Dota 2
Dota 2 is a popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game released by Valve in 2013. It is the sequel to the “Defense of the Ancients” (DotA) mod for “Warcraft III”. The game involves two teams of five players each defending their base on the map. Each player controls a powerful character, called a “Hero”, with unique abilities. The goal is to defeat the opposing team’s heroes by collecting experience points and items during the match.
The winning team is the first to destroy the “Ancient”, a vital building in the opponent’s base. Dota 2 is free-to-play, and Valve supports it through in-game purchases (such as loot boxes) and a subscription system called Dota Plus (which provides cosmetics). The game is known for its esports scene, with global tournaments like The International featuring generous prize pools.
Despite its complexity, Dota 2 has been critically acclaimed for its gameplay and has become one of the most played games on Steam, spawning various merchandise and adaptations such as comic books and anime series. Valve has released spin-off games Artifact and Dota Underlords, and Dota 2 has been used for machine learning experiments, demonstrating its versatility.

dota game
Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game in which two teams of five players aim to destroy each other’s “ancient” while defending their own. Players control heroes with unique abilities and select them during the pre-game draft phase. The game involves farming, gaining experience, and upgrading your heroes. Cores, also known as carries, become more powerful over time, while supports focus on assisting their team.
The map is divided into lanes, guarded by defensive towers, with neutral minions and a powerful boss named Roshan. Runes and items purchased with gold earned through various actions enhance the hero’s abilities. The game has different modes, and matches usually last about 30 minutes to an hour. Dota 2 supports community-created game modes and hosts special events that introduce alternative game rules. Valve also released Dota Underlords, an auto-battle game, as a standalone game.
