All this discussion about dota (and LoL etc) boil down to one thing: you NEED to play as a team.
A lot of games involve team work, but it isn't crucial: that is you'll play better if you work as a team, but you don't need to and you can still enjoy the game if you ignore your team.
This is manifestly untrue for Dota. if you ignore your team you'll have a horrible time and so will the rest of your team.
As result this is actually an interesting social experiment: based on dota it looks like a lot of people don't like working as a team.
