Nov 3, 2013There is no communication with the community! Their goal is makig money... nothing more. Game is fun tough, but where is the support from Valve?? For example DireTide is supposed to be an ANNUAL event... no not this time. Promising? Yes, but nothing more in reality!

Nov 3, 2013Dota 2 is an amazing game, made by an absolutely terrible team. Hasn't been updated in almost a half a year, no community interaction on what's going on, while the only thing that gets added is cash shop items.

Valve do not care for its customers by arranging a Halloween even in CS: Go and forget about DotA. It's not very nice of them, that does not paint them.

Nov 3, 2013Valve actually destroyed the soul of DotA 1. I believe that they did it just because of money. Game has been changed literally over night with this new patch, so they can sell new sets for heroes and earn more money. BRING BACK OLD DOTA GAMEPLAY!
-
Nov 9, 2013Simply the best MOBA right now..100 free to play and got awesome set and items available for buying.If you want to play the classic and original second edition of the Dota,thats your choice.11 points

Nov 3, 2013worst matchmaking and reporting system ever.
Nice graphics and game play.
no new heroes
many new hats
no region lock
But most importantly NO DIRETIDE!!! -
Nov 3, 2013server issues, broken matchmaking zero comunication with the community the only thing they care is your money, the only way to dota 2 become a better game is another company buying this game.

Nov 8, 2013Love the game! It is one of the most popular and most enjoyable free to play game coming of the steam library! definitely worth a try. It is good not only because it is a great game but because the company behind it, manage it so well. Even when, their customers show utmost immaturity.
-
Nov 9, 2013Dota2 is a very exciting, team based, rpg-like Game with the amazing attribute, that every match you play is different. The last user-submitted scores were pretty low due to missing updates from Valve, which they apologized for. Nevertheless is Dota2 really good and has a huge competitive scene.

Nov 8, 2013no other game is more enjoyable to learn and master than Dota2. while it is an incredibly difficult game to jump into, you feel extremely rewarded once you get the basic mechanics down, followed by advanced mechanics, and building up long term experience.
thanks for diretide btw. -
Nov 8, 2013Best game ever, after a lot of time put into the game i can only say that valve care for there community even if it's not 100% clear but they do care. Would recommend this game to anyone who is looking for a new game to play
-
Nov 8, 2013The current overall negative user review of Dota 2 is a result of entitled children downvoting the game over the omission of an "annual" free game mode. None of this petty behavior detracts from the gem that is Dota 2. Read the critics reviews and go try it for yourself.
-
Nov 8, 2013VOLVO GAVE US DIRETIDE! Honestly, a lot of people have been extremely upset at the lack of communication between the Devs and the Community but I think they'd made up for it with their last blog post!
-
Nov 8, 2013Not only is this game amazing, addicting, and free, but did I mention it's also amazing, addicting, and free? The variety of heroes over a hundred means every game is entirely different. From where you can lane 'em, how you build 'em, your skills and item choices, there is almost an infinite amount possibilities. Second, this game is addicting. I only have around 500 hours in and... yeah…

Nov 8, 2013Played this game for over 7 years by now. Still love it. And Valve did an amazing job porting it to a modern engine.
Awesome game, both in regards of being challening in individual skill but also team work. -
Nov 8, 2013Rly good game i hope valve continue with the good stuff coming, we need and we want communication like lol ppl have, we want attention we are gold if you can manage us well.
So pls valve play smart, you have dota in your hand that is 100% better than those copycats(lol,hon,smite,hos)
Don't throw gold thought the window again -
Nov 8, 2013A remake of the original DOTA with better graphics and its own engine, DOTA2 is definitely the best game of its genre. It is incredibly focused on keeping the game balanced while still keeping it an incredible challenge. It's hard to get started at first, but once you get into it there's no escape from the fun of DOTA2.
-
Nov 8, 2013This is a game where there are 10 people playing at once, in a highly competitive environment. If you can't take the occasional flame or bad game, don't play simple as that, because you will have a bad time.
BUT there is so much upside, especially if you can play with friends and be more coordinated. -
Nov 8, 2013I can guarantee that a good 70% of these angry reviews are either by fan-boys of other games or by people who were upset at no Diretide this year. Dota 2 is the best strategy game of this generation.
-
Nov 8, 2013People Where so mad about Diretide, Valve not releasing it. but here it is, we're getting it on the next update hope people are happy now and ENJOOY THE MODe

-
Nov 8, 2013This game is terrible for new players, but stick through with it and you will fall in love. The bad reviews are all from angry fans after valve made a mistake, the critic score is what this really should be based off of.

Nov 8, 2013best 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
-
Nov 8, 2013Such 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.
-
Nov 8, 2013This is a very very good game I cant stop playing it with my friends, thank you Volvo .
The balancing is very well done and every hero can be played significantly -

Nov 8, 2013One of the best games I've ever played. Takes a lot to get into, but once you do, you have a game for life. It makes you work with your team to win games.

Nov 8, 2013After 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.
-
Nov 8, 2013The game is amazing and well balanced. The only thing that need to improve is increasing the number of employee dedicated exclusively with Dota2. The fact that Valve step back and finally talked about Diretide is a good and valuable point.
-
Nov 8, 2013This 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.
-
Nov 8, 2013Compared 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!
-
Nov 8, 2013Classy act by valve. Shame to those people who spammed 0 as ratings here 1 week ago. Valve's even the one apologizing even though the people who tarnished dota2's score are the one at fault here.
-
Nov 8, 2013Amazing 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.
PS: TY VOLVO -
Nov 8, 2013Dota 2 is a really enjoyable free to play game that gets you really addicted. If you have tried LOL and liked it you should definetly try this. Its kind of the game lol is based on.
-
Nov 8, 2013One 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.
-
Nov 8, 2013Dota 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.

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.
-
