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 both games are compleatly different. Its like comparing COD and Battlefield, they are so different that connot be compared. (no preference on either game, I think bot of them are good) Give this game a try, the learning curve is very steep but it is rewarding when you learn. I think this is the best gave valve has ever developed and has been the most played game on steam ever since the second year of beta development. Try it out, its free and badass!

    best moba, and one of the best games ever made for player vs player combat... think arenas in WoW but not 45 minutes of healing and cc'ing this is massive action and if you slip up you die pretty fast

    Such a great F2P game. Extremely addicting.. All the heroes are free from the start but the game is hard for newbies because the high learning curve but don't worry, it will get better. Ohh and the e-sports side is amazing as well, you can see the pros play all the time and make some crazy plays.

I wouldn't recommend it if you're a casual gamer and can't be bothered to invest that time. If that's the case and you want to play a MOBA then that's where LoL comes in. If you already play LoL and want something more challenging and more rewarding then by all means try Dota 2. Plus it has way better graphics, great character customization and doesn't require any money to unlock heroes (which I find very frustrating in LoL). It is also more balanced imo. As for the community, well it's still a MOBA so don't expect too much, although it's not so bad Expand

    After trying different action-RTS games, I must say this is the best one yet. Very good graphics, animation and gameplay. I've played League of Legends but I get queued with childrens below 13 and also the champions are imbalanced in that game unlike in Dota 2 where it is all good and team play is needed.

    Amazing game, they finally listenend and gave Diretide to us! I've played 5 years (and am still playing) wc3 DotA, and I have played around 1500 LoL games. DotA and Dota 2 are, hands down, the best MOBA/ARTS games. The community is great and the game is very balanced and skill-based.

    There is learning curve, yes. But the experience thereafter is tremendously rewarding. I regularly play Dota 2 with friends, and it has become a part of our routine. The complexity, in my opinion, is a significant factor to Dota 2's replayability.

    Great game for all strategy fans, tons of choices in builds, tactics. Each game is different, you can't snowball like in other games in genre. To enjoy this game you need to spend some time but it will be rewarded for you later on.

    Valve honestly messed up big time by not talking to the community about DireTide, or anything at all really after TI 3, but they've done their part to repair the damage, so it's only fair the community does too.

    There are some problem with game. MM, bugs, not so many community attention and too many hats, but its not even matter because of the most great balance in all MOBA games. The work what did Valve in last 3 years is just incredible.

    Great game, playing Dota since it's early stages and watching it become what dota 2 has become is awesome. Probably the best moba you will find. Valve is really trying hard, making this game better every day

    Fantastic game. Seriously, completely ignore the user reviews for this game, read the critic reviews, or even the reviews from another site. Just ignore the bad user reviews, they are all a result of raging. The game itself is literally the best multiplayer PvP game to come out in the past decade.

    This game is simply amazing. I came from League of Legends to DotA because of a simple thing: freedom. In DotA, anything is possible. You can play any hero you want whenever you want. There is no cost for any hero. This entire game is available for free as soon as you download it.

    EVERY HERO IS AVAILABLE AT THE MOMENT OF DOWNLOAD. THERE IS NO IP, NO PURCHASING OF HEROES. The game

    The game balance is quite interesting. If you like a competitive scene, DotA has by far the most entertaining scene in gaming history. If you are hardcore there is plenty to see and enjoy. If you just like to see people win money there are casters that will make you piss your pants.

    In DotA you will encounter some flame yes, but there are moments in this game that bring such a smile to your face they will last a lifetime. If you don't play DotA you're cheating yourself out of an experience of a lifetime.

    Valve is awesome and so is Dota 2!

    The game is Free 2 Play! Fun to play, awesome to watch as a spectator! Highly competitive, balanced!

    Once you get into Dota you won't regret it!

    Dota2 is a very exciting, team based, rpg-like Game with the amazing attribute, that every match you play is different. The last user-submitted scores were pretty low due to missing updates from Valve, which they apologized for. Nevertheless is Dota2 really good and has a huge competitive scene.

    It may take a little getting used to after playing other similar games, but those who give this game a proper shot will find it to have depth and strategy beyond that of its kin. Truly addictive and a blast to play with friends, this game is one of the best I've ever played.

    Very fun game, and while the community can go on the fritz sometimes it is still very enjoyable to play. I recommend learning/playing this game with friends, it makes the entire experience more pleasant. While the knowledge to learn might be a bit daunting, once you get a grip on it you should find yourself playing more and more.

    One 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.

    DoA 2 is one of the deepest, most engaging experiences ever created. You can easily lose thousands of hours playing it. It is social, tactical, has an enormous skill ceiling, and has a great developer behind it continuing to shape and push the game into better and better places.

    Valve is a great company that cares about its customers, and I've spent more time playing Dota 2 than pretty much any other game ever, despite being late to the party. It's a great, addictive, life sucking game and it is run by a company that has no peers, and definitely does not deserve any of the vitriolic behavior some of the community has thrown at it.

    Incredible game with a lot of depth and complexity. It does have a huge learning curve and can be frustrating, but that's not a bad thing. There are a plethora of resources and communities that can aid you in learning. Learning how to deal with frustration and stress in the game allows you to apply it to your everyday life (if you still have one after getting addicted).

    One of the best games I have played. 1000's of play value and consistent support and update from Valve is unmatched in terms of a product ever. Plenty of spectator value as well, as it only gets better once you understand the game more. And also the ever increasing popularity of The International, this game is going to be one of the biggest e-sports and games in the near future.

    I have put more hours into this game than I have most other games with no plans on stopping. Even with the amount I have put in I still have much to learn about this game.

This is my first experience with MOBA/ARTS games and I could not be happier that Valve is developing it. This style of game requires a lot of developer/community involvement, and although Valve doesn't always talk to their fans, the deliver what the fans what and never abandon them. Even with its steep learning curve this game is tons of fun even at the start, you just can't take the game or a lot of its community seriously. Expand

    the score is so low because people spammed 0's after the diretide incident, and dota 2 doesn't deserve this at all. Honestly it's a great game, one (if not the) best MOBA/ARTS out there and you should give it a try. It's totally free in the end

    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.
