About Dota 2

Dota 2 is a MOBA developed by Valve, released in 2013. It sits across MOBA and Strategy, so it borrows ideas from each rather than sticking to one template.

You can play Dota 2 on desktop (PC, Mac and Linux). It supports PvP, so expect the experience to revolve around other players rather than a solo campaign.

Dota 2 is free to download and play, which makes it a low-risk way to find out whether the MOBA loop clicks for you. It carries a Teen age rating. It will suit you best if you enjoy competitive, esports and high skill ceiling experiences.
