you people couldn't be more wrong.
at it's peak dota was the perfect online game.
valve has taken to completely carpet bombing everything that made the game good though, so i dont even play it that much anymore, but 2011-early 2016 dota was GOAT for online vidya. i hope i see gabe newell or a valve employee one day so i can knock him the fuck out for ruining it, im that triggered by the whole situation.
