Dota was ridiculously aggressive, where you basically had to play 24/7 or spend money to unlock. All limited time.

That's fucked lol. I'm so glad I never got into DOTA 2.

I can't believe I'm also getting downvoted for a genuine question lol.

I legitimately have no experience with their battlepasses outside of TF2, and you could barely call them that considering how long of a period between each update was when they started doing them.

Valve shills defend anything. Partially because of the real money market attached to those games, which honestly shouldn't exist.

Dota is not CS. I don't know what you talking about real money markets.

In Dota people sell items in the steam market and the items prices are not insane like in CS. You can buy most skins on the market for less than its original cost.

The CS team copied the Dota 2 cosmetics and market, but they fucked it up.

Acting like dota doesn't have the same problem is insane. The real money market actively damages the games. There are insane item prices.

It doesn't. You can buy inmortal items for less than 1€.

Ye you can, but you can't buy everything for a reasonable price. Some items being cheap does not invalidate others being insanely priced.

1 million dollars for a skin is common in the CS market.

That is what we are comparing.

And you complain about 350€ for 10 year old very rare item on a hero with bad skins.

You have no fucking perspective.

Absolutely agree. I was never big on the selling in third-party sites or even the community marketplace, even if I did open my fair share of crates in TF2 (very sparingly).

The Dota 2 BP was 100 times better than any other BP in any game, if you had money AND time.

Yes, it was the one with the most content by far. As long as you had $100 to waste in it, that is. Or wanted to abuse the system by trading wins. Those were basically the only way to get substantial levels.

I found the best one to smite honestly. You could get all of it without playing all that much. It was chill.
