As a LoL player
I want to learn Dota 2
So I can play any hero

Gli eroi sono gratuiti

Hai accesso ad ogni eroe gratuitamente. Puoi comprare cosmetici per migliorare l'aspetto e lo stile di un eroe, ma spendere soldi non ti avvantaggerà in alcun modo.

Non sono necessarie impostazioni pre-partita

You don't need to setup runes, masteries, or summoner spells before the match begins. Everyone starts on a level playing field and all decisions are made in game.

I ruoli su Dota sono flessibili. Il tuo ruolo potrebbe cambiare in base a quanto riesci a farmare durante la partita.

Nessun blocco di regione

Dota doesn't link player accounts to regions. This means you can play with your friends anywhere in the world. You can choose to play only on game servers in specific regions (ex. US East or US West) to reduce latency.

Attiva Statistiche

You need to opt-in see your profile and statistics on Dotabuff. Open the Dota 2 client, click the Settings cog (upper left), then the Options tab, click "Advanced Options" on the bottom and make sure "Expose Public Match Data" is checked. Scopri di più

Buy your Flash

Dota doesn't have Summoner spells like Flash. A very common item to purchase is Blink Dagger, which provides you with more mobility than Flash on a much shorter cooldown. Fewer heroes have mobility built in and instead purchase it.

No Free Recalls

There's no universal Recall spell. You can (and should) purchase a Town Portal Scroll, or buy Boots of Travel. You can Teleport to base or friendly structures, and it works while taking damage but will get interrupted if stunned.

Oggetti potenti

Dota has very powerful items like Black King Bar (BKB), which can completely transform a teamfight if used correctly. Other key items to understand include Bottle and Aghanim's Scepter. Most items have an active use and they tend to be more powerful.

Meno regole

You can destroy trees, hide on the edge of the map, and fly through terrain. A strong Hero can 1v5 an enemy team. Heroes like Rubick can steal spells from others, whereas Chen can control neutral creeps. Some Heroes allow you to control multiple units, like in Starcraft.

Giungla Diversa

There often isn't a dedicated jungler. Anyone could farm the jungle depending on the game. Creeps can tank it. Supports can stack additional jungle camps by pulling them out of the spawn point near their reset timer (every odd minute starting at 01:00). Carries can kill stacked camps for massive amounts of gold and experience.

Movimento Complesso

Movement in Dota is slightly different because turning takes time. Clicking to move or attack will cause your hero to rotate to face the cast point, then move or attack only once it's facing that direction. This will take some getting used to and adds another level of depth to gameplay. Last hitting and kiting are more difficult.

Negozi e Corriere

Dota has three places to buy items: the main shop in your base, side shops in the top and bottom lanes, and the secret shop: a place in the jungle that sells special items you can't get elsewhere. Each team can use a Animal Courier to pick up and deliver items from these shops to your hero anywhere on the map.

Altre Differenze

Instead of Baron, Dota has Roshan, who gives gold and drops Aegis of the Immortal with no team buff. Dota doesn't have a Dragon, but does have two Runes: powerful temporary buffs that spawn in the river every 2 minutes. Barracks (inhibitors) do not respawn, and only the melee one will regen health if not destroyed.
