              I dont think that it is dead but my higher mmr friends believe it is dying. I honestly disagree but i've recently heard alot of people agreeing.

                Dead game for sure, people living patch to patch on meta heroes but fun died in this game a long time ago.

                          yeah inhouses should come back other than that the games fine

                          Welt aus Eis

                            we also need to keep in mind that unfortunately our opinions as 5k+ players are kinda irrelevant in the great scheme cuz we're just 0.1% of the playerbase, the fucking 2k normies are the ones who decide if the game is dying or not

                              No. People are just way too dramatic.

                                been dead for a long time now

                                  It's not been higher, so if anything it's growing.

                                  Just look at statistics instead of asking autisitc people on a dota forum

                                            prize pools that shit on any other game's tournaments.

                                            Hell, LoL's grand-fancy-worldchampionship prizepool is shat on by smaller majors.

                                            Totally dying.

                                                Up to TI4 the game was perfect after that its just been Inbalance after Inbalance
                                                PA spamm followed by Sniper / troll spamm Storm spamm followed by Windrunner spamm followed by Huskar spamm

                                                ratting is a bit back now but was dead up till now since TI4
                                                And teampush aswell

                                                it seems like carry being carrying is back a bit too instead of the of The solo mid carrying everything.

                                                Still its a bit of patches to go to get back to the good old days where you could play varius diffrent styles and still have a 50/50 shot at winning instead of The play carrying solo mid with husk or wr (metashit) or only 5% change to win.

                                                dfdls

                                                  Dead game would be game that has no player base and no tournaments whatsoever, there is no acctual dead. Dota 2 is not even close to dead and new players are always emerging, maybe young players are not used to dead games so they think game is dead even it is not. Getting online, having 100 active friends in all mmr ranges is kinda alive. Maybe problem is on higher levels, or on pro level, but it is understandable, since not many players can achieve that level and join that club, so it seems dead specially when some of them stop playing or leave for other game.

                                                  ILLUMINATION

                                                    Personally I think it has already reached its peak at TI5 and now slowly declining

                                                    dfdls

                                                      If decline is case, we would see dota 3 coming out, not new patches. It might be normal that there is loss in interest between two TI's. Let's wait and see what happens when hype kicks in. Game slike Dota 2 that are so much releveant in e-sports and have such huge amount of money involved do not just 'die'.

                                                      plz do

                                                        ^they just introduced dota3 (=dota 2 reborn)

                                                        its dieing personally for me. i think a lot of players become frustrated by the weak ranking system and boring meta plays.

                                                        i just have to find a game, which can replace dota. mb the division, once it comes out in march. looks promising anyways.

                                                          But it is still dota2 with new interface. Sorry, didn't know it counts as new dota game. Rank system has it flaws for sure, game meta changes, some heros from top tier picks go back to mid or low, it is how it is. You can always say good bye to dota and come back whenever you like, start from 0 and find way to enjoy it, but I doubt it will die so easily.

                                                          Dune, the Desert Planet

                                                            Meta sapm has been present since forever. Nightmares of 6.57 DP and Necro still haunt me. Morph in 6.64. Zombie post rework. etc.

                                                            Livin' Real Good

                                                              Game was actually dying during reborn beta, and post reborn release due to people being unfamiliar with the main menu, hipsters complaining that the old one was better (when it's NOT, the old one was super basic, good, but too basic)(arcade mode is amazing) and all the bugs and glitches that came with reborn dropped the population, now numbers are high again.

                                                              I don't get how people can say TI 2 and 3 had more players, uh, it didn't, I didn't play back then, but the statistics are there, game has grown ALOT. Prize money for tournaments is higher, MOBAS are STILL ON THE RISE (hence why tons of moba clones are coming out like crazy) PC gaming is on the rise (Dota or counter strike usually being the first games people hear of on Steam) Also, when the International 2011 was happening, Twitch was barely being born, and the game didn't get nearly as much coverage back then as it does now. (seeing as Twitch is now main stream, and everyone has a Twitch account these days)

                                                              Many many casuals play games for the first time cause they thought it looked interesting when watching it on Twitch, Twitch has done ALOT more for gaming than people think.
                                                              Game is fine.

                                                                Looks 2 me like the game is just growing! Sure some people have given up on the game, but they should be ignored. There'll always be players passionate about dota, just as there'll be people who are shall we say less keen on the game. I normally play by myself now, as my friends have started playing less or moved away, but I still have a gr8 time every game! There are some complete dickheads but a lot of gr8 people & there always will be.
                                                                Dying or otherwise, it's a personal choice 2 play the game.

                                                                    For me very patch since TI3 has been enjoyable except for 6.85,neither me nor my friends quitting anytime soon.
