Nov 8, 2013Diretide was given, game is alive. Just giving Dota the score it deserves. Hopefully we'll be back up to a score of 8.x like we were before this debacle.

Nov 8, 2013Amazing game, A lot of noobs here obviously can't handle a real competitive game (understandable when they come from a game like league of legends made for children) I've played over 800 games and i'll definitely play over 800 more.
-
Nov 8, 2013Thanks for continuing to be awesome Valve. It takes a lot to admit when mistakes are made, and it was dealt with in a professional and cordial manner. I continue to have a great deal of respect for this company. Keep up the awesome work guys.

Nov 8, 2013Great game, super fun, made by best car company around. Well balanced and parity updates every year making the way the game is played different and more exciting. Also fixing the negative reviews by all the crying children.
-
Nov 8, 2013Well. I'm a dota 2 player. What can I say.
Every day, every night, all the time. At school, at home, at work. I die for my dota, I live for my dota. -
Nov 8, 2013Amazing game that will suck the life out of you. Time and patience will be needed but well rewarded. A lot of time will be needed to be semi proficient at this game but once you understand the basics you will find yourself playing game after game

Nov 8, 2013Best game i've played. It has been 8 years and i'm still not bored. Every game I've played, there has been something different, something new and i'm still learning
-
Nov 8, 2013DotA 2 is one of the deepest, most engaging experiences ever created. You can easily lose thousands of hours playing it. It is social, tactical, has an enormous skill ceiling, and has a great developer behind it continuing to shape and push the game into better and better places.
-

Nov 8, 2013There is learning curve, yes. But the experience thereafter is tremendously rewarding. I regularly play Dota 2 with friends, and it has become a part of our routine. The complexity, in my opinion, is a significant factor to Dota 2's replayability.
-
Nov 8, 2013A great game, don't listen to the negative reviews as they were a result of no Diretide. As long as you pass the steep learning curve you're set to have an incredible amount of fun.
-
Nov 8, 2013This game is really good and has a solid developer making it. they may be quiet but they always have a reason and will man up to it if they make a mistake. Do not listen to these negative reviews because a few people were upset over a lack of a halloween event.
-
Nov 8, 2013This Game is the most amazing game there is! Have spent more than 1000 hours on it in less than a year (like 11 months) and no showing of my passion fading. DIRETIDE IS HERE!
-
Nov 8, 2013Amazing multiplayer pvp game. Steep learning curve, but easily well worth it. Also, Gave DIRETIDE. Fun for the casual and competitive gamer alike.
-
Nov 8, 2013Thnx Valve(o) you didn't forget about the community.

Nov 8, 2013Great game for all strategy fans, tons of choices in builds, tactics. Each game is different, you can't snowball like in other games in genre. To enjoy this game you need to spend some time but it will be rewarded for you later on.
-
Nov 8, 2013This game is orginall and tries new ways to innovate eSports from new angles other companies fail to see.
They always update the game for the greater good and always been supportive about the community. -

Nov 8, 2013There are some problem with game. MM, bugs, not so many community attention and too many hats, but its not even matter because of the most great balance in all MOBA games. The work what did Valve in last 3 years is just incredible.
-
Nov 8, 2013Great game, playing Dota since it's early stages and watching it become what dota 2 has become is awesome. Probably the best moba you will find. Valve is really trying hard, making this game better every day
-
Nov 8, 2013Fantastic game. Seriously, completely ignore the user reviews for this game, read the critic reviews, or even the reviews from another site. Just ignore the bad user reviews, they are all a result of raging. The game itself is literally the best multiplayer PvP game to come out in the past decade.
-
Nov 8, 2013Really amazing game! Always something to learn, it's such a beautiful game packed in 1 map.
anyway..

Nov 8, 2013I sincerely believe this is one of the best games created and the fact that spoiled brats would rate this down because they didn't get there way is shameful to the community.
-
Nov 8, 2013i cant believe the score is currently 4.0 just because a group of people got mad at Valve.
Valve is awesome and so is Dota 2!
10/10
The game is Free 2 Play! Fun to play, awesome to watch as a spectator! Highly competitive, balanced!
Once you get into Dota you won't regret it! -
Nov 8, 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, 2013Very fun game, and while the community can go on the fritz sometimes it is still very enjoyable to play. I recommend learning/playing this game with friends, it makes the entire experience more pleasant. While the knowledge to learn might be a bit daunting, once you get a grip on it you should find yourself playing more and more.
-
Nov 8, 2013this game improved my life by 200%, first it cured my cancer that I was dying from, then I won a billion dollars and can play this game all day all night because I don't have to work anymore. thanks valve
-
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, 2013Best action strategy game. I really enjoy playing this game non-stop. Brilliant and variety in-game cosmetic items. Dota tv easy to access and variety of tournament every day
-
Nov 8, 2013DoA 2 is one of the deepest, most engaging experiences ever created. You can easily lose thousands of hours playing it. It is social, tactical, has an enormous skill ceiling, and has a great developer behind it continuing to shape and push the game into better and better places.
-
Nov 8, 2013Valve is a great company that cares about its customers, and I've spent more time playing Dota 2 than pretty much any other game ever, despite being late to the party. It's a great, addictive, life sucking game and it is run by a company that has no peers, and definitely does not deserve any of the vitriolic behavior some of the community has thrown at it.
Also: RECIEVED DIRETIDE -

Nov 8, 2013Incredible game with a lot of depth and complexity. It does have a huge learning curve and can be frustrating, but that's not a bad thing. There are a plethora of resources and communities that can aid you in learning. Learning how to deal with frustration and stress in the game allows you to apply it to your everyday life (if you still have one after getting addicted).
-
Nov 8, 2013Cancelling out the trolls is a difficult task, but a necessary one. People ruined the rating until they got what they wanted, and finally they did. Best game ever by best company ever.
-
Nov 8, 2013Great game, Good community (excellent compared to LoL's), Great balance, Good development team. There is room for improvement in their last act but great game as a whole!

Nov 8, 2013One of the best games I have played. 1000's of play value and consistent support and update from Valve is unmatched in terms of a product ever. Plenty of spectator value as well, as it only gets better once you understand the game more. And also the ever increasing popularity of The International, this game is going to be one of the biggest e-sports and games in the near future.
-
Nov 8, 2013This game is absolutely amazing. No match is ever exactly the same. Valve did us a solid with this freebie.

Nov 8, 2013Dota 2 is pretty much the only game worth a damn now a days. Been playing Dota for 9 years now and have tried the rest of the Moba genres but can't beat Dota. Valve keep the heroes coming... We want Techies xD
-
Nov 8, 2013
-
Nov 8, 2013the score is so low because people spammed 0's after the diretide incident, and dota 2 doesn't deserve this at all. Honestly it's a great game, one (if not the) best MOBA/ARTS out there and you should give it a try. It's totally free in the end
-
Nov 8, 2013Love the game a lot! by far the best ARTS in the genre. I recommended this game to anyone who is willing to give it a try, but be remindful that the learning curve is the highest of all ARTS and you should be prepared to criticism well

Nov 8, 2013YES DIRETIDE. VOLVO IS THE BEST 10/10 MORE RARES PLZ.. GOOD GAME AND COOL STUFF LIKE DIRETIDE. NEED LESS HATS MORE DIRETIDE TO MAKE GAME BETTTER DDDDDDDDD
-
Nov 8, 2013Dota 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.
-
Nov 8, 2013This 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.
-
Nov 8, 2013This 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.
-
Nov 8, 2013Great game. Valve finally listens to the players! They finally fixed diretide and they apologised for forgetting it, 10 To fix the score although the game is probably a solid 8.
Alive game. Volvo reband. -
Nov 8, 2013Game is awesome we sorry valve we love you again Please forgive us and all the wrong doings. Best game ever love it we got sad but now we are glad once again =D

Nov 8, 2013For all of you Dota fans out there, just try it, try and say it is bad, I dare you. I once played Dota but no more, because this is simply a step up. Dota 2 take all the good from Dota and add more. Oh and also, THANK YOU VALVE!!
-
Nov 8, 2013DIRETIDE SECURED.
On a more serious note its the most in depth MOBA out there. Hard learning curve but when you get the hang of it its one of the best games in my opinion -
Nov 8, 2013One of the best games of its genre. It is the benchmark at which other MOBAs will be judged by. Valve is one of those companies that genuinely cares about its player base the implementation of regular patches to change up the meta of the game and improve it are testament to this.

Nov 8, 2013I have been playing this game for about seven years, though played HoN for about a year then back again to Dota, and I must say I would play this game for the rest of my life.

But seriously though this is the best game ever. Most addictive, in-depth,strategic, amazing MOBA game out there. Such a great e-sport too. -
Nov 8, 2013Love this game, been playing since dota1, and will continue to do so! good job Valve! It incorporates teamwork and skills and if you don't have both you'll lose. I think it's GENIUS! Dota is the future! hahaha
-
Nov 8, 2013Amazing game with alot of possibilities and strategies. Play with friends for maximum fun! I've been playing it for at least 2 games every night since I got into the beta and its still great! I'm not even hesitant to put this in my top 5 games of all time!

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.
