Over a hundred Dota heroes are fought every day by millions of players around the world. There is always something new to discover, whether you are playing for a second time or a thousandth time. Dota 2 has taken on a life of its own with regular updates that ensure a continuous evolution of gameplay, features, and heroes.
Developed by the Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos community, Defense of the Ancients 2 (Dota 2) is the sequel to Defense of the Ancients, a mod for Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos in which two teams of five players defend and occupy several different bases each. I really like the diversity of over 100 available characters to build upon! – Donnie, Editor, GameForce.blog
Dota 2: Game Story
Every single player in Dota has a unique set of heroes, abilities, and powerful items—no two games are the same when it comes to heroes, abilities, or powerful items. Almost any hero can play multiple roles, and there is a wide selection of items to suit the game’s needs. In Dota, you are empowered to express yourself, without being limited.
