Dota 2 Review (Defectum)
I've hardly ever played or tried the game, but recently I thought it may be fun to give it a shot.
This game is pure unadulterated dog shit, it's a terrible new player experience, coated with an over-abundance of gimmicky abilities and crowd control. It's like if you let a group of 12 year old's develop a competitive MOBA title.
The extreme level of different abilities and vast power-spikes can turn a fun and engaging early game experience into a god awful immune to literally everything Slark one-shotting your entire team EVEN if they're fed.
DOTA just simply does not hold up with the level of competitive integrity that other similar titles offer. The overpowered, overloaded, over-the-top skills quickly get old as you're constantly left scratching your head after the 5th team of people that all speak different languages after waiting 40 minutes to finally get a good match where someone doesn't abandon and waste all your time.
The game is not salvageable it will die. Inevitably. In the very least at least some small places in the world will keep the player count around 200k~ for a while, though once all the old folks get tired of it.. That's it.
R.I.P DOTA
I gave it a shot, it's just not worth the stress LMAO
