what is dota game ? by Kingaadi 2013/01/10 18:05
DOTA, short for
Defense of the
Ancients, is a custom
map made for
Warcraft III: Frozen
Throne. DOTA is a
team strategy
where players can
choose sides and his
own hero. There are
two sides on the
games, Sentinel and
Scourge. Players on
the same side fight
the other players on
the opposing side to
win the game. The
objective of the
games is to destroy
the opponents’ base
together with AI
controlled units called
creeps. Heroes start
at level 1 and levels
up to level 25. Heroes
level up during the
game while killing
opposing heroes and
creeps. Heroes gain
skill when they gain
additional levels.
DOTA can be played
as starting 1v1 up to
5v5. This could be
against human
players or AI
controlled heroes
which can be played
on DOTA AI maps.
DOTA was originally
developed by a
mapmaker named
Eul. There were
different DOTA
variations that time.
The most popular
one is DOTA All Stars
which was developed
by Guinsoo. When
Guinsoo retired,
IceFrog took over as
the main
programmer for the
map.
DOTA is more on
strategy than
individual play. Even
though players have
their own heroes, it
is their teamwork
that is very
important to winning
the game. Although
factors like individual
skills also matter, a
very good player with
team mates that
doesn’t care a lot
about the team can’t
just win by himself
against all his
opponents(unless of
course he’s far too
good and his
opponents are new
to the game).
This blog will be
about DOTA all stars
and the different
strategies to win the
game. All will be
discussed here from
individual strategies
to team strategies…
best items for
individual hero to
best items for the
same hero but this
time for teamplay…
different roles of
each heroes in a
team like who is the
mvp type hero or the
support hero… the
different team
lineups with their
own unique combo or
counter lineups for
another lineup… well,
just anything that I
can share and think
of. :)
I’m also open for
comments and
suggestions so feel
