Ironically, from what I understand (haven’t done direct comparisons myself), a lot of games written for windows run just as well or better on linux.
DOTA 2 is just noteworthy to me because it’s an exception to the “other than competitive games” exception. And while I can’t say for sure that no one is hacking on there, I have yet to see any blatant cases of it (though admittedly it might be difficult to tell in a game where it’s normal for some players to snowball significantly over others).

Yes, Wine/Proton translates DirectX calls to Vulkan calls, and Vulkan is so efficient that native Windows games sometimes run better on Linux than they do on Windows.
Though on that note, I started playing a lot of DOTA 2 on linux without issue.
It is native on Linux, just like most of Valve’s catalog, so it should run as well as running a Windows game on Windows.
Some games run worse natively on Linux, because they fall back to some badly optimized OpenGL renderer.

I’m deeply sorry for your loss.
