    Лучшая игра в мире. Которая ты любишь и ненавидишь одинаково

    Худшая игра в мире. В общей суме я потратил на нее 5к часов и очень жалею об этом.
    Немного плюсов:
    1) С друзьями +- играбельно, даже можно фулл стаком положительные эмоции испытывать, но зачастую лишь когда вы в 5 фанитесь; 2) В игре есть интересные кастомки. Причины почему игра худшая: 1) Вообще нет баланса, в каждом патче есть имбы и эти самые патчи выходят 1 раз в хуеву тучу лет.

    1) Вообще нет баланса, в каждом патче есть имбы и эти самые патчи выходят 1 раз в хуеву тучу лет.
    2) На любом рейтинге тима из 4-5 чсв, которые играют на корах и садятся на саппорта только тогда, когда нужны жетоны чтобы играть на коре.
    3) Ты проебешь на ап своего скилла огромное количество времени, чтобы по итогу ничего не добиться в 95% случаев.
    4) Худшее комьюнити, в доте абсолютно нормально переходить на личности: говорить, что ты чью-то мать трахал, что у кого-то отец мертвый и т.д.
    В общем советую вообще не заходить в эту игру, лишь потратите свое время и нервы.

    One of the best competitive online games in the world. It is very hard to inroduce new players in it because of that number of mechanics and possible plays that you can do

    This game is a timeless classic. The fact that it is a decade old and continues to be one of the most popular titles on Twitch by viewership speaks for itself. If you are into PvP MobA action, Dota 2 is the perfect game for you. Valve keeps the game consistently fresh and updated so the replayability is endless

    Before I played Dota 2 i was a kind person and had a big wee wee, lots of friends, awesome girlfriend and absolutely a lot of will to live. All of these things i lost, now i'm toxic racist little man sitting home alone and hating everyone but the game is pretty good. KekL

    Best game ive ever played, altho kind of rough learning curve. They say until you play at least 10k hours you are still noob. Also very time consuming. I play it on and off since its release, and its getting only better.

    Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) in Warcraft III is the best and greatest MOBA game, no doubt. DOTA 2 is the next generation and a standalone version that is kept updated. I don't suggest anyone who never played DOTA to play it unless you have some really nice friends to play with you.

This game is like WoW, if you were lucky to play it when it just came out and you keep playing it, you will absolutely love it. But it is not a game that you can play it now without any basic concept. It is just too overwhelming for newbies. It is not your fault it is also not the game's fault. It is just bad timing, like many other bad timings in your life. Expand

    Это не игра... Это жизнь. От того и странно, что Valve по классике забила на свою популярную игру болт, оставив пару человек на такой огромный онлайн проект, из-за чего приличную часть контента пилят на аутсорсинге, а часть сами игроки. От чего ещё больнее смотреть на игроков, которые постоянно просят какие-либо обновления, а потом ноют из-за любой ерунды. Как в том же патче 7.33 простоЭто не игра... Это жизнь.

    Комьюнити этой игры это вообще что-то с чем-то. У меня 2000+ часов в доте, и я много что о ней знаю, но меня всё равно найдут за что заху**осить тиммейты, особенно если я играю на 1-3 позиции. Ведь по их логике, в игре с системой 50% - ты должен постоянно выигрывать свой лайн, иначе ты долб**б, который вообще дышать не должен. Просто что-то с чем-то, а не игра.

    In my opinion, this game is one of the best games made by Valve
    Of course, I must say that it has a strong ban system

    Mechanically speaking, this game is a 10. The community however, is a 0. Absolutely the most toxic people I have ever encountered. It eventually turns you toxic to survive/continue playing. Honestly wish I would have never played.

    This game improved so much since it was released on the beta. There are over 90 heroes to choose from currently and the game play is as intense and as rewarding as DOTA1. I know a lot of people will be hesitant to try it at first but there has been a new tutorial system implemented in DOTA2 and I think it will help new comers.

Its like comparing COD and Battlefield, they are so different that can not be compared. Give this game a try, the learning curve is very steep but it is rewarding when you learn. I think this is the best gave valve has ever developed and has been the most played game on steam ever since the second year of beta development. Try it out, its free . Expand

    I've got a solid couple thousand hours, here's what I would say after watching the game over the last decade or so.

    Visuals: Game looks great and performs great, even today its visuals are actually pretty rock solid! Sound: Music is fantastic, sound effects are also spot on! Voiced characters sound great. Gameplay: If you can put in the time, and have enough friends to play
    I've got a solid couple thousand hours, here's what I would say after watching the game over the last decade or so.

    Visuals: Game looks great and performs great, even today its visuals are actually pretty rock solid!

    Sound: Music is fantastic, sound effects are also spot on! Voiced characters sound great.

    Gameplay: If you can put in the time, and have enough friends to play with, this can be one of the greatest gaming experiences available! The downside, it takes an immense amount of time to know whats going on and the characters, even after hundreds of hours its a constant stream of learning and adapting. Even if you get to know all the characters the game changes and gets updated all the time, so its hard if you're not current. Overall some good and bad here, one they have a dev that looks out after the game. But some might say they've made way too many changes and maybe have focused too much on a massive hero pool. It's definitely one of the more daunting games to get into if you're new. If you are competitive and like team-based strategy that requires communication this is elite. Again, some of the best possible gaming experience you can have here.

    Buttttttt...... also some of the worst, as it goes with MOBAS, the community is toxic. People get frustrated, specially if you're new. A game can take from 30-60 minutes id say 45 is pretty typical, so people get mad. You can mute all you want but the game is not the same without a team and comms. It's best if you got a 5 stack of friends to play with.

    While it does have some great moments, it also is bogged down by a toxic community and wildly steep learning curve.

    You deprive the players of interaction! 6000 - to write to the chat, 8000 - to talk - it's too much! Players on a low rating throw reports just for fun - and as a result, people simply do not have the opportunity to raise decency!

You're just killing the game on a low rating and a mid-level rating. Terrible update! Fat dislike!

    it kills the desire to play! a few of my friends have drop Dota 2 after this patch. back to mute by default, so that the player decides - unlock teammate or not!

    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.
