Nov 1, 2013Perfect 10 for me. This spoiled brats don't deserve GTFO and play another game. You are the community disgrace. I'm actually glad this kids are whining. No Diretide was the best decision ever.
-
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 2, 2013It's first year after beta test for this game, but valve beginning to ignore community such early, this fault with diretide just shown total atmosphere. Mostly updates only fm workshop, just for getting cash. It's no good way, especially at beginnings.
-
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 8, 2013his 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 1, 2013Volvo has abandoned the game. All they care for is the hats now. No more heroes, no more events. JUST MONEY. VALVE DAMN IT. GIVE DIRETIDE! YOU DONT LISTEN TO YOUR COMMUNITY ANYMORE

Nov 8, 2013good game, even u sucked once, but what u have done rally save back your reputation.And i will give my complement to u. Move further and i believe u can

Nov 1, 2013A really good action RTS, definitely the best on the market. Has some community issues though, but every game does really. Ignore the bleating sheep and have fun, god knows they'll forget about whatever they're whining about when the next hero patch drops.
It's like they forgot how boring Diretide was last year. They couldn't stop complaining half a day after it was released. -
Nov 8, 2013Ololo diretide! Ololo diretide! Ololo diretide! Ololo diretide! Ololo diretide! Ololo diretide! Ololo diretide! Ololo diretide! Ololo diretide! Ololo diretide! Ololo diretide! Ololo diretide!
-
Nov 1, 2013An addictive game that will provide countless hours of entertainment. Lots to learn, best ARTS game there is. Unfortunately the community is childish and entitled.

Nov 1, 2013Me agrada el Dota 2 porque hace a diferencia de otros mobas este hace pensar ,y ademas por la dificultad y gran gamma de personajes que se pueden utilizar.

Nov 1, 2013Extremely Competitive, great game imo, started few months back already clocked 1500+hours. No hero feels imba, although updates in hero and map wise has been slow
all in all 10/10 for me -
Nov 1, 2013Worst attitude to community like a low tier game. No decent patches for 3 months and finally no event and even announce about it. Last news posted on Dota2 blog, 19 September. Just awful communication.
-
Nov 8, 2013Really fun and well made game, I cant stop playing it. I was surprised to see that i could play this game on max graphics and still have perfect frame rate, and i dont have such a powerful pc.

Nov 2, 2013NO Diretide
NO New Hero
NO Normal matchmaking system
New updates is new sets and tickets.
MORE TICKETS AND HATS
MORE! MORE TICKETS AND HATS! MORE!
MORE! -
Nov 1, 2013It is an excellent remake of the original mod D.O.T.A. or Defense of the Ancients, it adds a lot of the old aspects with new ones to make the game play more fair and easier to play for some.
-
Nov 2, 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.

Nov 1, 2013Valve screwed the community over again,4 months no hero,no Halloween event (even though other Valve games have it),just hats. The game is dead. That's it.
-
Nov 1, 2013well played VALVE all u have is hats and online sotre,no update and servers crash everyday!

Dec 2, 2013Its good. Its free. And I all hero characters are available to play whenever unlike its overly expensive rival game League of Legends. Also volvo gave diretide so...

Nov 8, 2013Never been so addicted to a game before! Weekly updates, balanced, and a economy if you like to trade. Basically this game has everything you can ask for in a Moba.
-
Nov 8, 2013the pace of this game feels so slow after playing years of lol. champ balance are bad. also, i dont like the idea of secret shop. i have play about 20 games not even one good game since what i see are people on the losing side always flaming each other, end up stood there typing, its like i can have more fun playing with bots. when i am on the losing side.omg pe

Nov 8, 2013DOTA 2 is the best in the MOBA class. I have played LoL, DOTA, DOTA 2 and some lesser known MOBAs and DOTA 2 is by far the best. In addition, it is F2P which is amazing. And unlike, LoL or HoN which require you to use a rotating hero list until you buy your own with real money or accumulate enough in-game currency to purchase a single hero
-
Nov 8, 2013Valve responded and explained their Diretide mistake, fixing my score up to 10/10. They even said a huge update is on the way! I have to say I'm very happy about it and i'm sure other DotA 2 players are too. As someone who switched to Dota 2 from league of legends, I must say this game is just so much better and I love it. I'm hoping for some new heores such as Terrorblade to be released.

Nov 8, 2013Such a great and wonderfull game. ^^ played it since october 2012. Now i have something about 2000 hours in this game, and i want more and more every day. THANK YOU, DEAR VALVE.
-
Nov 2, 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. Dota 2 no bag fix. No region locks.

Nov 2, 2013People are super hating about no diretide this year. I am now voting because they're idiots just trying to lower this metacritic rating. I hope valve doesn't get too sads.
TL;DR. morons who vote 0 on a game because they do not get an update for Halloween, stop acting like entitled children ffs. -
Nov 2, 2013Great game, thousands of hours in and still everyday it feels like a new game. Always something to learn, always something to perfect. Valve's themselves is also great and invests a lot into the game, probably one of the more realistic developers that delivers what customer needs and wants, while does not cross the line of abusing it's clients

Nov 2, 2013I put 10 because I believe that the tap will make the event soon!

Nov 10, 2013Excellent game, with much more sophisticated mechanics than LoL.There's 2 things about Dota 2 it's completely free and it's developed by VALVe. If that's not enough for you to try this game I don't know what is. The only thing that you have to spend in order to play this game is time. That's right, Dota 2 is not like most other games and that's because it's very complex, so be patient
-
Nov 9, 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). Dota 2 is so good, that I will focus on negatives Unfortunately there are some and three of them I consider major issue. First match making I think it has improved, but it is…
-
Nov 14, 2013Best free to play game in a true sense. There's no need to buy new heroes, no Pay-to-win issue at all. The game is absolutely fantastic especially after Valve has been putting focus on server stability, balance and the most importantly, community. It's amazing how the game has been improved since its first Beta launch back in 2011. I've played Dota 1, LoL, HoN, and Smite
-
Nov 2, 2013Thank you for your time in anticipation of the next event, there was no indication he will or not, many forums have been filled with hope, and you have them, and so did not justify adding sets and tickets, the most intesnoe update was all normal games but not here

Nov 2, 201310/10 would feed again. This game is excellent, but my review has to be 150 letters long, so the more and more i write the more and more I wonder why VOLVO WHY YOU NO GIVE DIRETIDE

Nov 9, 2013Dota is a great, strategically diverse game with a big reliance on teamwork. It contains original, diverse heroes with many different play styles. Different game modes (from the competitive captains mode and Team Matchmaking to all-out fun like all random or mid only) promote you to try different things and have fun.
The game is only maximum fun when you play with people you know, so brin -

Nov 8, 2013I withdraw what I said before. Valve has some communication issues with Dota community, but it seems that times are changing and we'll see some different actions regarding Valve. Game is great; Bugs are present in every single game ever so it's not a big deal. The problem is the community.

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.
