What is Defense of the Ancients 2(DotA 2)
Dota 2 is a massive online battle arena (MOBA genre) developed by Valve in 2011
Purpose of the game
Players are divided into two groups of five players each. The two teams start from two opposite ends of the map (southwest and northeast) at a base which contains a building called Ancient in the middle. In order for either team to win, they must destroy the opposing Ancient before losing their own. To do this, each team must destroy a series of towers called (Towers) which are placed along a path (Lanes) in each base. During the game each player gains power by completing the main objectives of the game, gaining experience points (Xp) and gold which are used to increase their level and buy powerful items giving players an advantage over their opponents. Examples of these objectives are destroying the opposing team’s towers, fighting against other players, eliminating creeps (NPCs that constantly spawn in the 3 lanes and attack the other team).
