Nov 1, 2013no comunication with community,bad match making,bad server,no new heros,r.i.p diretide 2013, r.i.p valve
League of legends is better than valve he have a nice communicating with community, hype when heros release, and inform the community over work on new heros, -
Nov 1, 2013Terrible UI for MOBA. When they fixed that or make custom UI then will be a great game. Spectator mode terrible too, u can call ur friend who watch ur game and tell u bout enemy movements. And no information about all players on standart spectetor UI screen. Look at HoN, why u cant do spectator mode like there?

Nov 1, 2013120 days with no hero, 500k active players all the time and Valve can't even reuse a god damn event? Atrocious developers, I sincerely wish someone else had developed this game
-
Nov 1, 2013Rest in piece Valve. WE dont need your games. WE dont need Half-Life 3. WE dont need DIretide 2013. 3 days and 3 nights we waiting for event. And WE got nothing. I delete dota after 5 yeas playing dota1 and 2 years playing dota2. BlizzardDOta is coming. Cya

Nov 1, 2013I cannot believe the small faction of the community that is behaving in such a poor manner, all in reaction to a lack of a special holiday event which was not promised or otherwise indicated that it would occur. Valve resurrected DotA in a much needed way and is doing an amazing job with it.

Nov 1, 2013Volvo Dead Game, Didn't Give Diretide. Please Fix. Going to install League of LEgends now. Worst Game Ever. Gaben is the anti christ. I hate volvo. I am drunk. this game. EZ Rares.
-
Nov 1, 2013No heroes in 113 days.
Almost twice the player base of L4D2, CSGO, and TF2 combined. Still no Halloween update (even Cookie Clicker LoL has one)
No communication from devs.
And to top it all off they give us an update with cosmetics and more tickets? rofl -
Nov 1, 2013deep and addictive game. been hooked since dota 1 came out on wc3. 3000 hours on dota 2 and i'm still learning stuff. community is great after you get out of low mmr. also diretide is a crappy game mode.
-
Nov 1, 2013This game is deader than Kim Jong-Il, we barely get any content patches or bug fixes while constantly flooded with out-of-theme hats and cosmetics. 0/10 wouldn't bang
-
Nov 1, 2013seriously a dead game, no diretide, no heroes being implemented. it's just icefraud with his sh1t balance left working on this dead game. LOL>dotoLOL>dotoLOL>dotoLOL>dotoLOL>dotoLOL>dotoLOL>dotoLOL>dotoLOL>dotoLOL>dotoLOL>dotoLOL>doto

Nov 1, 2013Thanks a lot for something that does not give any information about the event
Any other company would say yes, the event will be, or no, not event
But no, you decided to pull all the nerves

Nov 1, 2013Worse game I've played, installed it because my brother said there would be a cool Halloween event and thought it would be the perfect moment to give it a try, there was none, but still decided to play some games after semi completing the boring tutorial, people were raging at me for not playing my hero correctly and buying the good items.
Horrible game, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone -

Nov 1, 2013A very true reproduction of the original. However, the horrendous matchmaking system combined with any kind of a player rating system have made it an unbelievably painful gaming experience.
-
Nov 1, 2013This game has turned into hats sale. No new heroes, no bug fixes, no communication.

Nov 1, 2013I hoped this game would get me really hooked up for a long long time but for my surprise when I was going to play my first match I discovered that the community is really unsupportive not beginner-friendly I just need 3 words to describe this game WORST COMUNNITY EVER
-
Nov 1, 2013Great game, hate the community. Just read these "reviews" for why the community sucks. Yes, Valves lack of communication is an issue, but spamming metacritic is not the right way to go about telling them that. It damages the game in the long term, and will accomplish nothing. Honestly, with this behavior WE don't deserve Diretide.
-
Nov 1, 2013Garbage matchmaking
Garbage report system
Garbage game engine results in 9 games without someone being able to load and you reenter the queue
0 communication and 0 visibility no visible MMR no ladders)
No region locks.
You take a perfect game and turn it into worst game ever created.

Nov 1, 2013Lack of updates. 110 days since
Abbadon. No halloween event this year. The game need attention it has not been getting and it shows, badly. would gladly rate higher if match making, heros, and updates were fixed. -
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 -

Nov 1, 2013community does not care about his players and dont respect them.Players from around the world were waiting for event Halloween, but they did not do the event and did not tell them about cancelling event contrast did not even written on the website, twitter, blog

Nov 1, 2013Probably 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. -
Nov 1, 2013Thx for new tickets on Halloween Valve. We rly need this tickets.
Event? No thx. Only hats and tickets.
Zero information, zero news.
Happy Halloween!!!. -
Nov 1, 2013Burn in hell Gabe, burn in hell! 3 days and 3 nights i'm waiting for the event and you don't give it to me EAT CAL STUPID FAT UGLY PIECE OF SHIP DIE DIE DIE

Nov 1, 2013Great game, I don't feel Valve is ignoring their community. It feels more like brats who have been given everything but still rage because now they want a pony too.

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'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, 2013Thanks for shattering my dreams valve. Always thought you listened to your so 'dear' community. But in the end you left us in the void while too busy making new hats. Happy Halloween.

Nov 1, 2013game developers are very disrespectful to the players, do everything in the game just for the money and nothing more nothing new and interesting for a variety of boring game did! do not play this game ever!

Nov 1, 2013Im disappointed, Valve has failed us. Give Diretide or something better tenfold later. And im one of the people who has supported the game for years and put in plenty of my money in it, and i also own other Valve games.
-
Nov 1, 2013Just trying to help and counter this "GIVE DIRETIDE" cancer. The game is great. Yes, the community is angry about the "no halloween" update, however, it's still one of the greatest F2P game over the decade.
-
Nov 1, 2013No Diretide. No communication with the community from Valve. No new hero in more than 3 months only hats and more hats to make more money. Disband Volvo please.

This is the worst game in the history of mankind! Never again will not play it! Valve just inhumane what Halloween is everywhere, and in Dota 2 no! -

Nov 1, 2013Very good game. The only F2P game worth spending money on. One of the best out there. Only problem is some poor matchmaking, and Valve's inability to tell us 'No Diretide' (Yes, this has nothing to do with the game it self, however still represents DotA as a whole).
-
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 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, 2013I reallly enjoyed this game But after the game was officially release. Valve has shown they made enough money off people like me buying keys in the beta. Now they have completely forsaken us F*CK YOU VALVE F%CK YOU DOTA DEVS.
YOU CAN'T JUST IGNORE THE PEOPLE WHO GIVE YOU MONEY! -
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, 2013Awfull report system, matchmaking is really bad no competitive data is saved like kdr, average gpm etc. Also only cosmetic updates every week no events or new heros
-
Nov 1, 2013Ok it's a free game, and it's probably the best MOBA out there. But as much as valve have given us this amazing game, the lack of interest in updating the game is disgusting. Valve just ignores the fans and do what they want, more hats in the game that we don't need.

-
Nov 1, 2013Terrible developers which make no communications with its playerbase at all. Atleast tell them what is going on when they ask, you just piss everyone off and they will hate you for it.
-
Nov 1, 2013Ti3 Tickets snafu and now this. No community communication has created a extremely poor experience. The community contributed massive amounts of money to TI3, yet you treat us like trash.

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.
