I ask because I'm looking to get Dota 2, but I don't want to pay more than the upfront cost through micro-transactions in-game.
Is the game fully released yet? Is it possible to get for free?

Best Answer
The game is entirely free of cost to download and play. The only costs you'll pay (if you want to) are for content that does not even debatably give you an advantage in-game, such as cosmetic items, pennants to support your favorite team, or tickets to watch tournaments in-game.
