I’m a veteran player who played way back in beta testing where Wraith king was still called skeleton king and also played DOTA 2 1 prior to DOTA 2(I miss my Garena days). Most of the players I’ve played with are also veterans, I don’t think DOTA is dying cause there are a lot of players still playing the game and also the meta changes are good every patch(no it isn’t). What do you think does Valve need to do to invite young people to the pro scene, increase it’s younger players and invite them to play the game aside from advertising?
At this point, you really can’t ignore marketing.
