I have dota plus. It doesn't give you any advantage on the current game. It merely lets you learn more about the current meta on the long run, faster than keeping up with all youtubers. Even pick stats and suggestions will not make you win more. It just teaches you. Teaching is not unfair in my book, and worth money so I find it a very well balanced paid feature. I played LOL before, and their rune and pick system is definitely pay to win. All in all, given the size of dota, I'm actually amazed that so much of it is free. I played it years before spending a cent, and wondered how they could be sustainable.
