Nov 1, 2013Fantastic game which has managed to keep me enraptured for 300+ hours and with no sign of slowing. While updates aren't always lightning fast, they are worth the wait. Don't let some whining children poison your view of it.
-
Nov 1, 2013By far the classiest, most sophisticated and in-depth PvP game out there. The developers took a game that was already top notch and added features where it counted most.

Nov 1, 2013Professional game. Much better than any other competition of this game genre.
Valve knows how do develop a game properly. Props to them and the developer team. -

Nov 1, 2013The best e-sports game I've played since CS 1.5/1.6. With lots of different tactics and heroes to play, you can basically play the game in so many different ways that it never gets old. It still keeps the good old wc3 dota in mind (under icefrog) and is doing a great job at it! Would play the game any day (10/10).
-
Nov 3, 2013Matchmaking really doesn't work.. no events for the community.. 400 mb updates just for new cosmetics items..forced tutorial for new players.. unbalanced heroes.. community just hates everyone, there are no games without people hating each other.. just cool to play with friends..

Aug 5, 2013I love this game. This game shows how individual skills and of course a team cohesiveness. besides the hero has a renewable item that we will continue to seek to make the item. so everything is Dota.
-
Nov 1, 2013Excellent game, with much more sophisticated mechanics than LoL. It is very unforgiving and requires lots of effort to master it sufficiently enough to know what needs to be done (doing it is even harder). #nodiretide2013
and yeah juse=uebok -
Nov 1, 2013Awesome game, ignore the "no diretide hate-train"..
E-sport events every single day awesome
awesome community awesome
Awesome developers -awesome -
Nov 14, 2013Great games, i had played it since my highschool, its about 7 years already... and valve also make this game the best, they really concerned about how the community... and the way the improved everytime always amazed me, goodjob valve and dota2 team... may this keeps going

Nov 4, 20131) 5 stun team always win
2) Your carry cant farm because they are idiots
3) You support cant help you because thet are idiots
4) No diretide
༼ Give DIRETIDE -
Nov 2, 2013Offsetting some diretide here might be nice for a change. It's brilliant, it's amazing, it's got events (TI, WOO), and it's just fun to play if you ignore the trolls and haters, which is easy enough

Sep 16, 2013DotA2 must be on of the best MOBA games out those days, currently, it is HoN, LoL and DotA2.
And DotA2 are giving so many different things than the other games, DotA2 are actually a game which requires teamwork, knowledge and also using your brain to the max!
I have more then 1600 hours played, I am getting better and better! -
Nov 1, 2013Best game I have ever played but honestly if your reading metacritic then you need to get your reviews from a real and unbiased source such as PCGamer which gave this game almost full marks, (9/10)
-
Nov 1, 2013I've played this game for almost 9 years now and I don't regret a minute of that time. Incredible depth, ever-changing experience, awesome gameplay. The top game which set and made it's genre and the top game of that genre. Seriously, if you haven't tried it yet, just go and give it a few hundred hours, you won't regret it.
-
Nov 1, 2013A 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. -
Nov 2, 2013Dota 2 is a good game, people are just trolling about the bad reviews because of no tiretide and the delay on the new heroes =
Give Valve time, it will come. -
Dec 22, 2013Impressive how you can take one of the most loved games the world over, and come out with such a terrible sequel. Based on a Blizzard game- I suppose the devs are doing what they can to follow suit.
This is the Diablo 3 of mobas. -

Nov 1, 2013This game is totally stunning. Amazing graphic and sound, very excited game play and intensity of variety of strategies. Actually best game of my life
-
Nov 2, 2013Great game, thousands of hours in and still everyday it feels like a new game. Always something to learn, always something to perfect. Valve's themselves is also great and invests a lot into the game, probably one of the more realistic developers that delivers what customer needs and wants, while does not cross the line of abusing it's clients
-
Nov 2, 2013This is just getting stupid. DotA 2 is an awesome game and the fact that we didn't get a halloween special this year changes nothing. Of course it would have been nice but it just doesn't matter. Valve is, in my opinion, the best gaming company we have at the time. Just look at the serious reviews by Games Master UK, USgamer, PC PowePlay,... They all give 100 or 90.
-
Nov 2, 2013No Diretide. No communication with the community from Valve. No new hero in more than 3 months only hats and more hats to make more money. Disband Volvo please. Valve has abandoned the game. This game is now safe to leave. Fun has disconnected. Give DIRETIDE

Nov 2, 2013Valve does not care about game, rare updates,only cosmetics,no new heroes,no events, and NOW you didn't make DIRETIDE EVENT!!!NO MORE PATIENCE ,Valve, Shame on you!!!

Aug 22, 2013The same heroes, items and game dynamics from the original Defense of the Ancients with a big improvement in gameplay and in graphics. The best team pvp game that we have at the moment, this is the sport of the future. It's free to play but not pay to win and you play it online.

Oct 25, 2013Everything the original DotA was and more! Valve has done a great job and with each update the game gets better and better! While this game does a tougher entry level for new players, it is worth giving a shot!
-
Nov 2, 2013Thanks 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...
-
Nov 1, 2013Absolutely monotonous game, the sense in which no. The developer does not update the content. One game mode which are different battles 1/1 5/5. What developers themselves supposedly working on new content, but very slowly. Soon grow into a global knockout items and selling them at auction.
-
Nov 2, 2013Great game,but people like that just can't wait for dire tide and give it a 0.all i have to say about that is you accomplished nothing except giving valve a reason not to add diretide and based on how you acted they shouldn't. Thanks Dota community for being a bunch of spoiled brats

You should play League of Legends, not this game.
It used to best game ever, now it don't. Valve still not communication with their customer. How sad it is -

Nov 2, 2013Probably the deepest and most meaningful pvp experience you can have in an online game. From Hero choices, to lanes and item selections, this game has the possibilities of chess wrapped around a ridiculously skilled rts game.
-
Nov 2, 2013No new heroes, no bug fixes, no communication. Valve don't work over dota. Just add new items from workshop. Valve screwed the community over again,4 months no hero,no Halloween event (even though other Valve games have it),just hats. The game is dead. That's it.

Nov 2, 2013Valve stopped make good updates since August 2013, and there are break Matchmaking completely.
90-80% of dota community is much aggressive.
But i hope, Valve take a break and there 'll make good updates later... -

Nov 2, 2013Meh, This game was okay, but on Halloween I was really expecting something special. Luckily Club Penguin had some better stuff to do. Also, Volvo is involved somehow? The only thing that I know is if this game had some Halloween activities I'd give it a solid 3.

Nov 3, 2013Valve is TERRIBLE at communicating with their community and patching anything but cosmetic items into the game. I'd imagine Dota 2 would surpass League of Legends when it comes to the number of people playing it if Valve had more than one person dedicated to updating dota.
There have been about 120+ days since the last hero, that should tell you something. -
Nov 3, 2013hoped this game would get me really hooked up for a long long time but for my surprise when I was going to play my first match I discovered that the community is really unsupportive not beginner-friendly I just need 3 words to describe this game WORST COMUNNITY EVER

Nov 3, 2013This is one of the best games i played, its balanced, fun to play and completly free to play. All heroes are free so everyone has a fair start. It's more challenging than most Moba's, more dynamic and with awesome playerbase.
Ps.
If you rate this game 0 becouse there was no Diretide this year you just forgot what Moba is about.
Have fun -
Nov 3, 2013One of the best mobas of today. Requires timing coordination with your teammates, inteligence..
The only problem is sometimes the matchmaking that puts you with totally new people and sometimes people get mad (like myself) because of this.

Aug 15, 2017And 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.
