TOP 200 FACTS ON DOTA 2 –
1. Defense of the Ancients 2, more commonly known as DOTA 2, was first officially released in July 2013 by Valve Corporation, after two years of beta testing.
2. The game is a sequel to Defense of the Ancients (DotA), which was a community-created mod for Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion pack.
3. Development of Dota 2 began in 2009 when IceFrog, lead designer of Defense of the Ancients, was hired by Valve to create a modernized remake for them in the Source game engine.

5. DOTA 2 was officially released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux-based personal computers via the digital distribution platform Steam in July 2013.
6. In June 2015, Valve announced that the entirety of Dota 2 would be ported over to their Source 2 game engine in an update called Dota 2 Reborn.

9. The mastermind behind this internet sensation is a person who goes by the name “IceFrog”. He began developing the game in 2005, and there is very little information available about him. He was born in 1983 or 1984.
10. IceFrog once posted pictures of cats on the Playdota forum in 2009. It was intended as a friendly post but earned him plenty of backlash. The Dota community complained of him spending time on leisure activities instead of updating the game. After the incident, he sealed himself away from the western world and only remained mildly active on his Weibo account in China.
11.Most people know that Dota first began as a modification of WarCraft 3. However, it was inspired by the map ‘Aeon of Strife’ in StarCraft, making that map the true legacy from which the popular gaming genre started.
12.Creation of the game first began in 2003 when a pseudonymous designer “Eul” took charge. Many iterations of the game were subsequently found, but it was Dota: AllStars created by the later League of Legends game designer, Steve “Guinsoo” Feak, which truly captivated gamers.

25.Just when you came to know that your fed up illusions would get one hit by Roshan, there is one thing you should know.

The result is EASY ROSHAN.
26.There’s probably one hero that can exploit the bloodstone to the max and that is a hero you won’t even think of right now.

142. Every single item in the game, even the rarest Pink Ethereal Flame Wardog (which costs like 35k bucks) is right there on your harddrive. The files are downloaded, but you cannot unlock them on your side. Sad, isn’t it.

Some of the pro players (like Dendi) have an average of 3000-3500 games played. There are about 110 heroes currently in the game. Which means that the average pro played about 30-35 games with each hero. I’m sure there are certain heroes you played more with. Of course this is maths, and pros have as much as 200+ games on their best heroes, but as long as there is a hero you played more than, say, 40 games with, chances are, you played more than a pro player somewhere.
144. In DotA, Tresdin was a horse-riding, mustache-sporting fantasy racist. His Dota 2 successor has identical abilities, but lost the horse and had a change of race and gender. The new Tresdin’s voice work makes reference to this fact, as she appreciates other heroes’ mounts and facial hair.

148 – SF having Wisp’s orbs as his ult
Yes, when SF first came out, his ult was basically permanent Wisp’s orbs that could be expanded and contracted, and dealt pathetic damage.
149 – Zeus’s static field was an active. With something like a 0 secs CD and less %. I remember how useless I thought it was, and how it got me laughing out loud when I ganked a Zeus and he spammed it desperately (the animation was hilarious, like he was doing squats) doing close to no damage and then died.
150 – There was a hero called God of Wind
No one seem to remember this hero, not even me. I don’t know what skills he had, the only reason I remembered his name was because he came in the same patch as BS and both were removed. I noticed BS came back, but God of Wind never did.
151 – Deso Clinkz was the bomb
Aside from SA, rushing first item Deso on Clinkz was the second most popular way to pub stomp. And it was surprisingly effective back then. No one seem to ever mention this, but Medusa Aegis Rapier is commonly brought up.
152 – Dazzle’s ult was Shallow Grave
This would have been beyond imbalanced today. Basically the long ass duration lasted longer than it’s cooldown so you can cast it on more than one person. If the person dies, he loses no gold and respawns almost immediately.
153 – FV had Carrion Swarm
Probably the most out of place spell I can remember. Everyone remember his old ult stunned the entire map, but no one remembers that he had Carrion Swarm in place of Time Walk.
154 – Ogre Magi had 100% multi-cast
There was no chance, only leveling up your ult and getting aghs.
155 – SK’s two forgotten spells
He leaves behind a trial of dust that debuffs enemies with miss chance, and it only worked when he was on Sentinel. And he could burrow indefinitely and stuns when he comes out.
156 – BOT used to cost 2700 gold
And the only other boot upgrade was Treads. And there was no such thing as TPs. Or couriers. Or even tangos.
157 – This one is still here, but I bet very few in Dota 2 remembers this now.
You can literally walk to a spot near the enemy fountain and appear back in your base as a shortcut. I’ll give you an apple this didn’t make you go “OH YEAH”.
158Heroes have one of three primary attributes: Strength, Agility, and Intelligence. Every point added to a hero’s primary attribute increases that hero’s attack damage.
159. Strength heroes are tough warriors and can withstand more damage than other heroes.
160. These heroes have the greatest natural health and can regenerate quickly, keeping them in the fight and dealing damage. Strength heroes can fit a variety of roles, with many being initiators or heavy disablers, and are almost always melee heroes.
161. Abaddon drank deeper than any from the prophetic vapors that flowed from the Font of Avernus. Now a being of unnatural powers, Abaddon releases deathly Mist Coils to damage adversaries and heal allies.
162. Having broken out of prison with his ogre accomplice, Razzil Darkbrew embarks on the search for new materials to use in his transmutations. Learned in alchemy, Razzil is able to extract extra gold from creeps, and create fields of toxic sludge with Acid Spray.
163. One by one the soldiers of the Red Mist fell, some in battle, others to Moghul Khan’s ambitions, until the self-declared general found himself a commander without troops. No matter, Axe thought. For a one-man army is the best army of all. Leaping into battle
164. Raised in the royal menagerie of Slom, Karroch learned to converse with beasts from a young age. With this unique talent, the Beastmaster is able to summon to his side a trusty Boar and a scouting Hawk.
165. For nine days Mangix fought the master of his order, both warriors swilling and striking in equal measure, until at last the elder collapsed into a drunken stupor. Having claimed the title of Brewmaster, Mangix now wanders the land as a Drunken Brawler, swinging and evading with unpredictable finesse.
166 The enforcer at a local pub, Rigwarl’s never failed to collect a tab. That is, until he met one tough customer from the north. For the first time in his life, Rigwarl felt the need to train. His thorny back deters attack while peppering foes with constant Quill Sprays.
167. Some write to express their being, others paint or sing. But for the centaurs of Druud, there is no higher art than the art of killing. And in that, none was more accomplished than Bradwarden.
168. Upon the black steed Armageddon, the Chaos Knight rode into countless battles with a single purpose in mind: To extinguish that which he knows as “The Light”. Like a roll of unseen dice, the oldest Fundamental stuns his targets with a Chaos Bolt, then deals unpredictable damage in the form of Chaos Strikes.
169. Wings branded and visage twisted, the Fallen One bears little resemblance to his former self. Banished from the realm of light, Lucifer now walks the earth, bringing misery to all who stand against him.
170. Powered by revenge and ingenuity, Rattletrap armored himself into an instrument of war. Rocket Flares flew from his shoulder-mounted launcher, striking and revealing distant territories.
171. As Sir Davion slew Slyrak in arranged combat, the Eldwurm’s blood mingled with his own, sealing their essences together. He was no longer a dragon-slayer, but a Dragon Knight. The infusion of Dragon Blood caused his wounds to heal with inhuman speed, and granted him great new powers.
172. Reborn of stone and jade, Kaolin fights with strength gathered from a thousand years of entombment. The great general places, like pieces on a grand board, silent Stone Remnants for use in strategies known only to himself.
173. Woken from the depth of the earth, Raigor Stonehoof shapes the battlefield with seismic force. With his long ranged Fissure, the Earthshaker creates impassable terrain where none existed before.
174. Even the greatest of Titans err in their work. Trapped in his own flawed creation, the Worldsmith seeks forever to repair the fissured planes. His Natural Order reduces all to its base, disintegrating whatever defenses his foes layer themselves with.
175.Rescued against his will from the Nothl Realm, the revived Huskar found supernatural strength in his own living essence. The Sacred Warrior marks Burning Spears with blood, setting both weapon and lifeforce alight before throwing them at his foes.
176. The phenomenon that is Io manifests on the physical plane as a wisp of light, its purpose beyond mortal understanding. It flits to and fro the battlefield, searching for an ally to Tether to.
177. It is said that none survived the battle at the Trembling Isle, save perhaps, the Admiral of the Claddish fleet. Man or phantom, Kunkka’s presence on the battlefield is duly felt by all. Armed with the legendary Tidebringer, the Admiral strikes with a single blow at all who stand before him.
178. Renowned for her intrepid defense of Stonehall, the commander of the Bronze Legion swore a brutal vengeance upon its abyssal invaders. The call of Tresdin’s horn heals and hastens her soldiers, inspiring them to Press the Attack. Faced with Overwhelming Odds, the commander calls down a spread of arrows from the archers of Stonehall.
179. The Lifestealer Feasts on raw flesh, nourishing himself with every attack while inflicting grievous Open Wounds that make escape near impossible. By sheer ferocity, or perhaps madness, N’aix flies into a Rage, intensifying his assault while defying all wizardry.
180. A magnoceros does not believe in chance, and the eruption of Mount Joerlak was no accident. For this reason Magnus set out, never to return to his kin until those responsible had been impaled upon his horn.
181. Seeking purpose and satisfaction through war, the god Mars now sets his sights on new conquests against his heavenly kin. In one arm he hoists a heavy shield, an impenetrable Bulwark that guards against all assault. Using divine strength, he pierces foes with his legendary Spear
182 Night stalker, inflicts a debilitating Void, slowing and forcing his quarry to flee, arms withering and spells fizzling as their hearts are stricken with Crippling Fear. Even the lighted hours provide no safety from the Night Stalker.
183. One of few to ever gaze upon the Omniscience itself, Purist Thunderwrath’s faith in the All Seeing One was unshakable. The seasoned knight had been imbued with holy strength, with which he now uses to preserve his allies.
184. Out of the deep void burst forth infinite stars, among them the cosmic progeny known to mortals as Phoenix. With stellar flame emanating from its terrestrial form, the Phoenix dives the battlefield in an arc, setting ablaze all who pass beneath its wings.
185. Pudge hacks tendon from joint, flesh from bone, and gobbles down his grisly harvest. But carcasses were no substitute for fresh meat.
186. Obscured in the harshest of Sand Storms was Crixalis, guardian and ambassador of the Scintillant Waste.
187. Snapfire has survived to venerable old age in the harsh deserts of Nanarak, owing to her ingenious craftsmanship, and overwhelming firepower.
188 The Rogue Knight lives by two creeds: Honor, as ordained by his own personal code, and solitude. Using his iron gauntlet, Sven throws out the Storm Hammer to stun multiple foes.
189. Rizzrack had good cause to be paranoid. Augury Bay fell to the walking trees, its inhabitants crushed under branch and bough.
190 Vale of Augury comes Rooftrellen, a lone explorer sent forth by his ancient race to survey the wider world. Barely distinguishable from his arboreal brethren
191. Ymir rolls into battle as an unstoppable Snowball, stunning foes in its path.
192. Among the ascetic monks of Turstarkuri, only a young acolyte was fortunate enough to escape the fallen legion’s assault on the monastery.
193. Impressed by the teachings of Xin, the Burning Celestial breathed life into the warrior-poet’s ashes.
