I've been playing Dota for nearly 2000 hours now, so i think it's about time i finally give some sort of opinion on it. If you are interested in picking up a game that's easy to learn but a lot harder to master then this is definitely the game for you however you will get addicted to it so much so that nearly 2000 hours later you wonder what the ♥♥♥♥ you just did with your life. I only recently started played ranked games and i really should've started playing it sooner because most of the time everyone is so much friendlier and better at team plays, sure if you don't want to be serious and just play pub then by all means do so but most pubs tend to go something like:

Pick US server
Someone nearly doesn't load in
As soon as picking starts someone disconnects and takes about 10 mins to reconnect
Russians tell you to speak Russian
Someone says mid or feed
The team does ♥♥♥♥, the russians tells you he slept with your mum and complains about his ping (No ♥♥♥♥)
A player starts courier feeding
Whoever picked PA, Riki, Ursa or Huskar wins because thanks for the nerf Gaben

All in all if you want to have fun play on pubs and spend more time learning russian then actually playing but ranked is generally much better if you want to take the game seriously however avoid captains mode unless you have a 5 stack because if some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ gets captain you are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ screwed.

Dota 2 5/7 would ♥♥♥♥ again.

update: it's still exactly the same
