    Valve has proved once again that they are the makers of the finest games out there. Every character is unlocked from the beginning, with cosmetics (a la Team Fortress 2) to customize the way you want your character look. Also, Diretide is here!

    Dota 2 is an amazing game. I cant believe people gave it a low score because Diretide got implemented late. I hope this helps raise the score back to what the game truly deserves. A 11/10. 865 hours and counting.

    This game is amazing. I'm sitting here typing this after just surpassing the 2000 hour mark of playing DotA. Highly recommend playing this game. Seems I need to type more for this review to go through :P.

    I hate the Internet.; Valve are awesome; this game is seriously the best game available right now. The game itself is incredibly deep and diverse but what Valve has done around the game is a spectacle.

    It's harder than most but very rewarding. I've put thousands of hours into it, made me waste my school and life, but i still can't hate it. I hope it gets bigger so that more people would know how awesome this game is. It's not MOBA or Arts or any other. It's DotA, always was, always will be.

    I have played well over 600 hours and am likely to play at least that much again. The best at the moment. Unlikely to be defeated even by Blizzard's new offering.

    I have sank over 500 hours into this game and I don't regret it even a little bit. Please ignore people downvoting on purpose.

    The game is well supported and Valve are dedicated developers, despite many people saying otherwise.

    Dota has become the game to play for me with an always updating competitive scene and action that never wears out. If you are interested in a tactics based 5v5 game this is the one for you.

    Valve did a great job by hiring Icefrog, you can't find such a balanced game without Icefrog and you can't find such a great detailed game without Valve

    Balanced Game Competitive game Greatly detailed GOTY 2013 :D

    This game is extremely complicated, but once you understand the mechanics and have it down, it's super fun and gripping. This is one of the only games that I haven't gotten bored with after a month or two. I have over a thousand hours, and that's saying something.

    Hands down the best game I have ever played. I began playing DotA nearly ten years ago when it was a custom map in WC3. Over the years, through the work of many people and a vibrant (and growing!) community, it has changed and balanced and changed and balanced. The game is a work of art that's been created with the help of millions of people.

    Deep strategy and tactics game with many different outcomes. Updated regularly with new content and balance patches. Overall a great improvement from wc3 DotA, and the best MOBA out there (by far).

    Diretide was given, 10/10 Alive game volvo reband ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

    A very fun and addicting game. Sure, pubs can be aggravating, but they are hilarious. If you want good matches, get a team, join a league, and quit on reddit about it. Much better balance than any other MOBA (though Icefraud should take another look at Krobelus right about now) and the competitive scene is incredible.

    Best game there ever is. Doesn't deserve none of this crap of negative ratings because of the Diretide thing. 1000 hours on it and counting. There's no oher multiplayer game such addictive and entertaining as this one. I love 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.
