Dota 2 is a popular multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game developed and published by Valve. Released in 2013 for Windows, OS X, and Linux, it’s a sequel to the Warcraft III mod, Defense of the Ancients (DotA). In Dota 2, two teams of five players each control unique heroes with special abilities, aiming to destroy the opposing team’s Ancient, a key structure in their base.

The game’s development started in 2009 with IceFrog, the lead designer of DotA, joining Valve. It utilizes the Source 2 engine and is free-to-play, with no in-game purchases affecting gameplay. Instead, Valve supports the game through cosmetic items sold in loot boxes and a subscription service called Dota Plus. Dota 2 boasts a vibrant esports scene, highlighted by the Dota Pro Circuit tournaments and The International, an annual premier tournament with substantial crowdfunded prize pools, exceeding $40 million.

The game’s steep learning curve and complexity have been criticized, but it is widely praised for its rewarding gameplay and loyalty to its predecessor. With millions of concurrent players, Dota 2 is among the most played games on Steam, leading to merchandise, an anime series, and even machine learning experiments, where bots known as the OpenAI Five demonstrated the ability to defeat professional players. Valve also released spinoff games, Artifact and Dota Underlords.

Dota 2 Gameplay

Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game where two teams of five players each battle to destroy the opposing team’s “Ancient,” a crucial structure in their base. Players control unique characters called “heroes,” choosing from a pool of 124 with diverse abilities and roles. The two main roles are “cores” (carries) and “supports.” Cores start weak but become powerful later, aiming to lead their team to victory. Supports focus on assisting their cores with healing and utility.

Before a match, players go through a drafting phase, selecting heroes strategically. Heroes level up during the game, gaining new abilities and improving existing ones, including a powerful “ultimate” ability. Using abilities consumes mana, which slowly regenerates, and has cooldowns to prevent overuse.

Teams, Radiant and Dire, occupy fortified bases on opposite sides of the map, connected by three paths called “lanes.” Defensive towers guard these lanes, attacking enemies. Computer-controlled creatures called “creeps” follow the lanes, attacking opponents. Neutral creeps in the jungle, between lanes, can be defeated for gold and experience.

The game features a day-night cycle affecting gameplay, and powerful neutral creeps like Roshan provide special items. Players can buy items at shops using gold obtained from killing enemies and creeps. Last-hitting creeps or denying allied units affects gold distribution.

Dota 2 includes various game modes, like “All Pick,” “Captain’s Mode” for professional play, and special events. Matches last around 30 minutes to an hour, with occasional unique game modes. The move to the Source 2 engine introduced the “Arcade” feature, allowing community-created game modes, like the popular “Dota Auto Chess.” This innovative gameplay has contributed to Dota 2’s enduring popularity in the gaming community.
