    This game is my life. It is developed by my dream employer and they do a fantastic job. They made one mistake in not communicating effectively but they have fixed that now. GOT DIRETIDE!

    DotA is the best MOBA games out those days. The thing I really like is the balance of the heroes, they are not balanced around a role: icefrog try to make every hero have is specific flavour there are some sick ultimate and abilities that most game of the genre wouldn't even consider put in the game and the game is pretty damn balanced all thing considered.

    That said, Dota 2 is the best competitive game I've played in my entire life. I played it for 1000 of hours, and watched it for more than that probably. It's a incredibly deep game. Competitors such as league of legends are easier to get into, but in fact, once you start playing more dota, lol becomes a really really boring unoriginal game. The biggest drawback of dota is probably the steep learning curve, but don't let that scare you away, start playing it, you won't regret it. It's literally the best time I've had with online gaming in my entire life, and I met some great people along the way. (and I learned some Russian)    … Expand

    This game is just awesome. I feel sorry for valve for having to put up with this community. Ok they didn't say anything about diretide so what? Spamming obama's facebook and getting metacritic score this low just because of that is just plain retarded.
    Anyone that actually wants a decent review don't take this user score serious.

    DotA 2 is an incredibly challenging and rewarding game. Never mind if you have never played a game like this, in my opinion the best way to learn is to dive right in. you will never reach pro status in a game this developed and complex via any tutorial, the way the game plays and interacts is far too numerous and the only way to learn is via experience. your losses will be staggering and infuriating, but at the same time motivating you to win. Victory is so satisfying especially if it came at your hand.

    The current overall negative user review of Dota 2 is a result of entitled children downvoting the game over the omission of an "annual" free game mode. None of this petty behavior detracts from the gem that is Dota 2. Read the critics reviews and go try it for yourself.

    this game is great. screw the naysayers. Really? you need 150 characters to review the game? That's annoying. The dota 2 community is a bit crazy, but I think that's bound to happen to any popular f2p game.

    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.
