DotA 2 is looking pretty good so far, but it scares me already. It's not just the fast-paced gameplay and split-second decision making of the old DotA that only scares me, but of all the people getting ready to play the game and start creating a bad community off of it right away. I noticed a pattern that most all the popular online games have the worst communities while smaller, underestimated games have a really chill community of people playing on them. It's sad, but I think a lot of people will turn away from DotA 2 because of the harsh/bad community and being scrutinized or ostracized for every little thing you do (doing bad, doing too good, having more kills than the rest of the team, having the most deaths, etc.). It makes it very difficult to enjoy the game when the community is so bad (Land of Chaos Online was like that). At the moment, there still hasn't been any conclusive evidence of DotA 2 being free-to-play when it's released. Here's hoping for a successful (and fun) game.
