I don't want to get in to this but I can't help myself. I'm not even sure where to start and how to be coherent with this so forgive me if it's a bit sloppy.
First things first: Communities in free games aren't worth the sweat on your ass. To be clear, they used to be worth something, but ever since about 2007 or 2009, the internet became plagued with groveling retards, shitskins, dumb little kids, and everything in between. This is one of the key reasons why free MMO's ever since then have died, most notably Runescape (Some may argue Runescape died because of poor management as well which is true, but the community was also a large part of it's downfall, I wager)
Let me elaborate on why the community ruins free games. Let's take a more modern-day example of a free game: TF2, DOTA 2, Fortnite, League of Legends, whatever. Having your game be free to play - regardless if it has P2W elements or not - is a death sentence because F2P attracts the worst kind of people, namely third-world shitheads from Brazil, Russia, and China - the latter being the most prevalent offenders.
You can't have a community with these freeloading retards, seriously. Anyone (with sanity, fair skin, and a sense of morality) can tell you that these are the worst people to play with and that you can practically smell them from your computer. These are the types that cheat, scam, and cheese most often, ruining the fun that others may have. Usually, they pay little mind to the social aspect of MMOs and multiplayer games, all others players be damned. You wouldn't enjoy a comfy chat with any of these people, anon. They either wouldn't even bother responding to you, or if they did, they'd speak in their monkey language or botch whatever language you speak. Shitskins and third-worlders aren't the only problem with communities - it's also the furfags, redditors, and children. These people either don't know how to play, or they just play horribly and fuck up your game on purpose and then tell you to calm down for being a 'tryhard' if you dare attempt to play the game the way it was meant to be played. Even WoW suffered a fate worse than death past 2007. Again, the devs were partly to blame for this as well, but that was when a lot of new players came in and a lot more old players left. 2007 was about the time when Reddit began growing in size and shitting up the internet along with the kids.
Anyway, excuse my rambling rant, but the conclusion to take away from all of this is that internet communities in multiplayer games these days are absolute shit, with the only exceptions (at least the ones I am aware of) are the communities for difficult or obscure games. The Touhou community managed to be pretty cool, but recently it has gone down the shitter ever since normalfags became aware of it (thanks steam). Dwarf Fort and SS13 are still pretty chill, though. I haven't played Worlds for a few years but I wonder if they are still cool.

Dota players only care about dota. Dota players don't play other dota clones (and neither do league players, LoL players only care about LoL, hence why every dota clone dies, the devs trying to cash in fail to understand these people like the games they play, not the whole genre), and they absolutely don't care about other games in other genres. Announcing this during a dota event was a huge mistake, I can't believe Valve failed to read their audience this poorly.

Well, I believe this will be a 1v1 game, with a ladder too, so the combination of ladder + different servers for different regions might make it possible for you to find a lot of decent people at higher rankings, and you won't get fucked by shitty team mates.
But you are absolutely right about everything in your post, I'm brazilian and I saw this phenomenon you describe happen from the inside, I saw the BR internet userbase grow and it was terrible. Older BR people who have been around since before 2007 also hate these new users, we even have a pejorative term to describe them.

Very neatly put. In addition, this was presented the teaser at The International 7 and got this Day9 (hearthstone streamer) guy as the host hoping he'd bring some of the HS audience. But as you said, most dota players will not care UNLESS there's some direct benefit involving core Dota such as getting cosmetic items.

I don't know how modern dota players are but if even a part of the old dota 1 playerbase is around then not even that would be enough to make them play other games. A lot of those people seriously only care about dota, maybe they'll get a bunch of hat whores to play their card game but I believe there's a substantial number of dota players who won't do it even for hats, unless it's super fast to do, or they can bot for it.

But no, it's all uma delicia shit for these fucks. Oh and if you say shit in spanish (which is close enough to portuguese to get a general idea across) they'll just flat out ignore you. There is a reason spics fucking DREAD BRs. They just stick to each other. This is why if you go into an american server and count the spics, chances are that most of them are a combination of mexicans, argentinians and chileans, because those are the countries that are at least capable of producing people that can interact with other cultures outside of their fucking coca farm.
I remember when I was a kid and some shitty football commercial would play that basically went "ooh brazillians are so cool joga bonito (play beautifully)". I fucking hated it. The fucking arrogance. They sure joga bonito, considering they have dystopia tier slums that have to be policed by the military and can't seem to hold on to a president for three hours.

Also don't be acting all high and mighty because you're chilean, brazilians and peruvians are bottom of the barrel people to play with, but other than that all other countries in latin america produce trash people who can't behave online and are as bad as the little american shits you'd find on xbox live.

But i'll be honest the wall of text perfectly encapsulates the problem of widespread appeal. Usually you'll only have a tiny minority of unbearable idiots (just like in real life), you'd usually ignore and scorn them. But as we have known what does the internet has done, the problem only magnified itself to the extent that it has manifested into a massive malignant tumor that will discourage yourself from associating with a certain group.
However, its important that as a real human bean, you could choose what you consume and fraternize with by your own will. DON'T let other people subvert your views, always look for different angles, yadda yadda truth, yadda yadda you have a goddamn conscience FUCKING USE IT. Therefore by isolating the tumor and preventing it from intrude your enjoyment (atleast until to the point that it becomes overbearing that it's not worth it) you'll be able to (hopefully) have a close circle of friends or shitheads to play around with
