                No, Dota 2 exhibits all the patterns of a dying game.
                For now it's player base is peaking, but there's a steep slope ahead. If the vast majority of its players complain about the game, it is always a matter of time. Just so you know, 5-6 years ago 90% of the players rating the game rated it 9-10 out of 10. Last year it shifted to the below 7 territory. This year it's peaking at 4.
                This means that on metacritic user rate it went from 9.0 (3000 votes) to 6.5 (10000 votes) in the past years.
                The game _is_ dying. If something drastic doesn't happen we might not be able to discuss it anymore next year this time around.

                  You know the meta critic score is from half life 3 right. also legendary games like fallout new vegas got shut down from devs because of short meta critic scores so fuck meta critic. Also its a competitive game have you looked at any steam forum? people will bitch about the most stupid stuff. it is a hard pill to swallow but most people who play the same games as you do are brain dead. it might slope a bit when all the casuals leave and whiny "veterans" the core playerbase will stay. hate to talk about it but games alot of people think are shitty like hearthstone and league of legends are still going strong so complaints dont seem to matter when most people who play dont bother to speak their word. its called the silent majority my friend.

                    "hate to talk about it but games alot of people think are shitty like hearthstone and league of legends are still going strong so complaints dont seem to matter"

                    LoL and Hearthstone (and anything I can think of, really, including CS:GO and even CoD) core playerbase would without a second thought say their game is awesome. In D2 even those who still really love to play it say that objectively the game is getting shitty, and the developers' ways are near intolerable.

                      yorgaSh, you're really wrong, buddy. Both HS and LoL players will bitch about the balance, LoL players will bitch about the community.

                      LoL actually shares a lot of same problems with DotA, not all of them of course, but instead of them he has new problems. There ARE people leaving LoL because "it became less fun", even though it became more balanced and all of that. There ARE trolls, feeders, flamers, cheaters - it is a problem of a genre, not a game.

                      I would just say, that the genre, that is designed for a 5-man parties suddenly became the most popular genre in the world for those, who has no friends at all. This is the core of a problem, not DotA neither LoL neither anything becoming bad.

                        U all think the game is dying ?LOL.
                        Just wait till odfrog gives the next patch. We all just bored of this patch. I don't think the game is dying anytime soon.

                            I dont think dota is dying, its just more interesting games are coming out like pubg and alot of those cancer players are quitting dota and i actually get more better teamates nowadays, but ofcourse some good players also get carried away by other games.

                              !ReportCommendBeggersLetT...

                                Its not so much about mmr system and how it works. I think. Its more about people buying accounts and getting boosted. This is the number one reason mmr is broken in my opinion.
