Nov 1, 2013Fantastic game which has managed to keep me enraptured for 300+ hours and with no sign of slowing. While updates aren't always lightning fast, they are worth the wait. Don't let some whining children poison your view of it.

Nov 2, 2013Thanks for your hat, Volvo! Seriously though, Is money takes up your whole mind already or something? Why kept silence to your Dota 2 community? It's your game, Valve, not belong anybody else, and why you still doing this to your Dota 2 fan? Hats? more like a big you" to the community...

Nov 1, 2013DOTA is a great game.
Valve promised us a new and good Dota experience, and after 3 years we still got no Dota.
This DOTA2 is no Dota.
This is a game made by a whore company who doesnt even care about their community.
I dont want HATS. I want the game you promised us! -

Nov 8, 2013just to be fair, i have to change the rating from 0 to 10, valve had finally communicate with us, they will ship diretide in the next update, although it is a bit late. Yet, it is a great improvement that valve started to listen to the community.
-
Nov 2, 2013I'm from Ukraine too, and I do not care whether or not Diretide, I thing in this game is a team game, and because of the lack of Diretide, I'm not going to put this game a bad score. But, I will say only one thing, Valve, do not forget about the players, and they will not forget about you.

Nov 8, 2013After a week of silence, you've finally answered, took you long enough but I guess better late than ever. However, you should REALLY hire someone in charge of community here because you're seriously lacking in that department.

Nov 9, 2013This is one of the deepest and best games I've ever played, the balancing is done regularly, the graphics are awesome and so on. If u ever wanted to play a MOBA u should really play this game because it out-classes every other game in it's genre!

Nov 1, 2013By far the classiest, most sophisticated and in-depth PvP game out there. The developers took a game that was already top notch and added features where it counted most.

Nov 1, 2013Excellent game, with much more sophisticated mechanics than LoL. It is very unforgiving and requires lots of effort to master it sufficiently enough to know what needs to be done (doing it is even harder). #nodiretide2013

Nov 28, 2013This 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. I know some people who play LOL might bash in this game, but bot…

Nov 9, 2013BEST GAME EVER,playing this game for over 7 years (including Dota 1).
This game has future of eSport,mby you will become new eSport star if you give this game a try and earn milion dolars or you if nothing will have fun every day like me for next 7 years and more. -
Nov 8, 2013Dota 2 is an utterly brilliant PvP game that is ultra-hard and requires friends for the best experience. There is a steep learning curve and a lot of characters to get used to but the game is really worth it.

Nov 1, 2013this is a great game, but yeah i think valve should communicate more.
don't listen to these spammers, their comments are awful nad they are just mad over nothing -
Nov 9, 2013Great game ruined by terrible company that is not involved enough with it's playerbase, zero communication, dubious approach to bug fixing and balance.

Nov 1, 2013This isnt a joke, going around giving false scores on games you clearly have played and enjoyedm why else would you be mad about not getting diretide... unless you are one of those guys that just wantes the items, and to u i say go buy them ur seld..

Nov 1, 2013diretide when i wasn't playing but of course when Halloween comes around when i DO play no diretide. wtf this makes 150 characters you son of a beetch

Nov 1, 2013Dota2 was the best game in the world until a fat man as gabe newell (pepito grillo) ruined our game with no communication, no diretide, NO HEROES, HE LAUNCHED THE OFFICIAL GAME AND THEN WENT ON HOLIDAYS OR WENT SLEEPING HIS FAT FACE A 0.

Nov 8, 2013thx Valve for saving Dota2 it was doomed if it would have stayed in warcraft 3 time was destroying dota 1 everyday thx for introducing those amazing graphics and introducing cosmetics really made this game shine matchmaking is good it's really fun to play this game been there since the begining an probably will stay there till the end
-
Nov 1, 2013This is the game that never stops giving. Extremely balanced with a lively and shifting professional scene. This game will certainly go down as one of the most popular e-sports of our time.
-
Nov 2, 2013This game is great. Just because we didnt get diretide, it doesnt mean please should give it a bad score.
Valve has imprved the game a lot since it was released. People need to grow up. -
Nov 9, 2013The only F2P, not pay-to-win game on the market. Valve knows how to apologise, Heroes are free, game is great. Steep learning curve but very satisfying. Just hope that they keep it up
-
Nov 1, 2013DOTA is a perfect blend of action and strategy. This game requires deep, thoughtful tactics, while also demanding quick thinking and skill to pull off said tactics. It's the original ARTS and it is by far the best as well.

Nov 1, 2013R.I.P Diretide... DOTA 2 wonderful game. Invokerfor life. Very deep game with a great pvp experience. After 1500 hours of game u still learn and enjoy the gameplay. Tournaments and Dota tv makes it just perfect. We wait for custom maps.

Nov 1, 2013Valve is unable to communicate with the community at all.
Not a single word is said about what is going on, no updates just money whores.
How can a company seriously be so retarded if it would be so easy to just tell us what is going on. -
Nov 1, 2013The greatest multiplayer game ever made, with absolutely beautiful design and unparalleled finesse. Not as hard to get into as most people say, but there are constantly new skills to develop and things to learn. This is a game in its purest form not a hand-holding interactive story. Rewarding and very, very fun.

Nov 9, 2013You guys listened to the community. Thank you for that. Its not about Diretide, its about the fact that the community is the sole reason Dota 2 is where it is now, we love hats, but we need you to care about us.

Nov 8, 2013Very good game. Quite addictive and mentally rewarding if you take the time to learn it. Playing with friends will help make the experience a lot better.

Nov 1, 2013Don't mind me just doing my best to try and counteract these negative reviews. Although the silence from Valve was awful I still think that Dota is a great game.
-
Nov 1, 2013Great game, I don't feel Valve is ignoring their community. They use subtile hints a lot but the kids in the community won't get it. It feels more like brats who have been given everything but still rage because now they want a pony too.
-
Nov 1, 2013Brilliant game, highly additive and totally free to play. You will have played hundreds of games before you realise it and still be learning new strategy and each heroes quirks.

Nov 2, 2013Great game,but people like that just can't wait for dire tide and give it a 0.all i have to say about that is you accomplished nothing except giving valve a reason not to add diretide and based on how you acted they shouldn't. Thanks Dota community for being a bunch of spoiled brats

Nov 1, 2013I've played this game for almost 9 years now and I don't regret a minute of that time. Incredible depth, ever-changing experience, awesome gameplay. The top game which set and made it's genre and the top game of that genre. Seriously, if you haven't tried it yet, just go and give it a few hundred hours, you won't regret it.

Nov 1, 2013The best e-sports game I've played since CS 1.5/1.6. With lots of different tactics and heroes to play, you can basically play the game in so many different ways that it never gets old. It still keeps the good old wc3 dota in mind (under icefrog) and is doing a great job at it! Would play the game any day (10/10).

Nov 1, 2013I understand that many people were waiting for diretide last 3 days. But it is not reason to underestimate the game assessment. Valve didn't promise you anything, so why do you so angry? Game really good and you will play this game for many years.

Nov 1, 2013Valve recognizes the hardship that many students down in Australia are facing right now with exams just starting. They're so respectful not to punish us by releasing a Halloween update but instead give us an opportunity to not procrastinate. Well done Valve!
TL;DR: Valve loves Aussies. #VLA -

Aug 15, 2017And 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.
