The question of what "Dota" is, today is very relevant. Probably, few people did not hear about such a computer game as "Dota". Advertising, oddly enough, not so much. But without it, everyone has these letters on hearing. Let's look at what "Dota" is.

First of all, we are talking about a computer game with a focus on the game with real rivals (that is, on the network). In English, it sounds like Dota - Defense of the Ancients, and in Russian - pretty funny - "the defense of the ancients." Consider the essence of the game. There are two teams of five players in each (can play both living people and a computer). The task of each team is to defend its sanctuary and try to destroy the enemy.

The first time the light saw this game in the form of an amateur addition to Warcraft 3. To be accurate, it was not even an addition, but rather a map with the aforementioned scenario. However, the players so happily took this card that they soon began to publishes to it, which corrected the balance of the forces, brought innovations and new heroes. Already few will remember how many of them were at the very beginning. After all, almost once a month or even more often appeared new and new versions of "Dotes".

Today, almost the whole world is absorbed by the official second part of the game called "Dota-2".

This is not a separate card or addition. Dota-2 is a full-fledged independent game with a new graphic and interface, graphics and other charms in the form of a new type of heroes, animations and so on. What is "Dota" today? She is the same as she was at the very beginning. After all, the idea remains the same: it is good in which every person can hone the skills of working in a team, coordination, reaction. This is a beautiful world in which you can plunge after a hard working day. The creators of the second part of the game - Valve, approached the creation of the game very competently and to remove the monotony, introduced seasonal events that transform the game to a new genre. For example, under new Year Players can protect the throne of the icy king from the upcoming waves of demons and anything of unclean.

At the beginning of each match (or events), players need to choose a hero. For this, today in the game there are already about 112 heroes and in the near future it may be even more - after all, the update "Dota-2" occurs almost once a few days. The card on which the battle itself occurs is quite simple and understandable. From each sanctuary to meet each other through the forest, three trails were held: the top (on the playing jargon sounds like top-line), the middle (mid-line), the lower (Bot-Line). Every 30 seconds on these paths produced a small detachment of troops, which is controlled by a computer. They are called "Creeps" or "Creeps". They led the same purpose as the heroes. So each team throughout the game is also found with the Crims of Allies, and with enemy. In addition, there are neutral crimes on the map. Any murder, whether it is an enemy hero, a crip or neutral (neutral crying), gives valuable experience and gold. First we spend on learning new abilities that will help in battles, and for the second we buy powerful weapons And artifacts. And for each hero, not all artifacts are valued, but only those that are suitable for its class.

"Dota" is a game in which there are three classes of heroes: strong and mighty warriors, deft and huge killers, wise and dangerous magicians. And they have the priority of indicators respectively: for the first - power; For the second - dexterity; For third - intelligence. Most often, warriors are the heroes of the melee, dextering can beat both near, and from the distance, and the wizards use spells to get rid of opponents at a distance. Although everywhere there are rare, but valuable exceptions. Artifacts and weapons for each classes give their pleasant bonuses. Swords, hammers, armor and amulets give warriors a valuable health and increase their strength to strike. Blines, Luke and Fetish gives extexes more abilities to evade the strikes of the enemy and apply deadly wounds. Magic raincoats, Rune Stones and Sources increase the power of the sorceress spells, allowing them to apply a huge damage.

Although there are exceptions: some heroes can be collected not at all the artifacts that correspond to their class. This is due to the specifics of the hero itself or, on the contrary, the types of enemy heroes. For example, if there are many sorcerers in the enemy team, it makes sense to acquire a raincoat absorbing a portion of the magical damage. Much weapons and artifacts are able to fold into even more deadly combinations and make heroes with almost non-stained victory machines. But whatever mythical amulets erase the hero, they are far from they decide the outcome of the game.

What is all described above. But the most important thing is the skill of the game in the team. Of course, there is a super-pro guys who alone can pull their fraction to victory. But a joint game is much more pleasant. Teamwork, tactics, reaction, adequacy - all these are the main criteria for victory when you play with real people in one direction. Without them, players, no matter how cool they are, nothing good will do together. The victory depends on the clear work of all units of the team. Many say that "Dota" is a chateler of foul language, the abyss, in which the time breaks, and the source but let's look at it in an adult. Today everywhere there is addiction, foul language and spending time. The state of our children and our own depends precisely from how we bring ourselves and them, which will give the values \u200b\u200band concepts of ethics and morality.

This game has a very unusual gameplay, even an experienced gamer is difficult to explain what kind of genre at Dota 2. Wikipedia says that this is the MOBA game, translates as a multiplayer isna for battles. A very extensive term, such an impression that when he was invented, they looked at this game from a bird's eye view. Such words can be described by any multiplayer game with elements of a military confrontation.

"Well, there you need to run the hero and kill crips." The most used phrase for the story of Dota.

What should I do in Dota 2?

The curtain of the saming of Dota will not be opened if you say that this is a game of Moba genre. You need to explain more specifically. In the game you need to control the hero, it is chosen before the match. Total heroes are more than a hundred, they are sometimes added, so it is impossible to say the exact number, otherwise this material will soon become not relevant. In different modes of the game, the selection of heroes selection is different, for example, in an ordinary game, everyone can choose at the same time, and in the rating match, the teams are chosen in turn. In total, 10 people can play on one map, 5 for each side.

As for the card, it does not change, as in chess. By the way, this game can only be compared with chess, as the heroes do not change, and the battlefield remains the same, but people have been playing Dot for many years and everything in it can be invented and do something special. You can play this game for free, for money you can buy only external changes, voice acting, type of game panel, clothes hero, boot screens, cursors, music in the game and so on. All this does not affect game processSo, the investing money in the game on the battlefield does not have the advantages over the usual player.

Briefly the essence of the game is to collect the necessary artifacts and a set of levels that begin every time at the beginning of the match. Who collects the artifacts faster and dials the level, he dominates on the map. However, the choice of heroes, the style of the game, tactics and much more is of great importance. It happens that the richer and fascinated team loses due to the lack of interaction.

First look at Dota 2

Among the many diverse modes it was decided to choose to describe 2 "All Pick" and "Limited Hero", the first is classic, all heroes are available in it, the second for beginners, with a limited choice, only the simplest. The first battle in Limited Hiro was finished crying, as players do not punish the way out of battle, as soon as our team began to defeat, the opponents immediately left the game. In this mode, there is no fine when you leave the match. No interest, you can just learn how to finish crips.

"Creep" - in Dota 2 so called ordinary units, they are mobs, essentially with artificial intelligence.

In the first battle you need to look good, before picing the hero. There are those on which you need to play many times to learn to fully use them.

"Peak" - this means choosing a hero or the composition of the heroes in the team.

After passing training, you can understand some useful things. For example:

• gold give only if you finish a hero or crip;
• experience dripping does not depend on your actions, you only need to stand next to the murder;
• at the beginning of the game you need to go on line to get the level and some gold to the initial artifacts;
• only some heroes do not need pharmacy, most often, these are a support, they are satisfied with those gold, which is added every second;
• some heroes need a lot of pharmacy, they are effective at the end of the battle, and others are dangerous at the beginning of the game, but they lose their relevance by the end.

"Line" is one of the three roads on the map, which goes crips.

"Farm" - a common term in games, indicates the earnings of money, in Dota 2 this process is to achieve crips.

Classes of heroes in Dota 2

In the game, the heroes are divided into their classes, one hero, can relate immediately to several. It depends on the set of abilities at the hero, which are mainly 4, but it happens more. They are passive, active and switchable. Passive abilities work constantly, without requiring player intervention, active keystrokes, and the switchable can be switched by choosing the desired position. Roles or classes of heroes in Dota 2 total 10:

Kerry (Carry)

They are strong at the end of the game, they need many artifacts, gold, high level. In the late game they ridge the team. However, at the beginning of the games they are weak and simply kill them, such heroes need to be protected.

Disapeler (Disabler)

Such heroes can output one or more opponents for a few seconds. This is a very important class of heroes, since the goal can be quickly killed if she cannot move and attack.

Line Support, Nyanka (Line Support)

This class of characters is needed in order to protect the union, until they nafarmey the necessary artifacts and raise a high level. Nanny can treat or impose buffs on allies, increasing their efficiency or survival in battle.

"Buff" - positive effect on the hero.
"Debuff" - a negative effect.

Initiator (Initiator)

Representatives of this class can break into the crowd of enemies, thereby provoking the fight. As a rule, they, bursting, can either stun everyone around or apply a mass damage.

Lesnik (Jungler)

In addition to Launov, the crips are coming on the map on the map there are 2 forests on each side appropriately, there are crimes there, they are more powerful than ordinary, ordinary heroes will not cope with them to a certain level. But the heroes of Lesteners can farm the forest from the first levels at the expense of their abilities. Such heroes can usually call on beings so that those received damage and beat them or tame already standing forests with the same purpose. There are also those that possess the ability of vampirism, they are treated at the expense of their attack, it helps to kill strong crips.

Sapport (Support)

This class is designed to be in the shade and help his team. They have auxiliary ability, supports practically do not need items, so they should be discharged on courier, warrada and other similar items.

"Courier" - the animal, which carries the artifacts of the heroes from the stores, on the map 3 on each side. Helps to save time, bought at the beginning of the game as a hiking, but on the third minute can be improved to flying. After improvement, it can fly through obstacles and has a greater speed.

"Warda" - they are put on the map, highlighting a certain area around. We need to keep track of the movement of the enemy, the time of their life is 8 minutes. There is also blue warrades, they discover invisible, they stand on a map of 4 min.

Tanks (Durable)

It is intuitive that these heroes are real strong nuts, they have a lot of HP, armor and magical protection. They are able to endure enemy attacks for a long time to give time to an ally to attack or protect the weak heroes during a waste, rushing to the crowd of enemies.

"HP" - Life glasses, from English.Hit Points..

Armor and Magic Protection - Heroes have some resistance different types damage, armor depends on the amount of dexterity and blocks physical damage, namely the one that is applied with a standard attack. Magic damage is applied by spells, standard protection of 25%, does not increase with the pumping hero. Both protection can be enlarged by the abilities and artifacts.

Pusher

On all lines there are towers protecting the throne. If they do not destroy them, then the main building will remain invulnerable. They apply a lot of damage and have a huge stock of lives, ordinary heroes will be difficult to cope with them in the middle and initial stage games. It has abilities that help to quickly destroy crips and carry the towers. If there are no union crips near the towers, they are invulnerable.

"Throne" is the main structure on the basis of the teams, in order to win it needs to be destroyed. To do this, we gradually need to destroy the enemy tower, only then can be demolished.

Nuker (Nuker)

Representatives of this class have powerful spells, and beat them with hands is not very effective. This role is especially precisely the fact that these spells apply great damage.

Escape (Escape)

These slippery and mobile guys can escape from any danger. Their abilities can give them invisibility, or teleportation to short distances. Thus, damage or death can be avoided.

Card in Dota 2

The first thing I saw in battle is a map, she is square as a famous picture of Kazimir Malevich. It has 3 attack lines for which crips go. The top is called "Top", the middle "MID", the lower "bot". The entire map is divided by the river into 2 parts, in the upper right corner there is a side of the darkness "DIRE", in the lower right side of the Light "Radiant".

As a rule, experienced players are going on, on the relevant heroes that are able to defend the line well, at the same time get more experience and gold, since it does not have to share with the second hero. It is necessary in order to make early attacks on enemy heroes and help allies, for this you need to be able to play well.

For the side of darkness, it is easy, since it is easier to move to protect your tower to protect your tower, and the bottom for darkness is solid, because there is the only pass to the tower and simply block it. Heroes are distributed over the lines, respectively, those who are not able to quickly move away, and vice versa. For the side of the world, the opposite is light below, and the complex above.

As already mentioned above, Linah stands the towers, ranging from the center of the map is T1, T2, T3, T4 behind them the throne, each of them is stronger than the previous one. Until the first tower is demolished, the second is not available and so on. After the T3 tower there are 2 barracks of the near and far File. If they are demolished by crips will be stronger. For example, if the forces of darkness demolish the barracks on the side of the world, then dark crips will be stronger than the bright and line will constantly be given towards the light. Accordingly, the melee barracks make super-crips of the melee and as long as long. All towers have the ability to see invisible units.

In addition, there is still an abundant area with the forest on each half of the card, neutral crimes are used. You can also notice the small cave on the side of darkness, there is Roshan, the main Creep, if you kill it, the valuable artifact will fall out, as well as the team who killed him will receive experience and money. It is intensified with time, some heroes cannot kill him even at the end of the game.

Artifacts in Dota 2

The following items are striking, they are divided into simple and improved. Improved are combined from simple. Using items you can make your hero very strong. Some give a lot of bonuses, the hero has 6 slots for artifacts to fill them with all the most expensive professional players leave about 40 minutes, in an ordinary game it can take 60-70 minutes depending on the hero and in general what happens on card.

Depending on the type of hero and its role in the game, various artifacts are collected, even the same hero can perform in different roles, it depends on who he plays. The variety of artifacts allows you to make exactly the one who is missing for victory from your character.

Heroes in Dota 2

We have already disassembled classes, in addition to this, they differ in the main characteristic and type of attack. There are 3 main characteristics in the game:

• Strength - the number of lifetimes depends on it, as well as the speed of their recovery.
• Dexterity - it affects the speed of attack, as well as on the amount of physical protection, that is, armor.
• Intellect - Determines the stock and speed of manna glasses recovery.

The main characteristic also adds a damage from a standard attack. If the dexteries receive an artifact to agility, he will receive a bonus to the damage and the speed of attack, as well as to the armor, but by collecting such an item, stronghold will receive only the speed of attack and armor, the damage has increased due to force.

The type of attack is only 2 near and distant, everything is simple and understandable here, there are heroes with some radius of attacks, they can attack from the distance, the nearby battle can beat, only approaching close.
