"

Game modes are a set of restrictions within which the game of Dota 2 can be played. Most game modes alter how heroes are picked by players. There are also some novelty modes that allow 1v1 play, or give a player a new hero every time they die, for example. Game modes are unlocked by increasing your profile level, with all modes being unlocked at level 10. In addition to standard game modes, Dota 2 also supports Custom Games created by the community.

All Pick [ ]

Choose from the full hero pool.
Players can choose any hero, random a hero, or swap heroes with teammates.

• 75 seconds hero selection time, instead of the default 60.
• 75 seconds pre-creep time, instead of the default 90.
• Players lose 2 gold per second if they haven't picked a hero after the selection timer runs out.
  • Cannot random in the last 10 seconds of the picking phase.

Randoming [ ]

Clicking the "Random" button locks in a random hero for the player

• Gives a free and unsellable Enchanted Mango and Faerie Fire
• Ignores the player's 25 least played heroes

Turbo Mode [ ]

This game mode has the same rules as All Pick. However, in order to shorten the match time, several differences exist:

• Faster drafting:
  • All bans are applied immediately, rather than being voted and randomly chosen.
  • Shorter timers on all ban, pick and strategy phases.
• Increased gold and experience gain:
  • All experience gain doubled.
  • All creep bounties doubled.
  • Hand of Midas gold doubled.
  • Bounty Rune gold doubled.
• No gold lost on death.
• Ancients do not regenerate health.
• All tiers of neutral items start dropping 7 minutes earlier.
  • The shop still shows the standard game times for their unlocks. However, the displayed times still light up correctly when the items become available.
• Weaker towers:
  • Tier 1 towers have 1350 health and 9 armor.
  • Tier 2 towers have 2500 health and 16 armor.
  • Tier 3 towers have 2500 health and 16 armor.
  • Tier 4 towers have 2600 health and 21 armor.
• Lane creeps are upgraded at a much faster rate than normal:
  • Creeps are upgraded at wave 6 and every 5 waves afterward (i.e. 11, 16, 21, 26...).
  • Creeps receive 3 upgrades compared to normal mode at each time they are upgraded.
• Very fast couriers with streamlined controls:
  • Every player gets their own courier, that start out as flying couriers, regardless of hero level.
  • Couriers automatically deliver items in the Stash or their own inventory. Couriers have an ability to toggle this feature off.
  • Couriers are permanently hasted at 1100 movement speed.
• Items can be sold from anywhere on the map, regardless of shop proximity.
• Secret Shop items can be bought from the regular shops. The Secret Shops also act as normal shops.
• Town Portal Scrolls and Boots of Travel have halved cooldowns.
• Reduced Roshan respawn timer, seemingly 5-7 minutes.
• Each match earns half the standard hero XP for Dota Plus.
• Relics track half the stats in Turbo Mode.
• Hero stats in the player profile are not updated, the All Hero Challenge can be done in Turbo Mode.
• Wins in Turbo Mode count as half wins for Arcanas that track wins.
• Up to 1 star for Hero Challenges can be earned in Turbo Mode.

Ranked All Pick [ ]

The All Pick mode in ranked matches works different than the regular All Pick mode, and is called "Ranked Matchmaking".

• Banning Phase:
  • All players have 15 seconds to vote for a hero to be banned.
  • A hero may only be voted once. Two players cannot vote for the same hero.
  • The game displays heroes as they are voted on, but not who voted.
  • After 15 seconds, each vote has a 50% chance of succeeding. The chances are rolled for each voted hero individually.
  • The system automatically bans additional random heroes based on their ban rate at the MMR bracket the match plays on. This always results in a total of 16 banned heroes.
• Pick Phase:
  • Players pick heroes over 3 rounds.
  • The first two rounds last 25 seconds. Two players from each team pick a hero.
  • The last round lasts 20 seconds. One player from each team picks a hero.
  • If the timer expires, players who haven't picked lose 2 gold per second.
  • Player picks are not revealed until their round ends. If two players pick the same hero, that hero is banned and the round restarts. This can happen maximum twice. If two players pick the same hero for the third time, whoever picks the hero first will get the hero, and the other player will have time to repick their hero.
  • If a player fails to pick a hero and loses gold for more than 30 seconds, they are assigned a random hero.
  • If a player does not enter battle with his hero until after the 0:00 mark, that player's gold is removed and distributed to all of the players on his team. Similar to if he had abandoned, but it does not count as an abandon for the sake of the game being safe to leave.
• Randoming:

Ranked All Pick picking order

Radiant	Radiant		Radiant	Radiant		Radiant
Dire	Dire		Dire	Dire		Dire

Single Draft [ ]

Choose from 3 random heroes.
Players pick from a pool of one Strength hero, one Agility hero, and one Intelligence hero. Each player gets different randomly assigned heroes.

• Randoming a hero out of the selected 3 does not grant extra gold.
• Swapping heroes with allies is not allowed.
• When in Low Priority, the player is only allowed to play in this game mode.

Random Draft [ ]

Players take turns choosing from a pool of 33 random heroes.
Radiant and Dire players take turns picking from a pool of 33 random heroes. Players are given 20 seconds to make each choice. The starting team is always the same.

Captains Mode [ ]

Each team's captain bans and chooses heroes for the team.
Captains mode is the standard format for tournament games. The captains ban certain heroes, up to seven per team, preventing either team from picking the hero. The captain also chooses five heroes for their team. After the captains choose five heroes, each player chooses a hero from their captain's selections. 30 seconds are allotted for bans, and 30 seconds for picks. Each captain has 130 seconds total bonus time that can be used throughout any selection. If time runs out during a ban selection, no hero will be banned; if time runs out during a pick selection, a random hero will be chosen. In Unranked matchmaking, The player that clicks the "become captain" button first is the captain; In Ranked, the captain is the player on each team with the highest solo MMR. The starting team is randomly selected in matchmaking; if playing in a private lobby a starting team may be specified. Some heroes that were recently created or tweaked are unavailable in Captains Mode; they will be added eventually.

The player that clicks the "become captain" button first is the captain. The starting team is randomly selected in matchmaking; if playing in a private lobby a starting team may be specified.

Each player starts off with a courier, free of charge.

• First set of runes does not spawn.
• Players can voice chat with each other.
• Players may forfeit by calling 'gg' or leaving the match.
• Side towers are invulnerable.

All Random Deathmatch [ ]

Players receive a random hero when they respawn after dying. First team to exhaust either teams 40 respawns, reach 45 kills on either team, or when the Ancient is destroyed, wins.

Private Lobbies [ ]

In private lobbies, the creep spawn timer in the All Pick mode uses the same timer as the Captain's Draft mode.

These game modes are only available in private lobby games.

Reverse Draft [ ]

Captains choose heroes that the other team must play.
Same rules as Captains Mode, except after the captains have chosen their heroes, players will be forced to pick from the other team's choices.

Mid Only [ ]

Creeps only spawn in the middle lane. Duplicate heroes allowed.
Similar to 1v1 Solo Mid but less restrictive. Creeps only spawn in middle lane, and players are allowed to select the same hero. Any amount of players can play, and the game only ends when either team's ancient is destroyed.

Event Game Modes [ ]

Several game modes are released for a limited time to tie in with seasonal events. These modes cannot be played outside of the duration of the event.

Diretide 2012 [ ]

Collect candy for your team's candy bucket. Avoid the sugar-hungry Roshan!

Diretide 2012 features invulnerable buildings, new tough creeps called Roshlings on each lane, and a candy bucket in each team's ancient creep camp. The game mode has two phases, the first goal being to collect candy and to return it to your team's candy bucket. Candy can be obtained from Roshlings or neutral creeps, or stolen from enemy heroes or the enemy bucket. After some time, Roshan will begin roaming the map, chasing random heroes and attacking them until they die or feed him a piece of candy. When the first phase ends, the team with the most candy stored wins, and Roshan settles in one of the jungle camps, beginning the second phase. All heroes receive a substantial amount of gold to spend on items and both teams must now work together to kill Roshan for the match to end. Roshan has much higher health and an arsenal of deadly abilities at his disposal. All players receive a Greevil Egg upon completion of a Diretide 2012 match.

Diretide 2013 [ ]

A variant of Diretide 2012 with a different Roshan fight.

Most of the rules are the same as Diretide 2012, however the Roshan fight plays differently. All heroes receive unlimited gold with which to purchase items. Roshan has gained additional, more powerful abilities. When Roshan dies, he comes back stronger, gaining more health each time he is defeated, with the match ending when the timer runs out.

The Greeviling [ ]

Transform into your Greevil! Race to clear out 11 neutral Greevil camps around the map.

The Greeviling features invulnerable buildings, no lane creeps and neutral Greevil camps with unique abilities that occasionally appear in the jungle. Players are given the Greevil Whistle, which allows them to transform their hero into a selected Greevil from the player's inventory, with abilities and stats based on which essences were applied to its Greevil Egg before hatching. The goal of the game mode is to clear out 11 neutral Greevil camps before the enemy team. Each cleared camp spawns a gift which sends random items to a random hero on the map.

Wraith-Night [ ]

Defend Skeleton King's altar against waves of creeps as he is reborn into Wraith King!

Wraith-Night is a mode where a team of 5 players must defeat 13 waves of creeps and prevent Skeleton King's altar from being destroyed. The last wave features a reborn Wraith King, which must be defeated 3 times to complete the wave. The match ends if Wraith King is defeated, Skeleton King's altar is destroyed, or if all 5 players are dead.

Available heroes

Axe	Crystal Maiden	Drow Ranger
Elder Titan	Jakiro	Juggernaut
Legion Commander	Lina	Magnus
Omniknight	Queen of Pain	Sand King
Shadow Fiend	Shadow Shaman	Storm Spirit
Sven	Templar Assassin	Venomancer
Windranger	Witch Doctor

Most heroes have a modification to their skill set.

Fighting the Year Beast [ ]

Battle the elusive Year Beast for rewards and fame!

The Year Beast is occasionally available during the New Bloom Festival 2014. In this game mode, five players must attempt to inflict as much damage as possible to the Year Beast. The round ends when the timer runs out or all players are dead. Rewards are based on how much damage was inflicted.

Compendium Match [ ]

Replay matches from The International 2013 with the same picks.
This game mode was available to Compendium owners, and allowed them to replay certain matches from The International 2013. Players can choose from the five heroes that were picked by the competing teams playing in the original match.

Mutation Mode [ ]

Play an unranked match with random game modifiers'
This game mode was available to The International 2018 Battle Pass owners. Players could queue for an unranked match with three random game modifiers that greatly changes Dota 2's mechanics.

Weekend Battle Cup [ ]

The Weekend Battle Cup is a weekly tournament available during certain tournament events. It compromises eight teams in a competing in a single bracket format. Winners of the Battle Cup earn temporary awards depending on the event.

How to enable other game modes [ ]

Enabling multiple game modes at once [ ]

dota_match_game_modes takes a number as a parameter, which, when converted to binary acts like a switch (e.g. 1048576 is 100000000000000000000 in binary). Each zero/one is a switch to enable each game mode. In layman's terms you can enable and disable game modes by adding the numbers together. For example, to play All Pick and Single Draft you would do calculate 2 + 16 = 18 and put 18 with the console command.

Some useful combinations:

• Every available game mode: dota_match_game_modes 2097152
• All non-listed game modes: dota_match_game_modes 183232

    • Summary: 3 bans then 3 picks then 2 bans then 2 picks.
    • Ban Phase #1: Each team bans 3 heroes. 30 seconds for each step
      • Process: 1-1-1-1-1-1
    • Pick Phase #1: Each team then picks 3 heroes. 50 seconds for each step.
      • Process: 1-2-2-1
    • Ban Phase #2: Each team then bans 2 heroes. 50 seconds for each step
      • Process: 1-1-1-1
    • Pick Phase #2: Each team then picks 2 heroes. 50 seconds for each step
      • Process: 1-1-1-1
    • 90 seconds of extra time is provided in each team's time bank.
• Added a -ub (-Unban) game mode to override the default -cm changed hero restrictions. You use this in combination with cm, -ubcm
• The autozoom restore function in -zm is increased to give extra time to temporarily zoom in

• Implemented a new mode for observers -zm (-zoommode). It pulls the camera outwards to see more action at the same time.
• Implemented a new game mode -cp (-capturepoint)
  • This game mode requires more teamwork and coordination than you might expect from your usual funmode.
  • After 10 minutes, 6 capture points appear at fixed locations around the map. Once the capture points are created, those areas are permanently visible to both teams for the rest of the game.
  • To capture a point, you have to be standing on it for a certain amount of time. The more heroes standing on it the faster you gain control over it. There cannot be any enemy heroes at a point you are trying to capture. With 5 heroes it requires 12.5 seconds to capture (60 for just 1 hero). Heroes cannot be invisible while on a capture point area. Illusions do not count as heroes when on top of a Capture Point.
  • There are 3 types of capture points, if you get 2 of the same type then they stack. Duplicates of each type are available on opposite sides of the map.
  • The game announces when an enemy captures a point. It is also visible on the minimap which areas you have captured and which areas the enemy has. When you capture a point, your team's heroes gain bonuses to various attributes (described below)
    • Combat - CP Type 1 [Bonus Damage/Armor]: Increases your Damage by 14 and Armor by 4 (Twice of each if you have both)
    • Regen - CP Type 2 [Bonus Health/Mana Regeneration]: Increases your Health Regeneration by 4 and Mana Regeneration by 1
    • Speed - CP Type 3 [Bonus Movement/Attack Speed]: Increases your Movement Speed by 4% and Attack Speed by 12%
    • If you have two of the same type, you get twice the bonus. For example, if you have both Combat you get 28 bonus damage and 8 bonus armor.
  • Whenever your team captures or recaptures a point, all allied heroes in that area will get healed for 200 hp/mp, gain 150 bonus gold and bonus xp (4 creeps worth)
• CM heroes updated (In: Alchemist, Visage, Bounty Hunter, Spiritbreaker, Lucifer, Out: NA, Mag, TB, Tree, Weaver, Clinkz)
• Only blue can type -cm 1/2

• Added a 15 second wait period before the drafting begins in -CD to give both teams a chance to look at the heroes.

• Switch now only works as long as the items of the leaver remain intact. Once someone leaves, the inventory of that hero becomes locked. Players can use an -unlock command, but once that is done switch cannot be used on that hero anymore. Once this feature is used enough to be considered stable, switch will be usable by default (-so mode won't be required) with the restrictions described above. The gold that the leaver is carrying is also frozen until the hero is either unlocked or swapped.
• Restored -mc, but with more detailed statistics to match up with the recently changed Multicast chance system

• Increase the buffer time in -CM from 45 to 60 seconds (This means 15 seconds total for each player, not 15 seconds for each turn)
• New and reworked heroes are temporarily unavailable in -CM

• Day and Night cycle is synchronized across all game modes now
• Implemented HCL protocol for game hosting bots to control game modes

• Removed the int/agi/str distribution in -CD. It is now like RD in its hero distribution.

• Added a new game mode -cd (-CaptainsDraft)
  • 24 Heroes are randomly allocated in a circle (like RD). The 24 consist of 8 random Intelligence/Agility/Strength heroes, sorted in that order along the circle.
  • Each team has a total time bank of 2.5 minutes. Blue/Pink draft the heroes for their entire team.
  • Blue and Pink start off by alternating 1/1/1/1 ban picks.
  • It then goes into a 1/2/2/2/2/1 hero draft.
  • Once a hero picks/bans a hero, it immediately switches to the other player to act.
  • Your timer is shown in red when it is your turn to act.
  • I am considering implementing a new order for the bans for this mode in the future. The bans would not all happen before the pick process, it would be in between picks. I decided to keep it the traditional way for now and get some feedback on alternatives.
• Added a new game mode -rs (-randomside) to randomize which side your team starts in. This does not shuffle the players. It just places a team randomly as either Sentinel or Scourge.
• Added -random Intelligence/Strength/Agility. It gives you 100 less bonus gold than the 250 bonus gold the regular -random gives you.
• Normal mode can now pick from their team's heroes plus neutral heroes

• Added a new experimental mode Experimental Runes (-er)
  • This temporary mode changes the rune system to a more experimental one. I will be changing how -er works from version to version to try out different ideas. I don't plan on any one version of the new runes to replace the current system directly, so do not panic. Well Instead, it will be used as something to create discussion, spark ideas, find flaws and playtest different concepts over time.
  • How -er works for this version: Runes spawn simultaneously on both sides at 3 minute intervals (instead of 2). Again I have no plans to make this permanent.

• Added a new mode -mo (-MeleeOnly)
• Added a new mode -ro (-RangeOnly)
• Changed -mr (-moderandom) it now picks between RD/SD/VR/ARAI
• Changed -vr (-VoteRandom) to make your hero pools include 1 of each Intelligence/Agility/Strength/Melee/Range
• Glyph no longer refreshes in -wtf mode

• RD selection area now becomes unexplored after the pick phase is over

• Added a new game mode (-captainsmode/-cm)
  • Blue and Pink are the team captains. A random side starts the process (you can customize this, see below)
  • Ban Time: 40. Pick Time: 60. Extra Time: 45.
  • You start by alternating 1/1/1 in the ban phase. Each captain removes up to 4 heroes. Running out of time does not result in a random hero ban.
  • After that you enter the 1/2/2/ pick phase. Each captain picks the heroeshis team will use.
  • If at any time you run out of time, you start to use up your extra time. If you run out and you are in pick phase, you get a random hero.
  • Creeps spawn 90 seconds after the pick draft phase is over. Right after the hero pick phase ends, the 5 heroes for your team are presented with a checkmark on them (RD style) allowing players on your team to pick which one they want to be.
  • The captain that starts this process is random. If you want to give the starting to Sentinel, type -cm 1 or -cm 2 for Scourge after the game mode is entered.
  • The picks, bans, timers, etc are all presented in a board for easy viewing by team mates and observers.
• Added a new mode -fastrespawn (-fr) that causes respawns to take half as much time
• Changed -SD time to be the same as AP

• Added a new fun mode -mi(miniheroes) that creates the heroes at half size
• Dummy lineup units in RD now show player name
• Improved hero selection process in RD
• Player turn indicator for RD is made clearer

• Completely reworked and improved the way RD hero picking is done

• Added a new mode -observerinfo (-oi) to display extra information for game broadcasters/observers when you hover over player heroes
• XL Mode changed to have 4 hero removals per side instead of 3

• -swap is now allowed in -sd

• Added a new game mode -singledraft or -sd (swiss)

• Added a timer in -rd/-xl/-lm to show you how much time you have left to pick your hero

• Added creep spawn modes -notop/-nomid/-nobot (-nt/-nm/-nb)
• New heroes are disabled in -lm/-xl

• Added new mode -xl(Extended League Mode)
• Enabled POTM/Warlock/Alchemist in -lm and Warlock in -rd

• Lowered initial wait time before drafting starts in -rd

• Allowed swaphero to be used after the -rd draft
• If you don't pick a hero in -rd, one will be randomed for you (for the same gold cost)

• You now have more time to repick (120 from 60)

• Added -reverse (-rv) mode
• WTF Mode no longer requires voting

• WTF mode now requires voting

• New mode -vr (-voterandom, like -ar except you get to vote on which hero combinations are used)
• Repick in -ap or normal mode now lets you pick a new hero instead of randoming it. Cost reduced here since you would need to buy a hero. Repick is unchanged in -ar/-tr
• Reworked -lm to give a chance for Scourge to begin the pick process instead of always Sent

• Added -samehero (-sh) mode
• If blue isn't playing, the next available color will be allowed to enter the game mode.
• Improved the game mode entering system. Modes are now entered on one line like "-apidsh" or "-dm -ar -sc". You do not need to worry about the order you enter the modes in, the game will handle it or warn you (and give you another chance) if the mode is incorrect/incompatible.
• Renamed shortmode to -easymode (-em)
• Restored a more functional -du mode

• Added Observer Mode support (Now league games can be broadcasted using Waaagh!TV).
• -dm and -lm now compatible with -ap
• -mirrormode (-mm) returns due to popular demand, with all abilities multi-instance capable.
• Neutral Host capability through an extra slot (useful for important tournaments where host neutrality matters)

• -moderandom (-mr) randomly picks a mode from ar/ap/tr/regular

• Added a mode for league play, -lm (-leaguemode)
• Added Deathmatch, -dm (-deathmatch)
• Shortmode is a bit shorter

• Fun hero Tavern created (invoker and techies moved there) use "-fun"

• Allrandom now alternates between sent and scourge instead of all sent first

• Deathmatch items restored upon revival
