Regarding the gameplay, Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena video game where two teams each having five players competes to collectively destroy and conquer a large structure defended by the Ancients. As is the case in Defense of the Ancients, the above game is controlled using classical real-time strategy controls, which are presented on a single map in a 3D isometric perspective.

Indeed, each of the ten players controls one of the game’s 120 playable characters or heroes. Just like many MOBA games, each hero has its benefits, design, and weakness. Besides that, heroes in the game are divided into two primary roles, commonly referred to as Support and Carry.

Supports lack abilities required to deal with massive damage, but they have the utilities and functionalities that provide assistance for their Carries.

In addition to having abilities and features that become stronger during the game, gamers can buy other items that offer their unique skills. However, it should be noted these items are not limited to specific heroes; anyone can buy it. To obtain an item, players are required to buy it with gold, which is obtained primarily by killing opponent heroes, killing creeps, and destroying enemy structures.
