I very much enjoy DOTA 2 as a game, but besides the terrible community that comes with MOBAs, Valve has very clearly shown that they no longer care about the game beyond milking its declining fanbase dry. That's why no real effort is made to fix constant game coordinator errors, maintain features, or add meaningful gameplay affecting content, but yet there's a constant deluge of tacky overpriced cosmetics and contentless battle passes that expect you to shell out absurd amounts of cash for the actual rewards, which are untradable for about a year or so. Valve is not the company you used to look up to, they are not your friends, stop giving them a free pass.
