Dota 2 is an amazing free-to-play MOBA game with fascinating lore, fun hero abilities and various item mechanics to learn. Although the frequently toxic community and the painfully steep learning curve initially frustrated me, the experience of discovering new tactics and mastering new heroes in my first 1000 hours of playing the game with friends, was immensely enjoyable and outweighs the aforementioned toxicities.

Consistent updates adding/reworking new heroes, abilities or in-game mechanics as well as the beautiful cosmetics, new terrains, music packs and announcer packs makes this 5 year old game shine, even to this day. These updates encourage players to adapt to the current meta and master even more heroes, as well as to get to know currently effective strategies or skills and coordinate with the team for GG victory. In one update, you might be really powerful and play god tiers at one hero only to have it nerfed into oblivion in the next patch rendering it useless.

(tl;dr) Dota 2 is worth picking up and learning if you have the time commitment and willingness to do so. You have not truly lived until you have experienced the chaos that is this game..

9/10


P.S: SEA Servers are a cesspool of cancerous and salty players. like myself :)

Good Luck, Have Fun
