a massive online battle arena game where you pick a hero from a plethora of unique and individual heros, doing battle in teams of five until your base or ancient is destroyed. moba's are actually hailed as the next step in strategy gaming and dota 2 is the latest in the venerable line that started with the origional dota mod for warcraft... that answer your question?
