    super good game, fast paced, high skill cap, graphics are good, animations are good, so many hero to choose from (102 and more to be port from DotA), some of the heroes are funny with good voice acting and funny lines and have unique and interesting character, all heroes are free, with accessories drops every game end, etc...

    A great game with much strategy and complicated but awesome gameplay with a wide pvp experience that no other game has had before. The big tournaments clearly show how complex and skilled it is.

    Just hats, hats, hats everywhere. No new heroes, no bug fixes, no communication. How Valve can reject so big community? GG, Valve.
    REST IN PEACE DIRETIDE

    Valve and Icefrog made a good game.They did a great job bringing the game to the ideal. Community you are unhappy with one of the opening event go play in other games.
    Thx Valve

    Best game ever. Literally. 6 years and i still play everyday. Every single time I play, every game is different. No 2 games are ever the same. Can't praise it enough

    I refuse to believe valve is a bad company because some immature people want to spam websites and other peoples property because they don't get what they want. Please be a little more reasonable who cares about Halloween. Everyone complained about it last year so get over it. This is one of the best games out right now and people are being childish.

    Easily the best PvP game available. Tons of depth and replay value. I started playing MOBA's with League of Legends and once I got a Beta invite to DOTA2 I found it impossible to go back to league.

    Never been so addicted to a game before! Weekly updates, balanced, and a economy if you like to trade. Basically this game has everything you can ask for in a Moba.

    Great game with a high skillcap. Not easily accessible without spending some time understanding the basics, however the ingame tutorial is reasonably helpful for the fundamentals. Other than that, bot practice games are expected. However, people who have watched competitive DOTA before will feel right at home.

    Amazing game, other people are being immature.
    Amazing heroes, good items, nice team play, magic is awesome and anti-mage loves it even though he says he doesn't. Crazy good graphics, good game play. Love you Volvo. Valve need better communication though :P

    More than 3 thousand hours in, still not enough. Valve took old game that was deemed unworthy by Blizzard and made it better in every single aspect. If you haven't, play it!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Volvo ty.Its a very good game. I started playing since the beta about 1 and a half year ago. Its true that its hard to master the game but Its very interesting and fun to master each hero. As you get to learn that each character is situational and not the same. I have become addicted to it and i find it as my favorite Action RTS.… Expand

    Thanks for your hat, Volvo! Seriously though, Is money takes up your whole mind already or something? Why kept silence to your Dota 2 community? It's your game, Valve, not belong anybody else, and why you still doing this to your Dota 2 fan? Hats? more like a big you" 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.

    Nice game. THis is game is really awesome. In every aspect. So much better than lol, and hon. but Lol sucks more than hon. I don't even know how good that smite is, but I think it's better than lol. because Lol sucks ballz. and Dota 2 is bezt.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. the game is good, but it is being handled in a pathetic manner by Valve

    Garbage matchmaking
    Garbage communication from the developers
    Garbage game engine results in 9 games without someone being able to load and you reenter the queue
    0 communication and 0 visibility no visible MMR no ladders)
    No region locks.
    You take a perfect game and turn it into worst game ever created.

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.

    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.
