Dota 2 is one of the best games of all time. However, the Steam reviews are mixed. The game is objectively great, and there is no doubt about that. However, Dota 2 has become polarizing during its run due to the toxicity, onboarding difficulties, shifting metas, and more.

The players express their love (and hate) for the game through Steam reviews, some of which are absolutely hilarious. In this article, we shall go over seven hilarious Dota 2 Steam reviews that perfectly sum the game up.

Dota 2 player Shchenevmerlyk wrote as a review:

“After 5000 hours I realized that there were not 9 idiots in each match, but 10,”

The review perfectly sums up how a large number of Dota 2 players feel about the game, often hating their experience but pushing on with the game anyway. The reviewer having over 5000 hours in the game and recommending against the game highlights the irony further, making the review absolutely hilarious.

User ‘Dagger’ wrote this on Steam, leaving behind a negative review:

“My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 9 years old when my Grandmother said to him, ‘If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.’. He realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed my family. My Grandmother said to me- ‘Don’t ever smoke. Please don’t put your family through what your Grandfather put us through.” I agreed. At 26, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I regret for never done it, because this game gave me cancer anyway.”

The user once again sums up the attitude many Dota 2 fans hold towards the game.

User ‘big mama’ ironically recommending the game saying:

“This community is so nice I got a lot of tips on how to uninstall the game and what to do with myself.”

The review, while positive, does highlight the toxic nature of the community. This toxic nature often also deters new players from hopping onboard, which will only hurt the game in the long run. Despite the abundant toxicity, the user having over 1000 hours in the game is hilarious.

User ‘Fredda’ wrote took the funny route while reviewing:

“This game taught me about the diversity of cultures that our small little corner of the universe offers. Then it taught me to hate them all,”

The review shows the great diversity that Dota 2 sees, bringing in players from all over the world, while also highlighting the many bad apples that come with this diverse tree of cultures.

Another wisecrack, this time byuser EterNity:

“This game is the best dress up game since Hello Kitty Online Adventure.”

This hilarious review sheds light on one of the most underrated aspects of Dota 2: its customization. Dota 2 offers a plethora of skins and cosmetics, giving you the freedom to ensure your favorite Heroes look as you want them to. The game’s extensive battle pass has skins and cosmetics that cater to almost everyone.

User ‘Houdini-‘ wrote:

“10/10 Gaming experience! This game is polluted with the most unhinged people in history of gaming, you would think its simple for 5 people on each team to work towards a shared goal, but its not that simple. Interesting personalities combine in this game to give you a gaming experience like none other. If nothing else log in after a horrible long day of work to make sure that the day is worse than you thought imaginable.

However, sometimes you win, and it feels good. All in all would play again.”

The review perfectly encapsulates the team-based nature of the game, where you have to make compromises and adjust to achieve the sweet taste of victory.

Review by ‘Marlboro’ on Steam (Source: Valve)

User ‘Marlboro had a rather morbid take on the game:

“This isn’t a free game. Each match cost you a bit of your sanity until you have nothing left.”

This hilarious review highlights the mental toll of keeping up with the ever-changing meta while juggling your teammates and the enemy players. Strategies fall apart, you lose matches, and before you know it—your sanity is alongside those ranked matches. The game is as stressful as it is fun.
