I know some people who play LOL might bash in this game, but both games are compleatly different. Its like comparing COD and Battlefield, they are so different that connot be compared. (no preference on either game, I think bot of them are good) Give this game a try, the learning curve is very steep but it is rewarding when you learn. I think this is the best gave valve has ever developed and has been the most played game on steam ever since the second year of beta development. Try it out, its free and badass!    … Expand

    best moba, and one of the best games ever made for player vs player combat... think arenas in WoW but not 45 minutes of healing and cc'ing this is massive action and if you slip up you die pretty fast

    Such a great F2P game. Extremely addicting.. All the heroes are free from the start but the game is hard for newbies because the high learning curve but don't worry, it will get better. Ohh and the e-sports side is amazing as well, you can see the pros play all the time and make some crazy plays.

    There's 2 things about Dota 2 it's completely free and it's developed by VALVe. If that's not enough for you to try this game I don't know what is.

I wouldn't recommend it if you're a casual gamer and can't be bothered to invest that time. If that's the case and you want to play a MOBA then that's where LoL comes in. If you already play LoL and want something more challenging and more rewarding then by all means try Dota 2. Plus it has way better graphics, great character customization and doesn't require any money to unlock heroes (which I find very frustrating in LoL). It is also more balanced imo. As for the community, well it's still a MOBA so don't expect too much, although it's not so bad… Expand

    While Valve has screwed up in communication for both Diretide and Ti3 Ticket sells the game is still good. They've admitted their mistakes regarding the lack of communication with diretide.

    After trying different action-RTS games, I must say this is the best one yet. Very good graphics, animation and gameplay. I've played League of Legends but I get queued with childrens below 13 and also the champions are imbalanced in that game unlike in Dota 2 where it is all good and team play is needed.

    This game is what I spend a good deal of my hours playing. Between the yearly International tournaments and the balance changes made by the famous Icefrog, this game is excellent.

    Compared to Dota 1, it feels alot better. Great graphics and production value. Easily beat down cartoon-like features of LoL, and poor graphics in Warcraft3. This game is the best!

    Amazing game, they finally listenend and gave Diretide to us! I've played 5 years (and am still playing) wc3 DotA, and I have played around 1500 LoL games. DotA and Dota 2 are, hands down, the best MOBA/ARTS games. The community is great and the game is very balanced and skill-based.

    One of the best, most difficult and truly competitive games I've ever played. It is free and doesn't have any pay-to-win, all heroes are free, the only paid content are cosmetical items that DO NOT change gameplay.

    Dota 2 is an utterly brilliant PvP game that is ultra-hard and requires friends for the best experience. There is a steep learning curve and a lot of characters to get used to but the game is really worth it.

    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.
