This Dota 2 quiz helps you sharpen hero abilities, item builds, and map awareness with 15 quick multiple-choice questions. Check your score, learn a tip or two, then try a League of Legends quiz, a CSGO quiz, or a TF2 quiz to compare your esports knowledge.

What is the primary role of a support hero in Dota 2?
To secure farm and become the late-game carry
To jungle exclusively and avoid lanes
To build only damage items and split-push
To provide vision, crowd control, and utility for the team
Support heroes ensure team success by placing wards for vision, using disables to control fights, and providing healing or mana. They sacrifice personal farm and prioritize utility items over gold generation.
Which action grants gold and experience only to the player performing it?
Killing an enemy hero tower
Last-hitting a neutral creep
Placing an Observer Ward
Denying an allied creep
Last-hitting any creep grants full gold and experience to the hero who deals the killing blow. Other nearby allies share experience but do not receive gold from the last hit.
What is the primary purpose of an Observer Ward?
Reveal an area of the map for vision
Provide true sight to reveal invisible units
Deal magical damage to enemy creeps
Heal allied heroes in its vicinity
Observer Wards grant unobstructed vision of a specific area, allowing teams to track enemy movements. They do not provide true sight against invisible units.
What happens when a team destroys the enemy Ancient?
The destroying team immediately wins the game
All heroes lose half their gold
Roshan respawns at half health
The enemy respawn timers increase by 30 seconds
Destroying the enemy Ancient is the primary win condition in Dota 2, immediately ending the match. All other objectives serve to facilitate reaching and destroying the Ancient.
Which of the following abilities is a single-target disable?
Sunstrike
Tidebringer
Bramble Maze
Lion's Hex
Lion's Hex transforms a single enemy unit into a frog, disabling them. The other abilities are either area-of-effect or direct damage spells.
Which hero is generally considered a direct counter to Phantom Assassin due to armor reduction?
Spectre
Slardar
Medusa
Storm Spirit
Slardar's Corrosive Haze reduces the armor of a single target significantly, making Phantom Assassin's high physical resistance less effective. This allows Slardar and his team to burst her down more easily.
Which item is most cost-effective for an offlane hero seeking survivability?
Vanguard
Power Treads
Eye of Skadi
Assault Cuirass
Vanguard provides a reliable block chance and additional health, making it very effective for early survivability in the offlane. It helps tank incoming creep and hero damage.
Where is a common advanced ward placement to monitor the Roshan pit?
On the high ground near the river directly above the pit
At the Radiant safe lane Tier 3 tower
Inside the Dire fountain
Behind the enemy's Tier 1 mid tower
Placing an Observer Ward on the high ground just above the Roshan pit provides vision of Roshan's area, allowing teams to contest or sneak the fight. Other locations do not grant clear pit vision.
In a team composition, which role is responsible for initiating fights with disables?
Initiator
Carry
Sniper
Support
Initiators have abilities or items that start teamfights by stunning or disabling multiple enemies, creating space for their team. Carries and supports may follow but are not primary initiators.
What is the effect of denying an allied creep?
Spawns a new neutral creep
Grants gold to the denying hero
Prevents the enemy from gaining full gold and XP
Increases the allied creep's damage
Denying an allied creep reduces the gold and experience that the enemy would receive from the last hit. It also slightly reduces the shared experience for all heroes in the lane.
How does Black King Bar (BKB) interact with silences?
BKB reflects silences back to the caster
BKB only blocks stuns, not silences
BKB blocks silences when activated, preventing their effects
BKB duration is extended if you are silenced before activation
When activated, BKB grants spell immunity, which prevents most disables including silences. This allows you to cast spells and items unhindered during its duration.
Which item is typically optimal for pushing and siege?
Radiance
Butterfly
Daedalus
Desolator
Desolator reduces the armor of enemy units and structures, increasing physical damage dealt. This makes it ideal for taking down towers quickly during pushes.
What does using a Smoke of Deceit accomplish?
Makes your team invisible to enemy wards and heroes within range
Grants true sight around your hero
Increases your hero's attack speed by 50%
Teleports your team to the allied fountain
Smoke of Deceit makes allied heroes within its radius invisible to enemy wards and hero vision, enabling safe rotations or ganks. It does not grant true sight or speed buffs.
Which team attribute is most critical in a balanced lineup lacking crowd control?
Strong area-of-effect disables and stuns
Only pure damage output
High mobility to dodge spells
Low cooldown farming abilities
A team missing crowd control must include heroes or items that provide AoE stuns or slows to compensate. This ensures they can lock down opponents in fights.
Which of Brewmaster's abilities is especially effective at clearing illusions?
Drunken Haze
Thunder Clap
Earth Splitter
Primal Split
Thunder Clap deals area-of-effect damage and a speed slow, rapidly killing low-health illusions. The other abilities are either single-target or less effective against multiple units.
If facing a heavy magical damage lineup, which item choice on a carry would best mitigate incoming burst?
Desolator
Butterfly
Divine Rapier
Black King Bar
Black King Bar grants spell immunity, effectively blocking most magical spells and burst damage for its duration. Other items focus on evasion or damage but do not provide magic immunity.
At 5 minutes into the game, which location should you watch to detect early enemy rotations in the safe triangle?
Your mid lane near the enemy Secret Shop
Opposing offlane's Tier 1 tower
Enemy safe lane pull camp entrance
Roshan pit entry from river
A ward at the entrance to the enemy safe lane pull camp reveals both supports leaving the lane to gank and any jungling movements. This timing is common around 5 minutes.
Against an opponent focusing on split-push and high mobility, which team composition element is most valuable?
High-damage single-target carries
Only melee heroes to match HP
Multiple global or semi-global initiation tools
Pure support heroes with no mobility
Global or semi-global initiation (like Nature's Prophet ulti or Spectre's Haunt) allows your team to catch split-pushers wherever they are. This counters mobility-based split strategies.
In an Ember Spirit versus Morphling matchup, which ability interaction is crucial for Ember to secure kills?
Casting Flame Guard to amplify Morphling's illusion damage
Timing Searing Chains before Morphling uses Adaptive Strike
Using Sleight of Fist to dodge Morphling's Waveform
Using Fire Remnant to reduce Morphling's strength
Searing Chains stuns and roots Morphling, preventing him from using Adaptive Strike or Waveform to escape. Proper timing locks him down for follow-up damage.
During midgame, when your team can either take down Tier 2 towers or contest Roshan, which factor should weigh most heavily in your decision?
The number of Courier kills achieved
The net worth of the enemy offlaner
The cooldown of your team's Bounty Runes
Whether you have vision control around the Roshan pit
Vision control around the Roshan pit is critical for safely contesting or taking Roshan. Without wards, you risk getting caught by the enemy or losing the fight entirely.

Learning Outcomes

  1. Analyse hero abilities and matchups to improve gameplay decisions
  2. Identify optimal item builds for different Dota 2 roles
  3. Apply map awareness techniques to anticipate enemy movements
  4. Evaluate team compositions for balanced strategies
  5. Demonstrate knowledge of key in-game mechanics and objectives

Cheat Sheet

  1. Hero & Item Synergy - Mix and match your hero's kit with the perfect gear to unleash epic combos and dominate fights. For example, pairing rapid attackers with Maelstrom's chain lightning turns every right-click into a destructive storm.
  2. Counter-Picking Mastery - Outsmart your foes by choosing heroes that naturally shut down their strengths and thrive in their weaknesses. Picking Anti-Mage against magic-heavy teams can leave enemy casters powerless and hungry for mana.
  3. Role-Specific Item Builds - Tailor your shopping list to your hero's role and playstyle for maximum impact on the battlefield. Carries love Power Treads and Battle Fury to farm faster, while supports benefit from mana and vision items to keep the team in check.
  4. Map Awareness & Warding - See everything before they see you by placing wards in key locations and de-warding enemy vision. Good vision spells safety for your team and pressure on the opponent's jungle.
  5. Team Composition Balance - Craft a lineup that covers carries, supports, and initiators for a flexible strategy that adapts to any in-game twist. A well-rounded squad can push, defend, and counter-gank with ease.
  6. Core Mechanics Fundamentals - Nail last-hitting, denying, and creep equilibrium to secure an early gold and XP advantage. These basics are the cornerstone of every high-level performance.
  7. Mid-Game Build Adaptation - Stay nimble by adjusting your item path to counter enemy threats or amplify your team's strengths as the match evolves. The right situational pick can swing a clash in your favor.
  8. Situational Item Awareness - Recognize when to grab defensive items like Pipe of Insight or Crimson Guard to nullify incoming damage types. Smart buys frustrate the enemy and buy your team crucial survival time.
  9. Objective Control & Roshan - Time your pushes around Roshan's respawn and secure the Aegis for a momentum-boosting advantage. Owning key objectives often dictates the pace of the entire game.
  10. Team Communication & Coordination - Keep the chatter active and concise to synchronize ganks, defenses, and ultimate combos. A well-timed ping or quick voice cue can flip a team fight.
