    super good game, fast paced, high skill cap, graphics are good, animations are good, so many hero to choose from (102 and more to be port from DotA), some of the heroes are funny with good voice acting and funny lines and have unique and interesting character, all heroes are free, with accessories drops every game end, etc...

    A great game with much strategy and complicated but awesome gameplay with a wide pvp experience that no other game has had before. The big tournaments clearly show how complex and skilled it is.

    I refuse to believe valve is a bad company because some immature people want to spam websites and other peoples property because they don't get what they want. Please be a little more reasonable who cares about Halloween. Everyone complained about it last year so get over it. This is one of the best games out right now and people are being childish.

    Great game with a high skillcap. Not easily accessible without spending some time understanding the basics, however the ingame tutorial is reasonably helpful for the fundamentals. Other than that, bot practice games are expected. However, people who have watched competitive DOTA before will feel right at home.

    Although a game that takes a while to understand the mechanics, the way how things are done, and your objective, once you know how to do it, it is probably the most fun game that you will ever play.
    Though if you don't have a tough skin to not receive flame, it will probably not be the game for you.

    DOTA 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, DOTA 2 immediately gives you access to its entire library of heroes, for free. In LoL as of the date of this post, it would cost $588 to unlock all heroes with real money. (15000RP/$100, total cost heroes 88185 RP. This calculation excludes bundles)

    Each character has a unique playstyle and skillset, and doesn't feel like a clone of another character or a cheap rip off. Every character plays a certain role well, and plays it uniquely. Playing well leads to great rewards, and playing poorly has severe consequences.

    There are issues with DOTA 2, the biggest being there is a huge learning curve and you are going to start out being bad if you don't have previous DOTA experience. Learning characters skills, what items do, and what you should be doing early mid and late game initially may be overwhelming. However, doing research and practicing eventually pay off as DOTA 2 is truly one of the most challenging and highest skill cap games available. Valve is also implementing (or has implemented) a tutorial, but there is no way the sheer amount of information needed is contained within it. But I'm sure its a great place to start.    … Expand

    I've played LOL, HON, DotA, and DOTA 2. By far DOTA 2 is the best of the 4. Has the best community and most dynamic game play. Unlike most of the other clones, I love how comebacks are possible if the team pulls together in the end.

    The ultimate form of PvP. It will test your wits and reflexes. This game requires teamwork, concentration and communication. It is challenging, integrative and rewarding.

    It's a brilliant game only reason the metacritic is so low is because people hyped themselves up about a patch that wasnt even promised then got angry when it didnt happen.

    Compared to League of Legends and Heroes of Newerth, Dota 2 has more unique heroes and items. It is more advanced and rewarding than LoL. It is slower than HoN, which is important in team fights. The best popular MOBA out there.

    Probably 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.

    Well, I love Dota 2, But a lot of idiots have started to rate this with 0 an 1 just because they were not given an event. I think that's not fair for an incredible game they were loving 2 moths ago. Play this game, don't fear the community I think it's the best ;MOBa nowadays

A lot of people have dropped the user review score, because they are petulant children who did not get the temporary Halloween event they expected, so that would be my only complaint the user community can be immature.

    You can denie and loose gold. this by itself will make the game very interesting.
    You only have 2 wards each 6 minutes, that will have you thinking a lot wat to do with the wards.
    The team fights happen not only on your screen. what i mean is, a entire team fight does not fit in your screen alone. You have to be aware of your surrondings. The towers can defend them selfs in early game.    You can denie and loose gold. this by itself will make the game very interesting.

    The towers can defend them selfs in early game. they attack you if u attack them by your self, even if you have allied creeps near it.
    There are a lot of habilities super over powered, that can ruin the game. But there is always a counter for those habilities, people just need to learn the game. this makes the game perfectly balanced.
    With dotabuff, you can know in witch rating you are on.

    A great game, I have been playing for 7 months now and I'm still not bored of it, A little disappointed that there was no seasonal event this year but that can be excused, I will continue to play this game and I don't think it will get boring any time soon. Thank You Valve for such a great game.

    This is one of the best games i played, its balanced, fun to play and completly free to play. All heroes are free so everyone has a fair start. It's more challenging than most Moba's, more dynamic and with awesome playerbase.
    Ps.
    If you rate this game 0 becouse there was no Diretide this year you just forgot what Moba is about.
    Have fun

    This game is actualy the best MOBA Game owned by one of the biggest corporations. This game was very good until immature kids (rated 14 year olds) ruined it. People keep complaining about diretide, they cant make everything. So this game could be good but if people cry and insult it this is nothing. This game is 10/10 and will be good still.

    Dota 2 is a fantastic MOBA that is based off of the original Dota 1 from the WC3 era. The game is immensely complex in all of its mechanics but very simple to understand. As you can guess this results in a massive learning curve and adheres to "easy to understand, difficult to master". If you have a few friends looking for a team game to play this is a great one without a doubt. Be warnedDota 2 is a fantastic MOBA that is based off of the original Dota 1 from the WC3 era.

If you have a few friends looking for a team game to play this is a great one without a doubt. Be warned that you will get frustrated at times with your team mates, and if you solo que you risk being put on teams with those who may not speak the same language. Queing on US East servers does NOT guarantee and english speaking team, but honestly, that is the biggest issue. Otherwise, the game is flawless in execution. All heroes are immediately available, there is a tutorial mode for new players, and the ability to create your own private matches if you have a large group of friends to play your own games. These matches can also be changed to include 'cheats' and have zero cool down on abilities which makes for some hilarious games with your friends.

    Generally, Dota 2 is hugely addictive, and is a ton of fun! Particularly when you get into the high skill heroes and when you learn the 'juke spots'. There is a ton of material on youtube to help you learn and to up your game. I personally have logged well over a 1000 hours as have many of my friends. Don't be fooled though, this may share similarities to HoN or LoL but it is NOT the same.    … Expand

    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.
