Dota 2 <\/em>is a team game. Regardless of whether you\u2019ve queued solo or in a party, it\u2019s a five versus five battle to see which team can work together better to destroy the enemy\u2019s Ancient while defending their own. It\u2019s a simple premise, but in my experience as a veteran player, it\u2019s one people often forget in pubs and opt to rely on individual plays.<\/p>
The reality is there are five positions or roles that need to be filled. Each one serves a different purpose, but all of them are equally important. Selecting a hero and build suited to a position or role and playing it correctly is the first and most important step to increasing the chances of winning. Other variables affect the outcome too, but ensuring each position or role is covered and played well is arguably the most important piece of the puzzle.<\/p>
For that reason, it\u2019s important to know what each of those positions or roles are in Dota 2<\/em>, what responsibilities are associated with each one, and of course, how to play them. So, without further ado, let\u2019s dive into it.<\/p>
