Dota 2


Dota 2 is a 3D MOBA published by Valve. The official remake of the original Dota mod, Dota 2 brings over 100 original heroes from the original. Each game of Dota 2 pits 5 players versus 5 other players in head to head PvP action! Players can choose participate in practice matches versus bots, engage in friendly matches with friends, or form a clan and compete against other teams.

In Dota 2 players choose a hero to enter battle with. Once in game, players must work together to level up and defeat the enemy teams base by destroying it. To do this players must kill the enemy teams "minions" which spawn in waves throughout the entire game. These minions drop gold which players can then use to purchase items in order to become stronger.

At the end of each match whether your team wins or looses, random players are awarded items which they can use to customize the appearance of their favorite heroes!

As my name states: Rest in Peace every MOBA game! It was nice playing with you all, these games were great, but it is time for them to die. The good old balance is no longer here... The good ideas were turned into s**t and parodies of themselves. The three of the greatest MOBAS: DotA2, League of Legends, and SMITE are soon to die, and don't say that the games are alive, they are dead. Only noobs or people who wasted so much money onto these games. It all started with one idea: "Aeon of Strife, a Starcraft 2 mod. After it came Defence of the Ancients, or DotA1 if you may call it, a Warcraft 3 mod. Then these three games began to develop." After a few years of running, it is time to put these games to rest. They were the three kings of the MOBA market, but now the market is about to die. It will remain for some time, because the developers still want their games to live, but they no longer succeed in doing so. DotA2 Reborn is horrible now, it is unbalanced, and it no longer have that perfect meta of 2013 before the TI3. League of Legends' developers are just trying to survive, because the game is no longer appealing. and SMITE, were always horrible, good idea, but it followed the Pay To Truly Play of the League, so not a lot of people wanted to get into the game. I have played all 3 games, for a good amount of time, but it is sad to realize that these games which started the new generation of MOBA games, the three kings, are soon will be dead. I am off to the DotA1 and Aeon of Strife! Just let these games to die, they are no longer worth your time!

whoever says this game sucks are real life noobs. Had to admit, learning curve in this game is unfortunately very steep but once u get a grasp of the basics, well, you will be stuck on your monitor and wont play any other MOBA games ever!
Graphics are wow, and most of all strategy is the key and community is somewhat amusing except russians (kappa)...

I honestly think dota 2 is better, and if you just did the tutorial of course you don't know how the real dota 2 is like. And if you're calling it for creepy people then you're probably just bad at it.

I have to say that after playing LoL, Smite, and various other MOBAs out there that Dota 2 is easily the best I have played. I mean sure when I first tried it I didn't like it because of the difficulty of the whole thing in general, but after I learned the ropes it became a much better experience overall.

Dota is one of the worst MOBA's ever made. Stop saying LoL copied them, LoL is more active and more popular then this trash game.

Dota2 will and always will be better than League of Legends.

Well, for all those idiots out there who think LoL copied Dota2, if anything it's the opposite.
Dota was the ORIGINAL MOBA. And I should know because my brother was a BETA tester for Dota2.

Now, what's also good about Dota2? All heroes are free. Sure, you can buy skins but that isn't necessary for gameplay and won't give you any advantage over any players. Oh, did I mention it's also free to play?

Some people don't play Dota2 because, honestly, it is more difficult that LoL. You can deny towers and creeps which adds a whole new level of gameplay to the genre of gaming we call a MOBA. So, all you noobs who think it's too hard, every game is hard at the beginning.

Tell me one reason League of Legends is better and please don't make it a crappy one.

Having played Warcraft 3 dots from the start I transitioned into hon beta and then to dota 2 which I am still playing. I've also played a handful of hours of infinite crysis and LoL. For my money dota2 is the go with a huge community, constant tournaments and updates and a reasonably good ui to boot. They all have flaws but I believe dota 2 will have the longest reign in the Mona world.

I praised Dota 2 for the beautiful graphics with the Source engine. Although it can be confusing when it comes to managing your account, it remains its Zero-sum genre and offers wide range of customization (Store) . Well too bad, it is not recommended for low-end PCs as it requires heavy resources. I played it 3 times daily.

Verdict: 8.5/10
