Dota IMBA is a custom game played on a regular Dota 2 map, with 10, 12, or 20 players in a variety of maps and game modes. There are four unique game modes available for Dota IMBA, each of which has their own customizable game rules and mechanics.

Gameplay[]

  • The goal of the game is to destroy the enemy ancient.
  • Buildings and Towers receive new abilities, all of which upgrade whenever a building on the owner's team falls.
  • Gold and experience gain from creeps and structures ranges from 130%-400% of their normal values (depending on the mode played);
  • Runes have been reworked and each have a unique ability, some affect nearby teammates.
  • Roshan has been entirely reworked with added skills and stat changes to remain a difficult challenge
    • Respawn time has been reduced, and drops Roshlings that drop cheese on death
  • Heroes available in Dota IMBA are divided into 2 categories:
    • IMBA Heroes: Heroes with (IMBA) at the end of their names. These heroes have their skill sets modified, additional properties are denoted in orange.
    • Lazy Heroes: Heroes that only received value changes or minor imbafication to their skills.
  • Items have been changed in a similar manner:
    • Some items have new properties, some have their attribute values changed;
