Is Dota 2 community active?

That should answer ur question here

The word you were looking for is Monopoly

It is very active, check Dota 2 subreddit http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/

Sure. I hope you'll like custom games that have user created content because that's gonna be the next thing in Dota 2

http://d2modd.in/lobbies Theres plenty of mods to try at the moment and it keeps growing. Theres some official ones that are shorter as well like 1v1, Ability Draft (not that much shorter)

Dota 2's community is extremely active and engaging. You might also want to try Smite. Smite is a third-person MOBA that's really fun and the community is also really active.

ded gaem. volvo fix pls

DotA 2 doesn't have a "short mode" and we certainly don't need more LoL players in DotA.I swear if I ever come across another human being, calling my Shadow Fiend "your champion" I'll buy him RP's to send him back to LoL.

Well enough jokes, DotA is A LOT harder than LoL and you have to be really active in game.It makes you get tired a lot faster, especially if you're on mid lane.If you ever start playing DotA, you better say goodbye to your social life.

We currently don't have a mode I'd call shorter... but we have some different game modes.

Thing is, just recently Valve released the tools for making custom game modes for Dota. It's still an alpha but a lot of stuff is being made already and the community is really excited. We're getting a big update in a couple of weeks, which may make the custom game modes more accessible... But maybe not... And it will take a bit more time for them to be released.

Custom game modes won't be just stuff like ARAM, an alternative map/mode for Dota. We can make pretty much anything... Even if you don't like Dota it won't imply that you won't enjoy the custom maps.

So far I've played:

• Pudge wars - kinda like Blitzcrank 5 v 5 in a custom map with powerups, new abilities...
• Warlock - A small arena with 10 heroes which try to push each other into the lava around the arena.
• Dota Dash - Some sort of Mario Kart.
• Run Kitty Run - You try to make your way through a long path full of wolves which move randomly and stun you if they touch you. Other players can save you and it's like a team based race.

Most of the stuff being done are just ports of Warcraft 3 custom maps, like tower defense modes, rpg games, etc.

So yeah, install the game, see if you like it, if not... just wait for custom stuff to come out. It's free!

It just finished a tournament with a ten-million-dollar prize pool. What do you think? :D Haha

Active like a bar on free beer Fridays.

It is very active. Also I don't think a match is shorter than LoL, but usually depends on how your team plays.

Do you even Twitch?

Dota 2 is active and toxic. There's bloody insults every match if you're retarded and/or noob. Be prepared to be attacked with sarcasm, profanity and racist remarks.

And I'm not even kidding.

no

lol > dota2

Yup, there are custom gamemodes and there's was actually released the Dota 2 Workshop Tools alpha, so you can make your own maps and mods. :P Plus, there's always volvo's own 1v1 practise mode. The match usually takes like 5 minutes, but I myself have played a 37 min match.

brace yourself, comments with LoL > Dota 2 incoming

No the Dota community is REALLY inactive, only like 2 people play it

This is probably the most noob question I've ever seen. Like asking if you can put petrol in a diesel car, or asking if you can get hurt by playing with knives.

No, DoTA 2 is totally dead. Everyone is playing Ricochet 2, get with the times.

Who plays dota anymore? Adventure time: battle party is obviously where it is at.

I friggin' love when people argue about LoL vs Dota2, let me tell you all a story then.

I have a roommate, his opinion about MOBA genre: "MOBA a shit". Every time I ran Dota he send me his opinion and usually I can't even argue, so I guess I should've played Borderlands :P (or any other game)

If it still doesn't convince you, the Dota can be both joyful and suffocating at the same time, there are games that even if you loose you cant think another thing that it was a good game and I would've liked more. But more likely it will be one sided depending on how well your team does and if through the whole game you wont get cocky bastards running around alone because they were a little bit fed in the beginning and start throwing the game -.- (or bunch of idiots that don't know what they're doing and start flaming at everybody else)
