This is the best game in the world and it's so overwhelming that I don't even know where to start.

Gameplay 10/10:
Firstly, there are 115 heroes in Dota 2 where each team picks 5. This means two teams consisting of 5 different heroes will be playing against each other. Not only are there so many heroes with each unique abilities, but there are also 100+ items in the shop you can eqiup to make your hero stronger. This creates an insanely complex match every single time you play Dota 2. You never want to pick the same hero and same items versus every composition(unless you Meepo smurf). This huge diversity in heroes and items makes Dota 2 replayability endless and once you get hooked, you never go back. A person asked me recently to name my top 5 games. All I could say was: Dota 2, Dota 2, Dota 2, Dota 2 and Dota 2. It's like the saying: Once you go black, you never go back. The same applies to Dota 2.

Community 10/10:
Dota 2 has the most diverse community I have ever seen in any game. I have played on all regions and no matter what region you are from, you wil without a doubt learn a new language and culture after one year of Dota 2. If you play on Europe servers, you will learn Russian and the Putin lifestyle. If you play on South East Asia, you will learn Tagalog and the Philippines culture. If you are from North America you will learn Spanish and of the the Peruvian culture. . I am personally from Europe and after playing Dota 2 I have learned fluent Russian and gained huge insight in the Russian culture. This is something that I can use for the rest of my life and in the future travelling to Russia, I now have all the vocabulary needed to form advanced conversation with every native speaker.

Attitude 10/10:
Dota 2 has a very special attitude that can almost be classified as a separate language. This attitude is the main reason so many people fail to see the beauty in Dota 2 and why it is the best game in the world. In Dota 2 you will be called, trash, ♥♥♥♥♥, ♥♥♥♥♥ and countless other abusive words. But remember these words are simply the Dota 2 way of communicating with each other. When someone tells you to go kill yourself for picking techies, it can be translated into: I really dislike you picking Techies and I wished you picked something else. You might be frightened by this behavior at first, but from personal experience, you simply have to embrace and use it yourself. When someone tells you they are having sex with your mother, it is not meant in any harmful way, but simply a player trying to use the Dota 2 communication attitude.

Final words:
Had a rough day? Maybe your boss yelled at you at work? Maybe your girlfriend broke up with you? Did your wife leave you? Worry no longer friend, Just play some Dota 2 and cheer up. The best game to relax your mind after a rough day in the real world.
