Dota is not casual at all, it’s quite competitive. It’s the reason the communication is so toxic.
Couch co-op games are very nice but in my personal experience friends don’t make a habit of gathering to play them. It’s a infrequent ocasion, online gaming is much much easier. Boardgames are a cooler experience if you’re gonna have people frequently at your place.
Deep Rock Galactic and especially Helldivers 2 gave me the most positive interactions with random strangers despite lack of dedicated social hubs or lobbies.
Don’t know if I would have thought of Dota as a social game tbh. Maybe a more casual MMO?
But what about keep talking and nobody explodes, overcooked or genital jousting?

Yeah coop games are usually pretty good choices
