Originally DOTA 2 was a Warcraft 3 Frozen throne map named DOTA, defence of the ancients. The game became so popular internationally that it was remade a stand alone game labelled DOTA 2, The remake included enhanced game play, graphics and much more. where you can with friends, chat and enjoy yourself. Your heroes appearance can be modified to give the character a more stylish and custom look. The game also involves a lot of thought and multitasking which I think is great.

An amazing game. If you are looking for a cut edge moba this is the game for you, however if you are new to moba I would strongly suggest taking upon a simpler moba type of a game. This game requires reflexes, fast thinking and ofcourse a great team work skills to claim victory on the battleground.

Defense of the Ancients 2 isn't your everyday role-play game for which you turn on your PC hoping to finish the game and getting back to your everyday life. It is that game which plunges you into a world of greed where you play game after game hoping to win! It becomes a virus that causes you to influence other people to play along with you. There are many things about this game that stand out from most other MOBA games that you may (or may not) have played in the past (RTS too, but dare I mention League of Legends here). From the technical aspect, the game mechanics are far too different from other games. Each character has its own set of powers, and with a plethora of items to build, it allows an almost infinite builds possible, which is exactly what makes it an interesting game, because you never know what might happen. The only problem with such differentiation is that there exist heroes that are overpowered and some which are highly under-powered (which causes a gap between teams often). Also, the fact that almost anybody can play in Normal Matchmaking creates a disappointment, because there is always that one guy who keeps shouting "noobs" over the chat. Of course, there is no option to report the same. If only the word "noob" was censored, DotA 2 might have been better than it already is (*sigh*).

"Dota 2 is total overhaul and refinement of what was originally Blizzards iconic characters. The goal of this game is to destroy the other teams ""Ancient"" hence the original title Defence of The Ancients but when steam purchased the rights to Dota (1) they simply named it Dota 2 (no acronym) You enter a world where the interface and skill sets are very simple but never let that fool you, the learning curve in Dota 2 is very high and may take you roughly 50-60 actual games just to graduate from the ""Noob"" title. Hero variety is key in winning as each team must have a competitive composition that introduces us to roles like Tanks, Setters, Support and Carry. Matches take a minimum of 40-60 minutes and in general has 3 phases; Early game, Mid Game and Late game and depending on the hero type chosen, those said stages is where specific hero types shine most (Support heroes are very good in the early game but come late game, this is where Carries devastate the most) The in itself is very dynamic. A losing team may be able to tip the pendulum in their favor once their heroes are fully equiped and has chosen a better Carry than the other team, this type of scenario doesnt only happen in the late but more often than not every 10mins ""Clashes"" or ""Teamfights"" where all 10 players from both sides duke it out in an epic 1-2min battle that usually decides who gets to move forward or destroy the opposing teams Ancient Pros: -A staggering amount of heroes (110) -Excellent graphics -Each and every game is always a new experience Cons: - Very high learning curve - Not so creative hero names (i mean it) - The games matchmaking always teams you up with a player 500 mmr (rank) lower than you (Noobs) - Trashtalking (lol)

“Dota 2” offers fans of the original title a chance to return to the MOBA genre in familiar settings. The free-to-play title gives players full access to its roster of heroes from the start. This freedom combined with a well-made matchmaking system allows players to jump into the genre with little barriers or safety nets.

The most traditional of the current MOBA's, being the sequel to the game that kicked it all off. DOTA2 is a competitive, challenging and dynamic game. Fairly balanced, and constantly supported, DOTA2 boasts a robust system that will engage players for years to come. The community for the game is, also, one of the better ones for MOBAs, letting even solo play be more enjoyable than the competitors.

Dota 2 is one of the best MOBAs out there. With over one hundred playable heroes to choose from, each and every game you play is different. It takes a couple games to learn the ropes, but thankfully you can figure it out against bots or real people of your level. Once you get the hang of it, you will never stop playing.

After 200+ hours of gameplay I'm still not bored with this title and it was free! After two years I've only spent $10 on the optional in game purchases and that was simply because I felt Valve deserved at least some of my money. The game is very repetitive but it's so well balanced that you could play the same game mode for years...and that's exactly what I and millions of others are doing.

The reason why you go on Twitch Tv and you see DotA2 after League of Legends is because of game difficulty and concentration. Make no mistake, this is not a game that you should ignore! This is a game for gamers who respect themselves. While you are still bound to an arena, the map of DotA2 is filled with interactions and objectives for you to secure. The learning curve for this game is very steep: many heroes, long 1 hour matches and over 100 items, but mastering DotA2 means mastering MOBAs.

A friend is teaching me to play Dota, it's pretty funny but I get lost a lot. I am very used to the gameplay of League of Legends and is pretty different, I would learn to play better.

Dota2 is great , it is the best game to release stress. I love using drow because because of its strength, and damage that he does when he hits enemies.

If you ever wanted to test the limits to which you can push your mind to, this is the game for it. Calculating your opponent's every move, staying a step ahead of them and crushing them with perfect execution. The infinite wombo-combos, the crazy jukes, the right item choices and so many other elements that take a life time to master. This game will captivate your mind in so many ways that you will think about even when you are asleep.
