    I don't see why people are giving this game a low rating just for the community. Yes they are really aggressive and that is something that should not dictate a games rating but I think this game is great and its free so why complain if you don't like it no problem its free.

    Just saying what you all probably know, there is too weak punishment for players that intentionally ruin games, thus we have many game ruiners, many smurfs and awful gaming experience, 3 games in a row I had total beginners in team vs smurfs, before that I had one guy mid intentionally going 0-10, before that I had afk etc... I wasted my time too much there, no more...

    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!

    I do not advise to play it because you will get used to it and you can not leave yourself because almost every other game nowadays sucks like this one. You will end to play dota rest of your life. If you want to enjoy gaming go play solo games.

    Dota 2 this game probably needs no introduction, as it will be hard to find a person who has not heard of it. Dota is a legendary game, the brightness of which blurs the terrible community. Today we played a game with blue, he's a f*****g m*****r. And the game is s***t by the way. It drains money from poor impoverished children in Af*ica kills their nerve cells and unfortunately mothers too.

    I was first introduced to this game by a group of close friends back in grade 10. It is a highly competitive and strategic game to play, it takes a while to master but eventually with the help of my friends I had a good grip on this game faster than I expected. I’m not addicted to gaming nor it plays a huge role in my life, but it is a small getaway for me after my stressful studies andI was first introduced to this game by a group of close friends back in grade 10.

I’m not addicted to gaming nor it plays a huge role in my life, but it is a small getaway for me after my stressful studies and also a great way to spend quality time with my friends.

    My first step in Dota isnt easy because it has a complicated game system and many heroes to choose from as in which all those heroes function and operate differently. But after practicing with my friends for a while, I learned how to play at a decent level and understand how each hero performs inside the game.

    This game is truly a masterpiece, their game graphic is smooth and realistic making my gaming experience so remarkable, their sound has beat and rhythm which I really enjoy when playing. Additionally, they have a wide variety of customs and allow us to change the appearance of our favorite heroes, this just makes us feel that we played a role in creating this game

    If you’re looking for a multiplayer and challenging game to play with friends, I would say Dota is the perfect choice for you, you doesn't have to be old enough or young enough to play but just enjoy the game and have fun.

    Disaster game with just the network effect able to run the game. No surprise is being taken over by other games from smaller developer companies. Game should be dead within a year or two.

    One of the most horrible yet addictive games of them all. But don't be delusional, it's for kids with scripts, bug and glitch users. Terrible community, p2w mechanics in half of custom maps, ppl smurfing to have fun while you can't raise your rating. Basically, its the same as LoL nowadays, just with more toxic mechanics and slower gameplay. Both games have shifted to burst meta, likeOne of the most horrible yet addictive games of them all.

    I recommend avoid this game. Awful ranked system. No motivation. No rewards. Terrible game for new players. Worst Community ever. Smurf accounts. Boosters every f* game. Hope this game will have died soon...

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!

    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.
