The game’s hero pool is massive and limitlessly diverse, with each character able to unleash incredible abilities and devastating ultimates on their way to victory.
With more heroes joining the vast roster each year, players need to learn and understand which characters to pick to suit their playstyle.
What are Dota 2 heroes?
Dota 2 made its first appearance to the public at Gamescom in 2011 with the inaugural International Championship (TI1).

The tournament became Valve’s premier esports tournament event, and the game was officially released on July 9, 2013, after two years of beta testing.
The MOBA title’s characters are split into three categories: intelligence, strength, and agility. They all possess incredible abilities and overwhelming ultimates that they can unleash to devastate their opponents.
How many heroes are there in dota 2?
As of patch 7.32e, the game has 124 playable characters in total, with 31 strength, 31 agility, 30 intelligence, and 32 universal heroes.
The Ringmaster is the next hero to join the Dota 2 roster, according to Valve’s teaser trailer at TI12. The hero’s class and abilities have yet to be revealed.
He comes after Muerta, an intelligence hero that was released on March 7, 2023.
