How is it played? Two teams must try to eliminate the opposing team on a map and protect their own base.
Players select one of several heroes. The team must then strategize their approach through various paths (lanes) to reach and destroy the enemy base while ensuring their own headquarters is protected.
On the way to the enemy, players encounter monsters lurking on the map. These yield gold, which can be used to purchase items during a match. They also provide important buffs.
