    Dota is when your mother is promoted.
    Dota is when stable 2 wins, 2 losses.
    Dota is when you are a slave to support.
    Dota is ****

    DOTA 2 is the only game of this universe and all sorts of parallel universes. This game gives knowledge beyond the edges of the knowledge of this universe.

    Must be the most difficult game to master, ever.
    The rules keep changing, the patches change the game every time, unbalanced heroes are released frequently, etc. It has so many layers of complexity that boggles the mind, nobody, not even icefrog (the main designer) understand the implications of their changes, so Valve uses their user base to balance things out.

But that is not the problem, the real problem is that for you to enjoy this game, you will need to find 10 real friends to play it properly and balance your matches. The online community is so full of toxic people, smurfs and just grieving people that make the whole matchmaking affair a walk on hell. Valve does little to control this. If you are of the competitive type, chances are that you would find very hard to climb the MMR ladder with all the cheaters and smurfs and just toxic people ruining games every time.

    The game is less boring than other MOBA titles, but it's still all the same shallow gameplay in my opinion.

    I am a long time player and in a dysfunctional relationship with this Game.... been playing this game on and off since this was just a Warcraft III Mod
    ONE VERY IMP ASPECT OF THIS GAME
    TO ALL NEW PLAYERS thinking about getting into this game...
    Do not I repeat Do not download this game unless u are someone who can pour a minimum of 2000 to 3000 hours into this game before u actually get to enjoy this game's very very intricate itemization and borderline mental torture level of Team Match Pairing.....!!
    IF u are someone who has at least 3 or more friends already into this game from some time then by all means this game is for people like you, with friends who know a thing or two about this game u will really enjoy it.... and U will also pick up the aspects of the game faster
    BUTTT BUT BUT If u are a solo gamer with not a lot of time and no real avid gamer buddies JUST AVOID this game completely because Trust me this game will make u feel more worthless than anyone ever can actually make u feel !!!
    The game is highly imbalanced when SOLO pairing you with team mates.... Excessively Steep Learning Curves to heroes almost bordering on carpel tunnel levels of physical stress along with Mental stress equivalent to punching holes in your Screen and Keyboard and Mouse Destroying Level of Team Support (P.S. Trust me i have broken a dozen mouses and at least 3 keyboards in my playtime) !!!!
    In conclusion Dota is, I would not say GOOD GAME as it is excessively Unfriendly to New Gamers.... But it is a competent Game Nonetheless !!!!
    I do recommend this game albeit with conditions..... 2 or more friends already Dota Players and thousands of hours of free time to pump into Severe Mental and after some time actual Physical Agony !!

    The Game is rly ****
    At first there not enough options for me to play the game like I want to play it.
    Farm denying is a rly **** mechanic for Tryhards.

    Maybe u can have fun when u play the game enough but for me it's just one of the worst MOBA's

    Сразу скажу, что оценивать игру за коммьюнити не правильно и моя оценка с ним никак не связана.

    Лучшая игра своего жанра в плане графики, механик, удобности и скорости подбора игроков. Графически очень проработанная игра с чётко прорисованными героями, текстурами карты со всем её вытекающим наполнением. Геймплей игры завязывается на добиваниях крипов, убийстве героев соперников и основной цели - уничтожения трона врагов. Персонажей много, каждый имеет собственные уникальные механики, в комбинациях между которыми можно не только успешно провести файт(драку), но и насладится красочным визуальным представлением. Для игроков нашедших игру интересной, есть рейтинговый матчмейкинг где можно повышать свой уровень игры и подниматься по рейтингу к более сильным игрокам. Если достичь определенного высокого рейтинга, есть шанс попасться на глаза к профессиональным командам и связать отрезок своей жизни с киберспортом. Дота является самой высокооплачиваемой игрой среди киберспортивных дисциплин, благодаря чему имеет высокий интерес среди молодежи желающей зарабатывать деньги играя.
    Среди конкурентов по популярности можно выделить лишь Лигу Легенд, которая по моему субъективному мнению проигрывает мультяшной комиксной графикой, не особо удобным лаунчером и магазином с непонятными для новоиспеченных игроков : рунами, талисманами и прочими лишними объектами.

    They still haven't reached Wc3 parity, they don't talk to the community EVER, there is no ranked ladder at all, the game is full of bugs which have not even attempted to be fixed.

For example they completely forgot about Halloween in Dota 2 while adding Halloween content in Tf2 and CS:GO. Overall the Dota game in Wc3 is a masterpiece but Dota 2 is a garbage can due to Valves apathetic development. They are only making this game to milk people for money by adding hats and tickets.

    I hoped 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

    An absolutely toxic community. Cheaters are in every second game. I don't even want to talk about feeders, underage ruiners and about the other stuff.

    Some days ago I registered a new account, the conduct was more than 9k, it's like the maximum. And what this system did? Yes I started to play with Gabe's family. In every second game underage sh*t-eaters was feeding and harassing each other. It's on 9k of conduct, I can to remind, a lot of players they have not this kinda conduct.
    After 25 games, I checked my new conduct, and try to guess.
    Yeah, it's 5k. I muted the chat and haven't said a word, but I has been reported.
    So well done.
    If you think, it's an aggressive review, it is what you will find in the game. Much less, because every second monkey will ruin the match and they will say how they was having your mom.
    So shove your fake reviews up your ass Gabe.
    Don't install and do not even try to purchase anything from dota in-game shop.

    Started like DOTA in 2012. Every year closer and closer to LOL, and after all, even HON. Especially, some changes were copied from HON to DOTA2 and reversed.

    After years, it is turned into a colorful Chinese circus, not so far from LOL. All is schematized, predictable and gameplay is alot about farming. Fighting is more similar to LOL. More burst, heroes with more active spells (Drow Ranger, Bloodseeker, Dazzle, Crobelus etc.), in general, more quicker gameplay like "competitive" scene need and wanted, especially China "competitive" scene.

    The community around the game is snobbish, and arrogant, convinced of their perfection because they play DOTA2. Because it is DOTA - hard and elite, not at all. Far easier than DOTA.
    DOTA+ is a pay-to-play program. Which gives those paying "clients" what they deserve. Backslapping games full of "owning" those players, which aren't so good. To boost their ego. There is no reason to waste time with this crap.
    Until competitive pro-players do not care about fair-play, which they never do, they are only circus apes of Valve.

    Valve bought it to have at least one MOBA game, especially a fanbase that mindlessly adores them, because they make DOTA like they want, which does not mean, how DOTA needs to be.

    Gameplay is farming, sometimes fighting and denying. Boring.

    Valve is printing users of this game by adding it to every library of every user. What a garbage!

Sadly, the volvo company put their hands on this great game idea.

    Dota 2 this game probably needs no introduction, as it will be hard to find a person who has not heard of it. Dota is a legendary game, the brightness of which blurs the terrible community. Today we played a game with blue, he's a f*****g m*****r. And the game is s***t by the way. It drains money from poor impoverished children in Af*ica kills their nerve cells and unfortunately mothers too.

    This game is a MOBA (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena) with over 123 characters, there's bond to be at least a handful that are right for you! Each hero also has alternate designs that can mix and match. It's amazing that not 1 game is ever the same.

    What I hated, the players expect you to know all the buzz words and gameplay. This can't be avoided because not knowing can be game ending. I highly recommend looking up videos about how to play your hero because if you miss click or don't get to fire off, there is no redo or pause button because the entire game is live with ten people. Meaning that if the restroom is needed, 9 people will be waiting for a return and they aren't patient because anyone can resume the game after 30 seconds.

    There is no campaign here, so, all that is needed to know is how to play. Once you know your hero, the next step is to learn all the items that can extend your abilities. With over 208 items. It will never get boring.

    What I love. The cosmetics have a market and the prices can go to the moon and back. A player can spend on cosmetics, return in 3 years and get their return and then some. Do you want invisibility? Well there's an item for that. Do you want regeneration? There a item for that. Do you want to shock your enemy with a dragon stick? Well it's on sale!

    No friends? No problem. There is a match finder and it takes about 3 minutes on average to find a game. Gamer be ware because each game is on minimum 35 minutes and I'm not joking. The glory of winning in team is nothing short of incredible.

    Tournaments for this game are in the millions every year. It's amazing that they are able to book arenas for just one game. 9/10

    I grew up playing Dota. It was one of the best times of my life when I could achieve first blood or killing sprees. That game is no more. I do NOT want to spend 1 hour of my life per match just waiting to be 1 shotted by someone. I do not recommend this MOBA. I will return to heroes of the storm, hoping she can forgive me.

It is a highly competitive and strategic game to play, it takes a while to master but eventually with the help of my friends I had a good grip on this game faster than I expected.

I’m not addicted to gaming nor it plays a huge role in my life, but it is a small getaway for me after my stressful studies and also a great way to spend quality time with my friends.

    My first step in Dota isnt easy because it has a complicated game system and many heroes to choose from as in which all those heroes function and operate differently. But after practicing with my friends for a while, I learned how to play at a decent level and understand how each hero performs inside the game.

    This game is truly a masterpiece, their game graphic is smooth and realistic making my gaming experience so remarkable, their sound has beat and rhythm which I really enjoy when playing. Additionally, they have a wide variety of customs and allow us to change the appearance of our favorite heroes, this just makes us feel that we played a role in creating this game

    If you’re looking for a multiplayer and challenging game to play with friends, I would say Dota is the perfect choice for you, you doesn't have to be old enough or young enough to play but just enjoy the game and have fun.

    I still can't believe the game is free after all these years and with continuous updates, sometimes few times every year, always improving and putting out new heroes.

    The only, but very important, downside of this game is its community which is harsh and full of a-h...annoying people. Not sure what Valve can do to mitigate that but it's something I've been struggling with all these years, sometimes it gets too annoying that after being trashed, trolled or what not during a game, I literally just uninstall... just to come back few months after when I am tired of other games.

    Dota 2 is one of the worst games in MOBA history, it went from the most fundamental game into unconditional absolute chaos.
    Somehow, Dota 2 do not care about its player base and teaches them where to lane or what a "carry" is and making the game time-consuming and stressful to play because you couldn't dodge, abandon without getting punished, avoid a match or have unlimited avoid reports,

    Dota 2, to me, stands as the best, most complex, addicting, rewarding, and polished MOBA out there. However, my relationship with the game has been tumultuous due to its community, prompting me to quit in 2014-2015 (after Techies' hero launch). Recently, in 2022, I decided to give it another shot and returned to the battlefield, totaling around 4k hours across my accounts.

    Dota 2, to me, stands as the best, most complex, addicting, rewarding, and polished MOBA out there. However, my relationship with the game has been tumultuous due to its community, prompting me to quit in 2014-2015 (after Techies' hero launch). Recently, in 2022, I decided to give it another shot and returned to the battlefield, totaling around 4k hours across my accounts.

    The game itself is a masterpiece, boasting intricate mechanics and well-crafted gameplay. Yet, it is plagued by one significant drawback—the Dota 2 community. Within its player base, you'll find individuals who refuse to communicate in English, spammers, and those who feed intentionally due to petty disagreements about lane assignments. Toxicity is a common occurrence, particularly in unranked matches, although ranked play varies depending on your rank.

    Before diving into Dota 2, it's crucial to consider this aspect of the community. However, if you can endure the toxic encounters, you'll discover a game that truly shines with its skill-dependent gameplay. Mastering Dota 2 takes time and dedication, and new players will likely feel overwhelmed by the vast amount of knowledge to absorb. Yet, with perseverance, you'll grasp the intricacies and improve over time.

    One of the game's standout features is its excellent free-to-play business model. All gameplay content, including heroes, modes, and the arcade, is accessible for free. However, Dota 2 monetizes through cosmetics and battle passes, which offer a plethora of cosmetics and rewards earned through grinding. It's important to exercise caution here; while cosmetics add a nice touch to the game, excessive spending on them can quickly escalate. To get the most value for your money, consider purchasing cosmetics from the marketplace rather than opening chests.

    One particular feature that I find bothersome is the Dota Plus subscription. While it offers some helpful in-game suggestions, it veers into the territory of pay-to-win elements, which detracts from the game's competitive integrity. Moreover, they lock player progression behind the subscription, stopping heroes' progression to level 5 for non-subscribers. Progression is a fundamental aspect of gaming, and gating it behind a subscription is an unnecessary inconvenience.

    Despite these drawbacks, Dota 2 remains an exceptional game at its core, offering an unparalleled MOBA experience. Just be prepared to face the challenges presented by its community, and you'll find a deeply rewarding and engaging gaming journey ahead.

    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.
