To help foster a community for even the smallest of games, each Custom Game has a dedicated chat room that you can set your client to always join. You'll also find various pieces of useful information on this page, such as patch notes, videos and friend activity. If none are available, a new lobby will be created. The results serve as one of the metrics in determining if, and how often, a game is shown in the Suggested Games list.īoth new and old games, through rotations in voting queues, will always have a chance to find or regain a foothold within the community. The selection will change every 30 minutes, presenting everyone in the community with the same 15 games at any given time, making it easy for all matches to fill quickly. The Suggested Games list includes a wide variety of games that are trending upwards and receiving positive votes from players. If any of your friends are currently in an open lobby, you can quickly jump in and join them from here. We've also created features that enable players to quickly evaluate new and untested Custom Games, giving every Custom Game the opportunity to find an audience. We'd like to build an ecosystem where you can experience something new every time you launch Dota 2. These games can be anything from a grand brawl between ten Invokers, to a story-driven dungeon adventure, to something creative that no one has seen before.
