extremely hyped up. it’s made by Valve, and lead by the legendary Icefrog, and it feels just like his previous game - Dota 2, just in shooter arena.

“It feels just like one of the biggest and longer lasting videogame ever crafted by mankind: overhyped.”

Dota 2 feels like it is more in the “small player base but among those each plays thousands of hours” group of games than in the one that has wide appeal.

It’s arguably the game that brought e-sports into a new era. Unless you think League would have ever been a thing without dota being invented.
