Dota 2 is a very popular role-playing multiplayer game. Player have to select one of the unique fantasy heroes for every fast paced battle, and together with team make an attempt to overcome opposing team in skill, strategy and reaction. The game is very challenging and hardcore, but quickness of matches, makes it fun to play even for casual gamers. Besides, Dota 2 features hundreds of custom mods which make this game replayable again and again.

I love playing support. I enjoy the satisfaction of feeling like even without big time stats, I greatly influenced my team to victory. Finding out abbodon was my go to character took around 6-7 weeks of testing out different heroes. And just when I thought I had found my hero in Broodmother, I found that as I moved up to more talented players an less first week players, I found that she was to easily countered. In some games, I would have put it down for a while, discouraged in the failure. But in Dota 2, I adapted. I had been given a new challenge and changed my gaming style to a laning harasser character and changed to support. I look forward to what the years will bring in this game. one thing I really love about Dota 2 is no matter how much time you put into the game, you still won't master everything Dota has because it's so complex. I stopped for a year, but got back just a week ago, and Dota can sure be pretty hard yet through practice, it becomes so fun to the point you get addicted to it. Xfire.com says for new players that want to start playing this type of genre LoL is the way to go but if you want to go in for a deeper, harder experience go for Dota 2.

Custom map named Custom Hero Chaos is very popular lately, it is a sort of fantasy battle royale, where you pick up spells and progress through pve and pvp short fights until only the winner is left. Mode has great replayability as in every game you are only limited to pick spells from a limited random pool.

It might freak you out, but I have more than 6000 hours played in Dota 2, and approximately the same amount in Dota 1. For me it feels like modern chess or something. One of the few massively multiplayer intelligence games where your pocket size doesn't affect your skills at all.
Truly a game of minds in a modern "data" world, because there is really a lot of things to keep in your head about this game to master it.
I know there are tons of mods, but they are for casuals.

Dota 2 is a beautiful game where five strangers from different time zones come together to make terrible decisions.
You will learn patience. You will learn new insults in at least three languages. You will blame lag, teammates, balance patches, and sometimes the sun.
Every match feels like chaos, every win feels like genius, and every loss was definitely not your fault.
10/10 game.
0/10 for my mental health.
Would queue again.

After 4,800 hours in Dota 2, I can confidently say this is the best game I absolutely do not recommend to anyone.
The strategy? Amazing. The gameplay? Endless depth. The community? A live psychological experiment.
I’ve met geniuses, comedians, future war criminals, and at least 12 people who apparently have intimate relationships with my mother.
10/10 game.
0/10 for mental stability.
Queueing again.

I’m writing this review instead of clicking the 'Find Match' button, which probably tells you all you need to know about the current state of my mental health. I have nearly 2,000 hours in this game, and I've somehow spent 66 of those hours in the last two weeks alone. I don’t play Dota 2 because it’s fun; I play it because it's a crippling addiction disguised as a highly complex and deeply rewarding video game.
The complexity is the main selling point and the main reason you'll hate your life. This isn't a game you can just pick up. The tutorial is basically just a gentle suggestion to prepare for a lifetime of disappointment. You'll spend your first 100 hours thinking you're getting good, your next 500 realizing you know nothing, and the following 1,400 hours trying to convince your teammates to buy a simple Town Portal Scroll. Seriously, I could write an entire thesis on the existential dread that comes with seeing a key item on the ground for 15 minutes while your carry walks past it.
Despite all the soul-crcrushing toxicity, the constant balance changes, and the feeling that every loss is personally your fault, there is no greater rush in gaming than successfully executing a complicated team-fight play, especially when you are playing a hero nobody expected to work. It’s a beautifully designed, competitive, constantly evolving monster that will steal your time, ruin your sleep schedule, and give you high blood pressure. But hey, it's free, and all 120+ heroes are available right from the start, so at least your financial advisor can't complain. Just do yourself a favor: mute all chat and try to remember to blink before you're stunned.

I installed Dota 2 thinking it was a game. It’s not. It’s a federally approved psychological warfare simulator disguised as entertainment. My first match lasted 72 emotional years. Somewhere between getting flamed for buying boots and being called a “walking ward,” I felt my hair detach from my soul and leave my scalp. By the 30-minute mark, I had gray strands, hand tremors, and a newfound respect for war veterans. My carry told me to uninstall, my support told me to die, and the enemy Sniper shot me from another dimension just to remind me I was never safe. When it was finally over, I just sat there in silence, staring into the void, wondering if I’d ever feel joy again. 11/10, would suffer again.

Game is okay. Very nice community, no cancer. ❤️
10/10 mental health simulator.
Installed for one match, accidentally spent 4,000+ hours developing trust issues. Every game is a new adventure where four strangers confidently explain why the loss is your fault before the creeps even spawn.
Would queue again.
