    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great game but bad developer.no communication between valve and dota 2 communities.MORE HATS DEAD GAME
    Never In my entire life have I witnessed a worse community revolving around a video-game than the one that is to be found in Dota 2. The players are: Egotistic, ego centric, unsporting, aggressive, hostile, uncaring, mean, mistrusting, immature, callous, apathetic and incredibly pretentious while at every loss prompting everyone inside the current game to "Report player X" if someone on their team was even remotely new to the game or did any other action not sanctified by them, be it going in what lane you want, not purchasing courier/wards or simply just had an unlucky run/getting cross-classed. Along with being completely miserable to be around, they frequently never speak the language in the region you're playing and nowhere else is this more apparent when russian is spammed into the chat at all times on European zones from 3 different sources at once. And if people do know English, trolling is nothing short but assured from all directions to all teams.

    Second biggest problem with this game would be the elitist mindset that orbits anyone that has played this atrocious game for more than a couple of hours. Any behavior that breaks the typical dota 2's hardcore player routine of buying tango, healing salve and iron branches, perhaps with some boots of speed if they're feeling adventurous will result in a wave of F-bombs, intentional feeding, votes of surrender, spam prompts to report player X and disconnecting users as far as the eye can see. I even had cases where players left the game because some guy forgot to buy a courier at the start of the game. And that's me overlooking the fact that killstealing off your TEAMMATES is considered average behavior/a common tactic. In LoL, you can even report people for "being unskilled". As in, anyone. Even if they're level 1.To put it bluntly, MOBA's like dota 2 give out a special kind of disgusting behavior that makes me feel physically ill for very good reasons.

    Coming close to problem number 2 is the third epic fail problem of this game. The match-making in Dota 2. Broken, poorly thought through and executed horribly. You are prompted to select a variety of regions before initiating the match-making system and the more regions you have selected, the less waiting time..

    Which begs the question, what is the point with the regional system if you're just gonna encourage people to sign up for all regions? The end result will be that nobody sticking to their geographical zones and not only causes frustration in the form of people trying to communicate and chat with eachother in the chat as described above but also disallows any kind of vocal text tactical communication since everyone does not speak the same language. In all honestly, this game is overloaded with issues just like this and I would be able to overlook this particular embarassing design-flop if it wasn't for the actual hard functionality of the MM as well being broken. The scenario on where 4-5 organized people in a group, all sitting in ventrilo/teamspeak while packing thousands of hours in Dota 2 each have a very likely possibility to be "teamed" up against new players with less than 10 hours with no complaints from the match-making system (even if there is a very large queue) throws out any chance of that. This happens particulary often if you decide to try the game out with a friend or two which leaves me with yet another question: The purpose of match-making was to find equally skilled opponents. So why is this even remotely possible? Team-based games with a mandatory MM are supposed to be fair. Not Tyrannosaurus rex VS a duckling. I'm reluctant to say that Dota 2 even has a match-making at all once you look at all the facts.

    Matchmaking needs fixing.
    Russians are running rampant so needs region lock as well.
    Report system needs tweaking
    More and more retarded hats are being added over patches like heroes and events.

    Probably the deepest and most meaningful pvp experience you can have in an online game. From Hero choices, to lanes and item selections, this game has the possibilities of chess wrapped around a ridiculously skilled rts game.

    Still learning and getting better 1000 hours in.

    This game is actually amazing. Easily the best in the genre. Valve could communicate/listen to the community more but that doesn't change the game. Shame the community has reacted in this fashion.

Noone is checking those reports. YOu can be reported for being black or for wearing glasses and believe me: YOU WILL. Valve doesnt talk with its playerbase at all, the UI sucks big time as well as the game interface nothing gets changed, you buy tournament tickets ingame: they lack casters, the casters audio lags so hard its unwatchable, very bad matchmaking that couples a very bad player with a very good player so we have a balanced team, right? RIGHT???? No ladder, no MMR, no feeling of progression. Artwork is getting up though by the weekly (very often more than once a week) Hat patches valve is making money from.

    I will never buy another steam game nor put any kind of dollar into this platform after Rome 2 and DotA 2. Thank you fat lord Gaben.

    This game is dead, it feels dead, it loses in China to LoL, it will lose in the rest of the world to LoL, Valve does not care as long as they release their hats for

The only reason i can see that valve would do something like this is so they could make more money on COMMUNITY MADE ITEMS. Dota 2 is a hellish pit of flaming and hate. You should only play it if you are prepared to lose every game because of some Cyka Br coming on your team and last picking the exact opposite character your team needs.

    Honestly Valve has disregarded the community time and time again but there are many players being swindled by their myriad of cosmetics and tournaments. Over the progression of the game, prices continuously increase and the community fanbase continuously worsens. There is no way of setting a public, free room and instead you are thrown into one of their preset matchmaking queues.

Over the progression of the game, prices continuously increase and the community fanbase continuously worsens. There is no way of setting a public, free room and instead you are thrown into one of their preset matchmaking queues. The way around this is through third party match clients such as the IXDL. Even though it is so popular Valve frantically prances around in its ignorance of implementing such a crucial system. The gameplay is average in the current battleground of MOBA games while the graphics are generally better.

    Overall I am just playing this game to make some money. Nothing more.

    They made an event for TF2, CS:GO, but not DotA 2, the game with the biggest fanbase.
    All they do is sell tickets and hats, grabing money and saying you to community.

    I refuse to believe valve is a bad company because some immature people want to spam websites and other peoples property because they don't get what they want. Please be a little more reasonable who cares about Halloween. Everyone complained about it last year so get over it. This is one of the best games out right now and people are being childish.

    First of all the game is not Valve's creation. It did a re creation of it. But it has created it into one money hogging game.

    Lot of scammers in the game and their action is just to ban the accounts as if no one can create alternate accounts.

    Takes weeks to respond to user queries/problems.

    No halloween event (or even recognition), no new heroes in over 100 days, no bugfixes, no fun game modes, only hats hats and more hats. And you barely even have to do any work to develop them, they're ALL community-submitted and made designs that you happen to

    Well, I must be honest. I think it's very childish to abuse metacritic just because you guys are angry for the event. But, I admit that this is a community reaction and the community had a big part to make DOTA2 such an awesome game.
    I believe that VALVE should handle this more carefully. You just can't ignore the community asking millions of questions about Diretide. If VALVE could

If VALVE could explain what their plan about Diretide2013 is, the reaction wouldn't be that harsh. So I hope VALVE learns from this, and pays more attention (even to the childish part of it, yeah) to the community.

I know people can be a bit hostile, I am too, that is because in this game, if someone mess it up real hard, then you most likely lose the game. People have to know which role they are playing and play it at its best in order to win the game, but also, if you play perfectly but your team or some mates doesn't then you probably won't win the game, and if you are competitive like me, then you will get mad haha. But try it out, DotA has a matchmaking system so you will play with other people with the same skills as you probably, you will stand a chance there, and eventually get more skilled. Expand

    super good game, fast paced, high skill cap, graphics are good, animations are good, so many hero to choose from (102 and more to be port from DotA), some of the heroes are funny with good voice acting and funny lines and have unique and interesting character, all heroes are free, with accessories drops every game end, etc...

    6.79 patch basically made Dota 2 into LoL 2.0 and no diretide after promising to give it last year. Horrible matchmaking continues to plague the community. While valve is busy making new HATZ for the game. Full hero roaster have not been released even months after the so called "official release". Dota 2 is simply the bastard child of Valve.

    Great game with a high skillcap. Not easily accessible without spending some time understanding the basics, however the ingame tutorial is reasonably helpful for the fundamentals. Other than that, bot practice games are expected. However, people who have watched competitive DOTA before will feel right at home.

    A really smooth and slick MOBA game, the best there is. I´ve played HoN, LoL and a few other MOBAs. Dota2 is by far the best and the most promising one for future E-sport. I will rate +8. The reason I will not give 10 is lack of public rating system and the total loss of admins to run the community and in game (russians)

    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.
