Is DOTA 2 really worth playing?

I got an invite and played DOTA 2 for a few hours, but I really couldn't figure much of it out + I didn't have much fun with it. Oh, and all the screaming 12 year olds need to die.

So, do you guys have fun playing it?
 
good question. Someone gifted it to me (think it was jonny) and I have yet to even download it. :/ Looks like an interesting game though.

Personal preference. LoL is more casual than Dota 2.

Now then, to OPs question: This game has a HUUUUUUUUUUGE learning curve. And I mean HUGE, in order for you to be effective at the game, you need to atleast play every single hero once, so you can egt an idea on what they do.

You also need to learn what every item does, how they work, and what works well with other heroes. This game also punishes you. Alot. If you die, you lose gold, if you're too slow, the enemy will deny your creeps, if you dont work together with your team, chances are you will lose.

But once you get an understanding of the game, know what to do, how to last hit, how lane setup works, how to counter pick, etc. etc. It becomes a very rewarding experience. Winning a game where you and your friends beat the enemy team in a fair match, its the greatest feeling.

Try it man, if you have the time and patience give it a go.
 
It is very slow and you have to talk to someone who knows the game more to do anything really, but winning is very satisfying...too bad it takes 40 minutes per match :rolleyes:
 
Definitely worth it, but as mentioned before it has a HUGE learning curve. Honestly, if you didn't play the original DotA in Warcraft III, it will take a long time to learn Dota 2, but definitely doable and fun. Although, if you own Warcraft III I advise playing Dota there first!

I don't, and actually I've never played WoW.
 
It's about as worthwhile playing as another MOBA out there. It's not as easy to pick up and play as LoL, and I've never played Smite or HoN to compare it to, or even the original DOTA, but I think it's probably my favorite between LoL and DOTA 2, although, like someone's said before in this thread, the learning curve is very steep.
