I reinstalled DOTA 2 a few days ago hoping it had gotten better, because the base game is actually quite fun. But the only way to play the game is with a team, the developers have allowed people who don't speak the same language to play together on teams in a game where communication is paramount. This isn't a hard problem to fix, they are either lazy or the simply don't care. The incompetence demonstrated by the developers in this regard is so egregious that 95% of games are unplayable, each game a lesson in frustration and a waste of time. Do not play this game, there is no joy to be had here.
