What is Dota 2?
Dota 2 is Valve’s free-to-play competitive MOBA in which two teams of five players choose heroes and fight to destroy the opposing Ancient. Every hero has a different ability set, role and set of decisions to learn.
Matches combine laning, farming, itemization, team fights, map control and objective play. Balance updates keep changing the context, so this wiki separates stable game information from current build and strategy observations.
Answers first. Evidence in view.
Stable game information, current observations and community reports stay visibly separated so you can judge what to trust before your next match.
Decision first
Every guide should tell you what to do, when to do it and what success looks like.
Evidence visible
Official facts, current data and community observations stay separated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an official Dota 2 website?
No. Dota 2 Wiki is a fan-made guide and community project. Official links are kept separate from editorial pages.
Should I follow one build every match?
No. Use a build as a starting point, then adapt it to your role, lane, opponents, timing and current patch.
How current are the recommendations?
Each page will keep its observation date and version boundary. Unknown or conflicting claims remain marked for review.
