Why only 1 map?
Well, it's like soccer or any other sport for that matter, it's mostly about keeping the balance (hero balance) and trying to only factor in skill of the player/team as much as possible..
Balancing over a 100 heroes is hard as it is, add 1 more competitive map and the balancing story is lost.
But, I wouldnt mind if Valve would add a 10vs10 non-competitive map, it would be crazy fun.

It's ALL about not dying and i think that's a bit of the reason i don't like it, because i both like and dislike the core gameplay.
And what the heck is up with 1 single map? I know it's a popular map, but give me a break. |
In actual, live, competitive play players aren't chicken shits. It's the competitive element that makes it fun for most people; the fact that you and your buddies (hopefully  ) have to work together tightly to kick the other team's ass. It's the same reason CS got so big. The game itself has a very simple (but well executed) concept, looks good enough - the competition is what makes it so popular. Combine that with the fact that there's a tons of heroes and items you actually need to know (not even to be able to play them, but to counter them), it keeps the game interesting.
Plus when you're actually playing 5v5 in a proper matchup, the battles will be insanely hectic. Thanks to the fast pace, it'll give you the same rush you'd get in a shooter in tight situations for example. That's also why I hate LoL; same principle underneath, but it's so excruciatingly slow compared to DotA  |

Seriously, I love Valve so bad, when they do take a decision it's most of the time always the clever one.
For those who don't know, a website which aggregates ingame stats, DotaBuff, announced a public and visible MMR rating homemade system. Well, their idea just cost them most of website as a whole.

Lol, that's a nice one. Russian players can be such dickheads sometimes. Do at least one thing they don't like and you're never gonna hear the end of those colourful russian expletives for the entire match.

Well honestly, if they treat Russians as Europeans in Dota2, then we Europeans want same prices as them aswell if we have to share digital space with them

Still ways off, though, I think.
