One of the advantages of the game Dota 2 is a wide variation in customization. With the help of console codes, and sometimes even cheats, it is possible to adapt the game to the desire of even the most overzealous players. In our article we will talk about cheats, console commands, and also explain how to enter them.
Types of cheats in Dota 2
Cheats in Dota 2 can cover a wide range of functions, from automatically chasing targets to increasing your character's movement speed. Here are some of the most common types of cheats:
Hero Cheats: These cheats usually include features that improve a hero's abilities, such as auto-cast abilities or automatically using items at the right time. Some cheats may also provide information about the location of enemies or automatically apply items to increase the effectiveness of fights.
Item cheats: These cheats are aimed at speeding up the acquisition of items and improving their effects. For example, cheats can automatically buy items from a merchant or optimize their use in battle.
Visual cheats: These cheats change the visual presentation of the game by making certain objects or game elements more prominent or visible. For example, they can highlight enemy heroes through walls or provide additional map information.
Camera Control Cheats: These cheats allow players to get a wider view of the playing field, change the position of the camera outside of the allowed limits, or automatically move it to track the movement of opponents.
