Dota 2 is inspired by the WarCraft III custom map Defense of the Ancients. Two teams of players try to destroy a special structure (known as an "ancient") in the opposing team's base. Each player controls a Hero, a powerful unit with special abilities. By killing enemy Hero units or their A.I. henchmen, these Heroes will grow in power.
