I am a beacon of knowledge blazing out across a black sea of ignorance.
Visualização geral do mapa a partir da versão 7.15.
O mapa é o campo jogado em todas as partidas de Dota 2. É composto de dois lados, um da facção dos 
Iluminados e um da facção dos 
Temidos. Para ganhar, os jogadores devem destruir o Ancestral do lado oposto, a estrutura mais importante no centro da base de cada equipe. O mapa é representado na interface pelo minimapa.
Facções[]
Cada facção ocupa uma metade diagonal do mapa, separados no meio pelo rio. Os Iluminados são situados no canto inferior esquerdo do mapa, enquanto os Temidos são situados no canto superior direito. Os Ancestrais estão localizados dentro das fortalezas no coração do território de cada facção.
Trilhas[]
O mapa é dividido em três trilhas diferentes, a trilha de cima, de baixo e do meio. Cada uma destas trilhas levam para à base da outra equipe, protegidas por torres ao longo do caminho. Durante o começo da fase das trilhas do jogo, a maioria das jogadas são centralizadas em volta das trilhas.
A trilha de baixo para os Iluminados e a trilha de cima para os Temidos são consideradas trilhas seguras. As criaturas se encontram perto das torres, proporcionando uma maior proteção contra os inimigos. Estas trilhas são recomendadas para iniciantes, já que fornecem alguma proteção adicional contra emboscadas.
Rio[]
O rio separa as duas facções do mapa. É cercado pelo terreno alto que bloqueia a visão dos jogadores de ambos os lados.
Runas[]
Existem dois tipos de Runas que aparecem em intervalos de 2 minutos em diferentes locais no mapa: Runas de Poder e Runas de Recompensas. Como o nome indica , Runas de Poder garantem bônus aos jogadores e Runas de Recompensas uma recompensa em ouro.
Do começo da partida e em diante, Runas de Recompensas vão aparecer em quatro lugares diferentes do mapa, duas no lado dos Iluminados, e outras duas no lado dos Predefinição:Factions .
Runa de Recompensas: Concede uma quantidade de ouro e experiencia que é baseada com o decorrer do jogo..
Da marca de dois minutos e enfrente, uma Runa de Poder vai aparecer aleatoriamente em um dos dois pontos no rio. Existem seis tipos de runas que podem aparecer:
- Runa de Dano Duplo: Concede 100% de dano base do herói como bônus de dano.
- Runa de Ilusão: Cria duas ilusões do herói.
- Runa de Invisibilidade: Concede invisibilidade depois de um atraso de 1 segundo.
- Runa de Regeneração: Restaura completamente vida e mana. Interrompe se sofrer ataque de outro jogador.
- Runa de Ímpeto: Garante velocidade de movimento máxima e imunidade a Desaceleração.
- Runa Arcana: Causes all spell cooldowns to be reduced by 30% and mana costs to be reduced by 40%.
Roshan[]
Roshan é uma criatura extremamente forte localizado na parte noroeste do rio. Se morto, Roshan garante ouro a todo o time, também garante o item Égide do Imortal, que automaticamente ressuscita o portador em sua morte . Mais tarde no jogo, Queijo também pode ser obtido se o Roshan for morto três vezes, o que vai restaurar em muito a vida e mana de um Herói quando usado. Lutar com o Roshan geralmente requer mais de um jogador.
Floresta[]
A Floresta se refere à área com árvores entre as trilhas. É onde as criaturas neutras podem ser encontradas, podem ser abatidos pelo ouro e experiência. É possivel subir de nível matando as criaturas na floresta, ao invés de ser nas trilhas. Esta prática é chamada de caçar criaturas.
Estruturas[]
Estruturas estão espalhadas pelo mapa, e podem ser destruídas pelo time oposto por ouro e experiencia. Para alcançar o Ancestral, estruturas devem ser destruidas do exterior pro interior. Estruturas poder ganhar ivunerabilidade com o Glifo de Fortificação.
Os jogadores podem teletransportar para qualquer estrutura com um Town Portal Scroll ou Boots of Travel.
Torres[]
Each faction has defensive towers placed along the lanes leading to the Ancient. Towers deal single target damage to heroes and creeps. In the early stages of the game, a hero can only take a few hits from a tower before dying, so one must be careful as to not get too close to towers until they have gained enough strength. Towers have True Sight, and can detect invisible enemies.
Shrines[]
Shrines have an ability with a 5 minute cooldown. Allied heroes can right-click to activate it, generating a 500 AoE aura that lasts for 5 seconds. The aura provides 120/40 HP/MP regeneration per second (heal values increase during the game by 2 HP / 1 MP per minute). Activates once you are in melee range after right-clicking on it. Shrines ability becomes available to use outside of the base once creeps spawn at 0:00. There are Shrines near each team's Secret Shop and new Ancient Camp locations. each Shrines can be teleported to. Shrines become vulnerable whenever a Tier 3 tower falls for the respective team.
Barracks[]
Each base has three pairs of barracks, placed behind towers. One is for melee creeps, and one is for ranged creeps. If the barracks is destroyed, the opposing team's creeps will become stronger. If all 6 barracks are destroyed, all opposing creeps will gain an even larger power-up, which makes them very difficult to defend against. These mega creeps can usually assure victory because of their high health, damage and numbers, and can kill a Hero quickly if they are reckless enough.
Ancestral[]
Esta é a estrutura principal de ambas as bases. Se uma equipe destruir o Ancestral da outra equipe, o jogo acaba e e equipe que destruiu é a ganhadora. Esta estrutura não ataque e regenerará a vida lentamente com o tempo. É defendido por duas torres e não pode ser atacado até essas torres estejam destruídas.
Lojas[]
Existem seis lojas no mapa, três para cada lado.
- Loja da base: Esta loja está localizada na fonte, e vende todos os itens básicos e receitas.
- Loja secreta: Esta loja está perto da trilha mais curta de cada lado. Vende os itens mais caros, são necessários para fazer os itens de final de jogo.
- Loja secundária: Esta loja está localizada na borda da trilha mais longa. Vende alguns itens da loja da base e da loja secreta, principalmente os mais úteis para a trilha.
Minimapa[]
O Minimapa is located at the corner of the Head-up display. It gives players an overhead view of the entire map, as well as the ability to issue certain commands. Constant awareness of the minimap is crucial to skilled gameplay.
Visão[]
A ward spot sign
Vision defines which areas of the map is visible to the player's team. Areas that are not visible are covered by the Fog of War. Visions can be granted by allied heroes, units, and wards. Trees, walls, and higher terrain will obstruct vision.
Terreno[]
There are six different height levels that have gameplay relevance:
- Rio
- Lowground (mid lanes)
- Highground (base, side lanes)
- Elevated (fountain / few cliffs)
- Cliffs (most other cliffs)
- Valley (side lane tinker ward spots)
One heigh level can be connected to another by a stair (pathable) or a cliff (obstructed).
If an attack projectile is released, the uphill miss Evasion is calculated depending on where the two units are standing on the impact time.
Pathing[]
They call me Tiny.
Every time a player sends a move command, the pathing takes care of finding the fastest way possible. The path can be blocked by cliffs, Trees, Iron Branches, other units (also known as Body Block) and Traps.
Cliffs are the major component to limit the movement on the map. They can only be surpassed by Forced Movement, Blinks or Unobstructed Movement. Trees define the lane and jungle contours for the most part. They can be destroyed by various means and allow juking in the Fog of War. Body blocking is very important to keep the creep equilibrium at a favourable position in your Lane or to prevent an enemy from escaping until your allies catch up. Traps are mainly intended to cut off the route for chasing or escaping heroes, but they can be used for unconventional pulling methods as well.
Curiosidades[]
- The map's total size is approximately 15,000 units x 15,000 game units.
História[]
Predefinição:Outdated The Dota 2 map is ultimately derived from the Starcraft custom map Aeon of Strife, which also featured multiple lanes and a final objective to destroy. The map's current diagonal format was created for Defense of the Ancients, the Warcraft 3 custom map upon which Dota 2 is based.
