Dota 2, developed in 2009, is a free to play, multiplayer online battle arena game by Valve. The game is played by two teams of 5 players. The object of the game is to destroy the “ancient” structure within the opposing team’s base camp. You play as a “hero”, a character you control, with various powers and abilities. The game will feel familiar to Warcraft players, as most of the heroes have originated from there.
During the game, the player collects items and builds experience points to attempt to defeat the heroes from the opposite team, then destroying the opponents ancient.
