Valve's free-to-play 5v5 MOBA, where two teams of five battle across three lanes to destroy the enemy Ancient.
Dota 2 is Valve's flagship multiplayer online battle arena, pitting two teams of five heroes against each other in a fight to raze the opposing Ancient. Built on the Source 2 engine, it runs comfortably on modest hardware for most of a match, but frame rates dip hardest during full five-versus-five teamfights, when dozens of spell effects, summoned units, and additive light passes all render at once — moments that lean heavily on your CPU. With well over a hundred distinct heroes, thousands of item and ability interactions, and one of the deepest competitive scenes in all of esports, Dota 2 rewards mechanical precision, map awareness, and split-second decision-making over raw reflexes.
