Nov 2, 2013It's perfectly fine that there is no diretide in this game. Valve does lack communication, but overall they are doing a good job. Play this game, you wont be dissapointed.

Nov 2, 2013No communication between developer and the community.Valve abandoned the game and don't release updates, it's been 4 months since the latest release of a new hero.

Nov 2, 2013Everyone is giving this game a bad score, but they'll keep on playing it.
Dota 2 is fun, addicting and very challenging and an amazing game altogether.
You can spend hours endlessly playing and there's so much to learn from the pro scene.
I love watching Dota 2 matches almost as much as I do playing them!
This game is amazing and deserves being recognised as such. -

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 2, 2013Don't believe critic's lies. This game is and and it is going ****tier. The game was better while it was in the Beta, now they don't listen or respond to community. Really, go back to Dota 1.

Nov 9, 2013Dota 2 is an amazing game, made by an absolutely terrible team. Hasn't been updated in almost a half a year, no community interaction on what's going on, while the only thing that gets added is cash shop items.
-
Nov 8, 2013One of the best, most difficult and truly competitive games I've ever played. It is free and doesn't have any pay-to-win, all heroes are free, the only paid content are cosmetical items that DO NOT change gameplay
-
Nov 2, 2013What a bad game, Valve didn't give us Diretide and worst of all they didn't communicate to the community or announce anything. Seriously, where the communication? You came to the wrong dongerhood, Valve.
-
Nov 2, 2013Valve stopped make good updates since August 2013, and there are break Matchmaking completely.
90-80% of dota community is much aggressive.
But i hope, Valve take a break and there 'll make good updates later... -

Nov 2, 2013Probably the best game in MOBA genre, though skill curve needed to play is a bit steep (but you can play against bots to learn the game) and community sometimes can be very toxic, so beware.

Nov 2, 2013I'm from Ukraine, 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 2, 2013Hello, valve.
i want to say you, what i like dota 2 and cs 1.6 they are my favorite games, bot i wanted the diretide or some news about any events from games.
i'm sorry for russian community, and some mistakes -
Nov 2, 2013If Valve wants to be a serious rival with Dota 2 against Riot´s League of Legends, must listen their comunity.
No new hero for 3 months, no Halloween event 2013 (Diretide), horrible matchmaking.... Volvo, think about this and do it better. -

Nov 2, 2013It's great game, I can say it's best, but community very bad. Just 2k bad score couse volvo don't make diretide. They say why, but this stupid don't give up. Stupid children don't give up.
-
Nov 2, 2013Despite all the anger from the 12 year olds mad about not getting a halloween event, DOTA 2 is a well programmed game with very good mechanics. While it is true valve does not communicate with us they still give some nice patches. The community isn't as bad as it seems. People say please and thank you at least unlike in LoL.

Nov 8, 2013There'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.
-
Nov 2, 2013Valve spoiled Halloween, I was really waiting for Diretide, but there was no feedback from valve. They hurt my feelings because even without adding the event they must have communicated with us.

Nov 2, 2013This game is amazing! I hate the fact that there are huge changes that happen for no apparent reason... But the game itself and the mechanics behind it are amazing! The most-balanced and fair MOBA. There's going to be some haters, but oh wells... LOL!
-
Nov 2, 2013i dont why people area hating this because valve didn't give us diretide this year, i still love this game, it provides us with a decent matchmaking, love the heroes, the only thing i hate is the community itself. In all the game is amazing
-
Nov 9, 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. ggwp

Nov 2, 2013Even the car company Volvo communicates better than Valve. I miss the WC3 DotA times. No diretide, no announcement, zero f's given by Valve. I don't want hats, i want all of the heroes from DotA.
-
Nov 2, 201310/10 Russians will cry about Diretide, about not getting free courier and some other BUT cries about update adding new sets, if you wanna play Diretide, go to d2ware.net.
-
Nov 14, 2013Pros:
- seemingly infinite strategical aspects (!)
- complex gameplay and mechanics
- a thriving, international competitive scene
- free to play
- never gets boring (Really. I've been playing Dota 2 and it's precursor for 5-6 years now.)
Cons:
- steep learning curve
- as in every multiplayer game, some people you encounter can be rude -

Nov 9, 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 8, 2013So good game, valve is the best, diretide will come out, and it will be great for us. I think, valve heared community voice and will fix it as soon as can.
-
Nov 2, 2013Awesome game, but as you can see it has the most terrible, pathetic, childish, immature entitled whiny idiots of any gaming community. But during game, this can be solved with a press of a button to mute them. Or team up with friends.

Jan 30, 2020good game but as all games with team needs player balance and hero balance.
-
Nov 2, 2013This is just getting stupid. DotA 2 is an awesome game and the fact that we didn't get a halloween special this year changes nothing. Of course it would have been nice but it just doesn't matter. Valve is, in my opinion, the best gaming company we have at the time. Just look at the serious reviews by Games Master UK, USgamer, PC PowePlay,... They all give 100 or 90.

Nov 2, 2013Quite certainly the best ARTS of all time, nothing else comes even remotely close. Also a stable playerbase peaking at 550k-600k users per day. All the whiny kids get a great free game, but that doesn't keep them from whining of course. a problem with every big game community.

Nov 2, 2013(Valve 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. )
i agree -
Nov 8, 2013A good, high-quality MOBA with varied but mostly balanced characters, built in spectating, item drops, and events. Although Valve doesn't always communicate the best, they care about the community still. GAVE DIRETIDE

Nov 8, 2013gg, volvo, at least they gave us some free hats Kappa maybe if people will wine hard enough they will give us a normal, not retarded and dead MM system Kappa

+1 "do not forget about the players"

Nov 2, 2013Great game all the 0 scores is just from people who didnt get there halloween event and i understand them but this is a childish way to prove the point
-
Nov 2, 2013Thank you, Valve, that I can see so much butthurts. That looks funny. :)
People play only Dota2 in Steam and now they put 0, but still playing it.
People, stop playing, if you want to put 0. -
Nov 2, 2013this is the best game ive played so far and i played a lot. valve made a mistake by not giving a haloween event the community of the game sucks, but is a really good game
-
Nov 2, 2013Dota 2 is a good game, people are just trolling about the bad reviews because of no tiretide and the delay on the new heroes =
Give Valve time, it will come.

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.
