It's easy to understand why this game has got so much hate around it. The game is based on the lore and skills of Dota 2, a free to play game.

The free to play audience was and will never be prepared to pay for any product. The poor pinoys skipping school to play Dota can not afford to play this, just as they can not afford to buy their own computer.

This game is a real TCG but in a digital form. It means that there is a monetary aspect to buying the cards, and it comparatively is cheaper when you look at it from a market perspective and being able to buy individual cards.

Dota 2 as a game is far more complex than any other MOBA out there. It requires a kind of gamer who is willing to invest time and energy in learning the game for thousands of hours to truly master it. This game is very similar to that aspect, and so the game design philosophy hasn't changed.

Artifact fan based websites who are offering deck databases have decks you can create which are relatively top tier for less than $10, but even that is too expensive for the poor, poverty stricken and destitute pinoy fan-base of the original Dota 2 game.

At the end, my prediction is the following. The game will be a success as the poor people step aside, and this game will never be free to play since the initial cost is made up for in the card packs you recieve initially.

So my advice would be to buy the game and enjoy it as a more complex and advanced form of TCG compared to Hearthstone and others. If you're not into complexity, then stay in heartstone where the market is internalised and keep grinding.

However, if you're someone like me with a job and isn't living in a third world poverty stricken country trying to feed their families by prostituting themselves and their sisters, then this game is perfect. You pay, you get cards, you play, and you can stop whenever you like. There is no urgency in "grinding" meaninglessly in order to save $10. My time is far too valuable for that.

Be very cautious when purchasing games that require money and recieving feedback from people who can barely afford a McDonalds happy meal.

The starter doesn't work.
