

    Compared to Dota 1, it feels alot better. Great graphics and production value. Easily beat down cartoon-like features of LoL, and poor graphics in Warcraft3. This game is the best!

    This game improved so much since it was released on the beta. There are over 90 heroes to choose from currently and the gamplay is as intence and as rewarding as DOTA 1. I know alot of people will be hesitant to try it at first but there has been a new tutorial system implemented in DOTA 2 and I think it will help new comers.

    Amazing game, they finally listenend and gave Diretide to us! I've played 5 years (and am still playing) wc3 DotA, and I have played around 1500 LoL games. DotA and Dota 2 are, hands down, the best MOBA/ARTS games. The community is great and the game is very balanced and skill-based.

    I have to say it's a pretty good game. Valve really delivered about as I would have expected based on playing several of their other titles. The graphics settings make it so that you can play the game on a rather sub-par computer (although I still can't seem to make good use of my 144Hz). It's free, too, so pick it up and try it.

    The game is amazing and well balanced. The only thing that need to improve is increasing the number of employee dedicated exclusively with Dota2. The fact that Valve step back and finally talked about Diretide is a good and valuable point.

    One of the best, most difficult and truly competitive games I've ever played. It is free and doesn't have any pay-to-win, all heroes are free, the only paid content are cosmetical items that DO NOT change gameplay.

    This is a game where there are 10 people playing at once, in a highly competitive environment. If you can't take the occasional flame or bad game, don't play simple as that, because you will have a bad time.

    BUT there is so much upside, especially if you can play with friends and be more coordinated.

    A remake of the original DOTA with better graphics and its own engine, DOTA2 is definitely the best game of its genre. It is incredibly focused on keeping the game balanced while still keeping it an incredible challenge. It's hard to get started at first, but once you get into it there's no escape from the fun of DOTA2.

    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.
