I play DotA since it was a Warcraft III custom map. The matchmaking in DotA 1 was completely random - anyone could join your room! This way it was hard to improve your skills playing. Now, past 2 years DotA 2 has been released, the matchmaking became much better (their system 'wants' you to win 50% and lose the other 50%). 90% of all I know about DotA I learned in DotA 2 - mechanics, strategies and some details.

What do I think about the game?

Pros:
-> DotA 2 have a steep, daunting learning curve. You can't just be a good DotA 2 player with 100 games.. sometimes you'll have to get tips with friends, search strategies on google and watch competitive games. This can be fun and challenging.

-> It's very fun when you play pub games with your friends and WIN the game. Otherwise.. heh

-> Although it's always the same map and objective, there's a lot of combination and strategy plays you can do ! (more than 100 heroes).

-> If you like MOBA/RTS game, when you spend a lot of time in DotA 2 and learn advanced plays you'll not stop playing. Well, I do not know if it's a good or bad thing!

Cons:
-> DotA 2 is a RTS (Real Time Strategy) 5x5 game, so it's very frustating when you play with people you do not like.

-> It does not have a good tutorial explaining all the advanced plays.. you'll have to learn by yourself or by a friend. You can search on forums too!

-> It's very difficult in the beginning, if you do not have patience and time it will be a very difficult to play this game.
