This is entirely devoid of any information.

Which graphics card, desktop/xorg environment? Are you running out of RAM? Anything in the logs/dmesg/journal ? Read: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855 and http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Re: my whole arch linux crashes/freezes

I have  the same symptoms like you have with my Steam - closing it always get desktop to stuck for 2-3 min before get released. But I have a workaround for that case: just press CTRL+ALT+ESC to enter to "Kill on Click"-mode and click on Steam main widow this force it to close without any lags. But I have no any problems with running Dota2
My computer configuration is Plasma5 / nVidia 760 Ti GTX / Core i7/ 16 GB RAM.

That doesn't work on every DE/WM...... The OP never gave enough info to even know if this is possible for them.
