Dota Game Modes

Posted: Wed Aug 09, 2006 10:59 am

Member Vipul asked for this so I looked around for references on all game modes available in Dota.

Thanks to Matthew Batchelder of Borkweb .

-ar : All Random Every player gets a random hero from any tavern. Incompatible with allpick, teamrandom, leaguemode and moderandom.
-tr : Team Random Every player gets a random hero from the taverns belonging to their team. Incompatible with allrandom, allpick, leaguemode and moderandom.
-mr : Mode Random Randomly picks a mode from ar, ap, tr and normal pick. Incompatible with allrandom, allpick, teamrandom, leaguemode and deathmatch.
-lm : League Mode League mode[/b]: All forms of random are disabled. 10 players required.

Secondary Game Modes

-dm : Death Match If you die, you will have to pick a new hero once you can respawn. Deathmatch must be selected before any primary game mode to work. If a random primary mode was selected, you will recieve a hero according to that random mode. A team loses if it has 36 deaths, or if its ancient is destroyed. Incompatible with allintelligence, allagility, allstrength, teamrandom, leaguemode, moderandom and samehero.
-id : Item Drop When you die, a random slot in your inventory will drop whatever it holds. You no longer lose money when dieing. Incompatible with leaguemode.
-sc : Super Creeps Every now and then, a super creep may spawn for each side and follow the creeps in either lane. The weakest supercreep is the siege golem, a bit stronger is the scary fish, and the ancient hydra is the strongest one. Incompatible with leaguemode.
-em : Easy Mode Towers are weaker, experience is gained faster, and you get more periodic gold. Incompatible with leaguemode.

After one minute, each player pair (blue - pink, teal - gray, purple - light blue, yellow - dark green, orange - brown) will have their heroes replaced with either one of the two they had. In the end, each player pair has the same hero, and both teams have the same matchup. Incompatible with samehero and leaguemode. Incompatible with samehero and leaguemode.

hey,
as i said before, im a fan of death match, and im confused on what to do here: can any one recommend to me a good item build that works on any hero with any primary attribute,(dont say try to preserve your first hero; coz i usualy end up getting killed once or twice) the only two worth-while items i know that affect all stats are mekansm and eye of skadi. any other good ones, coz both of these are too costly for the early game. otherwise, i get stuck with an empty bottle and boots!

@jay_derz

You could try to compute it..
IAS = Increased Attack Speed [usually in percent, the like 55% of hyperstone]
BAT = Base Attack Time [Base attack rate, attack cooldown.. etc]
1 agi = 1% IAS [0.01 IAS]

Attacks per second = (1 + IAS)/BAT
Most heroes have a BAT of 1.7

Example:
Razor at level 10 with power treads.
Agi = 45 [0.45 IAS]
Power treads = 30% IAS [0.30 IAS]
Total IAS = 0.75
So.. (1 + 0.75) = 1.75
1.75 / 1.7 = 1.02

You make 1.02 hits per second.. Or one hit per second.
*shrug* You really wouldn't think of this when you play anyway..
So much for "Theorycraft"

Edit: I'm not sure about the behavior of BAT, if it's constant or not, or if it changes depending on your agi. I just know the rough formula.

@ vipul , perseverence, boots or treads, mkb, divine (oh no!),linken, blink dagger. They almost suitable for every hero. But omg! I really HATE dm mode! @ yukino, IAS means initial attack speed or increase attack speed ? kayanya ga penting banget gitu lho. ^_^

Yukino,it's easier for all of us to beg IceFrog to put a -ats in commands then to calculate it all the time.
