A lot of players were waiting for the second part of the greatest MOBA to come out, and in particular they were interested in the Dota 2 system requirements, which already showed that almost everyone who had preferred the first Dota before could play it. But at the same time, the new game was notable for a number of interesting advantages, for which it would be possible to quit even the first part, despite the amazing voice acting and an unforgettable atmosphere.
What is Dota 2?
Nowadays, many do not know, but only heard about what this game is, and what the Dota 2 system requirements are, what is the gameplay in it, what graphics - all this remains a mystery to such people, but they are sure that that only schoolchildren play Dota, and no one else. Unfortunately, today it is unlikely that any victory of the domestic team at one of the international or even our championships will be officially and loudly highlighted at which quite substantial prizes are played, and something else is unlikely to change public opinion.
What about the heroes?
Inveterate fans of MOVA, who are also familiar with the first "Dota", will be interested not only in the Dota 2 system requirements, but also in the fact that at the moment there are more than 100 characters in the game, and each has its own characteristics. That is why in order to ultimately succeed, it is not enough just to choose the character that you visually like the most. That hero who once successfully proved himself in one game in the other can already be completely useless, so everything from choosing a character and ending with a set of items he gets is an absolute improvisation from one match to another.
Dota 2 is a game in which there are no templates, since in the overwhelming majority of cases, competent players act, starting from the actions of the enemy. That is why in the championships before the party begins, both Dota 2 teams choose heroes in turn, because if they were not forced to take characters that way, the battles would be fought between creeps, because each team would sit and wait for someone to choose.
It is for this reason that Dota is comparable to chess, where the ability to play and knowledge of the basic combinations means much less than strategic and logical thinking.
What is the difference between the new "Dota" and the old?
First of all, I want to note the system requirements of Dota 2. Of course, they are slightly higher than in the original version, but in fact, almost everyone can play the new Dota, even if he bought his computer about 5 years ago. It is worth noting that from the ancient graphics, because of which many could not play WarCraft 3 and slowly flowed into other projects, there was no trace left. The new Dota 2 heroes look different, many are even completely unlike the characters in the first part (goodbye, Venomancer-hydralisk, and many others), the textures have become much more pleasing to the eyes, and all the characters have an individual set of animations, all of which were extremely drawn in detail.
The voice acting, of course, from the first part is unlikely for anyone to be able to compare with the second, and if the gamer played Dota without moving to other, newer projects, precisely because of it, then even the system requirements will not lure him Dota 2, because the voice acting here is only in English, and even knowing it, it can hardly be compared.
Among other things, it is worth saying that some skills and artifacts began to work in a new way, and several heroes decided to rename. Therefore, do not be surprised if you suddenly do not find your favorite hero on the list, and then suddenly get a slap in the face from him. However, on the other hand, why cycle into some old characters if Valve is constantly releasing new ones, constantly updating the list of available heroes. Dota 2 teams are especially pleased about this, as the constant addition of new characters opens up more and more available strategies, and new heroes make these strategies less predictable.
Your every action can be used against you.
Could not do in the process of developing a new “DotA” and without the statistics of each individual player. Any victory or defeat - all this is taken into account and recorded. On the one hand, such statistics carry a large number of useful features, for example, helping clans or groups recruit experienced players, but on the other hand, many will play in random matches, where Dota 2 heroes are chosen for themselves, as a result of which Frequent losses are not uncommon. Such a constant reminder of a number of losses is unlikely to improve the mood of the game. And now the dry numbers:

It should also be noted that the system has also been updated by saving replays, which can then be viewed later in order to learn the game from your ally or opponent, see your own mistakes or just get material for another interesting video.
