    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

    the servers are down or not available in parts of steam/dota almost every 2-3 days for 1-2 days in duration. its a total pain in the ass. it's horrible if normality is people talking reacting to lag issues like "ah steam again. how long will it be this time?".
    - no diretide even though it was announced as an annual event
    - commending and report reasons are too few. for example why isnt

    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.

    One of the best Games ever created.
    But no ranking/ladder system
    And the skill pool, where equal player should play together, sucks!
    Hope they will change that

    Garbage game engine results in 9 games without someone being able to load and you reenter the queue

    Toxic community ("never In my entire life have I witnessed a worse community revolving around a video-game than the one that is to be found in Dota 2" fits perfectly) Horrible matchmaking. Horrible dev communication. Not easy entry. Clunky mechanics.

    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.

    Valve actually destroyed the soul of DotA 1. I believe that they did it just because of money. Game has been changed literally over night with this new patch, so they can sell new sets for heroes and earn more money. BRING BACK OLD DOTA GAMEPLAY!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is just perfect, mostly for me: a guy who played dota for a long time, this game can be played by anyone, thing is, DotA 2 is not an intuitive game, you have various tutorials however. I know people can be a bit hostile, I am too, that is because in this game, if someone mess it up real hard, then you most likely lose the game. People have to know which role they are playing and Expand

    Valve do not care for its customers by arranging a Halloween even in CS: Go and forget about DotA. It's not very nice of them, that does not paint them.

    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.

    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.
