Dota 2 was developed by valve after they saw the love many had for the original Dota (Defense of the Ancients) mod for Warcraft III and its expansions. Some would argue that without the original Dota that the likes of league of legends wouldn't be as popular.
The basics of Dota 2 is that its a multiplayer online battle arena video game which is what MOBA stands for. The game was released on July 9, 2013 for Microsoft Windows and is exclusively available through Valve's content delivery platform, Steam.
Dota 2 consists of session-based online multiplayer matches, in which two teams of five players attempt to destroy their opponents' fortified strongholds. Each player controls a "Hero" character and, over the course of an individual game, focuses on improving their hero's abilities, acquiring items, and fighting against the other team.
Valve gave out a lot of free beta keys so that people could play but now that its officially released Valve has said it is adding new players in waves to ensure a steady launch. So there is bit of a queue for all of us but I'm sure ye can wait if ya really wanna wait.
