Dec 20, 2013This game is generally terrible, with also an obnoxious and toxic community. If you are a new player or possibly interested, STAY AWAY

Aug 3, 2014Playing this over 10 god damn years. Still not done yet - game to freakin deep - the neverstopping process of learning new, analysing data, mastering all the little aspects will literally drive you nuts if you brain loves to keep working. But nobody forces you to - you can just have fun like most of the players do.

Aug 6, 2014This **** sucks, terrible gameplay, terrible community, **** graphics. League for life. League> Dota 2. League> Dota 2.League> Dota 2.League> Dota 2.League> Dota 2.League> Dota 2.

Sep 2, 2014Awful gameplay. Awful graphics. Awful support from Valve. I honestly can NOT think of a single good thing about this game. League of Legends is the better MOBA in every regard.

Dec 17, 2014This game is pretty good but i own too much no real challenge in this game... 6000 rating and i only play meepo which is considered the hardest character, but hey this game is totally easy and fun. I guess this is a kids game

Feb 3, 2015Addictively fun clickfest mixed with crushing frustration. If there was a symbol to describe the feeling you get playing Dota 2, it would be the yin-yang. A balance of good and bad elements that create an epic game. It is hard to properly describe a game that has acended to this height of audacious creativity. One can only stand and stare in awe.

Nov 1, 2013this is a great game, but yeah i think valve should communicate more.
don't listen to these spammers, their comments are awful nad they are just mad over nothing -
Sep 16, 2013I found this game to be to stale. It's just so difficult to enjoy when you have an hour of repetitive gameplay, really reminds me of D3 and that's supposed to be an insult. I noticed that the other players were very rude and hostile to beginners, and really made my experience even more negative.
-
Aug 20, 2013This is an excellent pvp action, where 10 people are divided into two teams of 5 people and fight for the win, first game may not like it, but if you understand it, you can play it for hours and have fun!
-
Nov 1, 2013This isnt a joke, going around giving false scores on games you clearly have played and enjoyedm why else would you be mad about not getting diretide... unless you are one of those guys that just wantes the items, and to u i say go buy them ur seld..
-
Nov 1, 2013The greatest multiplayer game ever made, with absolutely beautiful design and unparalleled finesse. Not as hard to get into as most people say, but there are constantly new skills to develop and things to learn. This is a game in its purest form not a hand-holding interactive story. Rewarding and very, very fun.
-
Nov 1, 2013Valve recognizes the hardship that many students down in Australia are facing right now with exams just starting. They're so respectful not to punish us by releasing a Halloween update but instead give us an opportunity to not procrastinate. Well done Valve!
TL;DR: Valve loves Aussies. #VLA -
Nov 8, 2013pudge good hero, i hook enemies and make them dead in pain and agony. please make more pudge heroes so we can all hook enemies and make them dead in pain and agony
-
Nov 1, 2013Great game, hate the community. Just read these "reviews" for why the community sucks. Yes, Valves lack of communication is an issue, but spamming metacritic is not the right way to go about telling them that. It damages the game in the long term, and will accomplish nothing. Honestly, with this behavior WE don't deserve Diretide.

Oct 27, 2013Great pvp, with great champions. Great team play, game play. There's around 100 champions, for newbies, medium and advanced. If u don't know which champion is good for u just go single draft and i know that u will find something good. 10/10

Nov 2, 2013This game is amazing! I hate the fact that there are huge changes that happen for no apparent reason... But the game itself and the mechanics behind it are amazing! The most-balanced and fair MOBA. There's going to be some haters, but oh wells... LOL!
-
Nov 2, 2013i dont why people area hating this because valve didn't give us diretide this year, i still love this game, it provides us with a decent matchmaking, love the heroes, the only thing i hate is the community itself. In all the game is amazing
-
Nov 2, 2013Thank you, Valve, that I can see so much butthurts. That looks funny. :)
People play only Dota2 in Steam and now they put 0, but still playing it.
People, stop playing, if you want to put 0. -
Nov 8, 2013Well this game is not for the weak hearted but once spend an initial time learning all the basics...
I can guarantee that this will be the most fun you will have in a game EVER -
Nov 15, 2013Servers are awful. A lot of lags. Valve doesn't care about community. They are too lazy to do smth new like hero or patch. All they want to do more items for shop...ofc u should spend real money /sob
-
Nov 1, 2013This is the game that never stops giving. Extremely balanced with a lively and shifting professional scene. This game will certainly go down as one of the most popular e-sports of our time.
-
Nov 3, 2013This is probably the most satisfying game ever. Those who are whining about bad system and communication problems are just mad about the fact there was no Diretide this year. I love Diretide too but the absence of this mode doesn't mean that Dota is a bad game. I put 9.5/10 to this game because it seems to all my friends and me to be brilliant.

Jul 16, 2013The game has good and bad points.
The good: So nice graphics, good improvements (then dota 1)...
The bad: The game dont have feling, i dont like the separete market... -
Nov 3, 2013First off you'll be finding a match for 10-20 min then when you find it it's 70 russian players feeding & quitting. Played the game for 50 hours but it's not as good as League of legends Game looks ugly Mechanics are old and wtf is up with turning it takes like ages to turn Also hero balance is up the ass

Nov 1, 2013I understand that many people were waiting for diretide last 3 days. But it is not reason to underestimate the game assessment. Valve didn't promise you anything, so why do you so angry? Game really good and you will play this game for many years.
-
Nov 4, 2013Fantastic game. Although it's not one of my most played titles, it is a very put together game that can offer a lot of fun. Ignore the negative reviews from users, they represent the underbelly of the DOTA fan base, the childlike players who believe that Valve owes them something. 10/10
-
Nov 8, 2013They didn't fail us! GOOD JOB VALUE!
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. -

Jul 31, 2013Best tool for delightful "tvou mamku ebal" ever created. Unparalleled nerdrage and butthurt inducting options. Also packed with tons of hats and donation options for those who like their hats new and shiny, and don't care that much for an action itself!
10/10 would bang again! -

Sep 28, 2013DotA 2 is honestly one of the best games I have ever played. You start the game with all the heroes unlocked, so while the learning curve may be somewhat difficult for new players, you are ready to dive right in and try whatever hero you think is cool. Even if you do not normally enjoy competitive games this game is worth a shot, and you may find your opinion change.
-
Nov 1, 2013Terrible UI for MOBA. When they fixed that or make custom UI then will be a great game. Spectator mode terrible too, u can call ur friend who watch ur game and tell u bout enemy movements. And no information about all players on standart spectetor UI screen. Look at HoN, why u cant do spectator mode like there?

Nov 2, 2013Garbage matchmaking
Garbage report system
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.

Nov 3, 2013The ultimate form of PvP. It will test your wits and reflexes. This game requires teamwork, concentration and communication. It is challenging, integrative and rewarding.
-
Nov 3, 2013Dota 2 is an amazing game. You may have seen a lot of negative reviews as of late due to factors that don't have anything to do with the game play. Play the game for yourself and see. If it appeals to you, you will be hooked for years to come.
-
Nov 3, 2013This game is actually too good for your health. If you're in a relationship where you're living together, you must make a decision: dota 2 or your relationship.

Dec 12, 2013Possibly one of the worst communities I have ever seen in any online game. Was insulted and my first game resulted in one smurf on the enemy team spawn trapping us and calling us bad and other derogatory names. I strongly recommend you stay away from this game.

Dec 14, 20131 of worst commutation in MMO games ever.
Matchmaking is totally broken, find Russian players to party even if You want play America servers with English preference. -

May 9, 2014Used to love the game. But valve refuses to implement region locks. They only feel the need to use them when people are capitalizing on their trade system. It seems when the community wants something to alleviate language barriers, they can't even respond to them, but if someone is bartering their games, then they nip it asap. Money hungry pigs.

Nov 1, 2013R.I.P Diretide... DOTA 2 wonderful game. Invokerfor life. Very deep game with a great pvp experience. After 1500 hours of game u still learn and enjoy the gameplay. Tournaments and Dota tv makes it just perfect. We wait for custom maps.

Nov 2, 2013Quite certainly the best ARTS of all time, nothing else comes even remotely close. Also a stable playerbase peaking at 550k-600k users per day. All the whiny kids get a great free game, but that doesn't keep them from whining of course. a problem with every big game community.
-
Nov 1, 2013Just trying to help and counter this "GIVE DIRETIDE" cancer. The game is great. Yes, the community is angry about the "no halloween" update, however, it's still one of the greatest F2P game over the decade.

Nov 1, 2013True that at the time Valve doesn't communicate enough about their plans. An event is late, and we have 0 informations about it, which is a shame.
We should rate the game, and not put a 0 to "punish" Valve for something we did not like -
Nov 2, 2013Maybe it's normal, when 12 years old kid's are so angry.
People who want to play dota2, people who like it dont need any kind of events
They just playing and loving it -
Nov 2, 201310/10 Russians will cry about Diretide, about not getting free courier and some other BUT cries about update adding new sets, if you wanna play Diretide, go to d2ware.net.

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.
