    Perfect 10 for me. This spoiled brats don't deserve GTFO and play another game. You are the community disgrace. I'm actually glad this kids are whining. No Diretide was the best decision ever.

    I cannot believe the small faction of the community that is behaving in such a poor manner, all in reaction to a lack of a special holiday event which was not promised or otherwise indicated that it would occur. Valve resurrected DotA in a much needed way and is doing an amazing job with it.

    It's first year after beta test for this game, but valve beginning to ignore community such early, this fault with diretide just shown total atmosphere. Mostly updates only fm workshop, just for getting cash. It's no good way, especially at beginnings.

    deep and addictive game. been hooked since dota 1 came out on wc3. 3000 hours on dota 2 and i'm still learning stuff. community is great after you get out of low mmr. also diretide is a crappy game mode.

    No new characters, no variety, it can not be fun for the players for a long time, the only thing is the new things that are worth more than their price, they are only cosmetic in nature (not always attractive), this is good, but the price for it's overpriced.
    and the last, I was very disappointed by the attitude valve to the players DotA 2. all hoping for diretide, but is not got no

    his game improved so much since it was released on the beta. There are over 90 heroes to choose from currently and the gamplay is as intence and as rewarding as DOTA 1. 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 bot

    A really good action RTS, definitely the best on the market. Has some community issues though, but every game does really. Ignore the bleating sheep and have fun, god knows they'll forget about whatever they're whining about when the next hero patch drops.

    It's like they forgot how boring Diretide was last year. They couldn't stop complaining half a day after it was released.

    An addictive game that will provide countless hours of entertainment. Lots to learn, best ARTS game there is. Unfortunately the community is childish and entitled.

    Extremely Competitive, great game imo, started few months back already clocked 1500+hours. No hero feels imba, although updates in hero and map wise has been slow
    all in all 10/10 for me

    Worst attitude to community like a low tier game. No decent patches for 3 months and finally no event and even announce about it. Last news posted on Dota2 blog, 19 September. Just awful communication.

    It is an excellent remake of the original mod D.O.T.A. or Defense of the Ancients, it adds a lot of the old aspects with new ones to make the game play more fair and easier to play for some.

    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]
