    Fantastic Game 10/10. Great times shared with players and friends where every game is different-better or for worst yet still leaves a great memory. Cannot say how much I enjoy this game!

    Well, I must be honest. I think it's very childish to abuse metacritic just because you guys are angry for the event. But, I admit that this is a community reaction and the community had a big part to make DOTA2 such an awesome game.
    I believe that VALVE should handle this more carefully. You just can't ignore the community asking millions of questions about Diretide. If VALVE could

    I believe that VALVE should handle this more carefully. You just can't ignore the community asking millions of questions about Diretide. If VALVE could explain what their plan about Diretide2013 is, the reaction wouldn't be that harsh. So I hope VALVE learns from this, and pays more attention (even to the childish part of it, yeah) to the community.

    pay2win moba is dead. Disgusting, just look what you became Gabe and IceFrog. You started good, but then fell into your own greed. Dota players cannot sponsor the whole Valve corporation developments by buying hats.

    Best MOBA is DoTA MOBA. The biggest problem with Dota 2 is the not showing of skill progress. I have no idea where I rank and if I am getting better or worse.

    This is literally the worst game I have ever played in my entire life, The developers are lazy and don't care about the people who play this game at all but would rather make millions off of cosmetics and hats instead.

    Is a good game on every level BUT is stupidly build around and infinite number of entry barriers for new players. Learn to play is sickening but if you do you will enjoy for sure. Also, there's that, you don't enjoy Dota 2 until you really mastered it wich is a bad thing, Imo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. emparejamiento del juego es mediocre. Te juntan con gente de diferentes idoma. Cero comunicación. Valve, el desarrollador ahora de dota 2 no presta atención al juego. Más solo para lucrar. Un juego que ya estaba hecho, ellos no hicieron absolutamente nada para incrementar la diversidad de este juego. Ni siquiera logran estar a la par del dota 1 luego de 3 años de su beta. Es el colmo con este juego. Si algo es mediocre. Es este juego sin atención de sus desarrolladores actuales. Lástima por el nombre "Dota" es un buen juego. pero esto ya es el colmo. Cero puntos para este juego. Expand

    Valve decided to f@k over the entire community again and again. They don't deserve anything anymore. Only useless hat patches no game development anymore. They took all the from the compendiums and gave nothing back.

    No transparency in matchmaking, in developer communication; topped off with a toxic community where many are immature and only know how to flame and an insufficient reporting system to weed out such members...

    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.

    Unforgiving from the get-go, but a landmark in competitive multiplayer design. [Oct 2013, p.68]
