What Is DOTA?

DOTA, DOTA mean Defences of the Ancients, it is a custom map made for Warcraft III: Frozen Throne.
DOTA is a team strategy where players can choose sides and his own hero or the host can random choose sides and 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 enemy’s 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 whilekilling 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 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).
