    Best game I've ever played in my life. And this is coming from someone who requires a lot of their gaming experience. The details, the balance, the depth, the wide array of item builds, hero choices are all amazing. But I also love teaming up with 4 strangers, especially with the mic, to coordinate beautiful displays of 5v5 battles.

Well done Valve for reproducing a game that I thought would be history.… Expand

    Diretide was given, game is alive. Just giving Dota the score it deserves. Hopefully we'll be back up to a score of 8.x like we were before this debacle.

    Amazing game, A lot of noobs here obviously can't handle a real competitive game (understandable when they come from a game like league of legends made for children) I've played over 800 games and i'll definitely play over 800 more.

    Thanks for continuing to be awesome Valve. It takes a lot to admit when mistakes are made, and it was dealt with in a professional and cordial manner. I continue to have a great deal of respect for this company. Keep up the awesome work guys.

    Amazing game that will suck the life out of you. Time and patience will be needed but well rewarded. A lot of time will be needed to be semi proficient at this game but once you understand the basics you will find yourself playing game after game

    DotA 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.

    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.

    A great game, don't listen to the negative reviews as they were a result of no Diretide. As long as you pass the steep learning curve you're set to have an incredible amount of fun.

    This game is really good and has a solid developer making it. they may be quiet but they always have a reason and will man up to it if they make a mistake. Do not listen to these negative reviews because a few people were upset over a lack of a halloween event.

    This Game is the most amazing game there is! Have spent more than 1000 hours on it in less than a year (like 11 months) and no showing of my passion fading. DIRETIDE IS HERE!

    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.

    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    This game is simply amazing.

    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.    … 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.
