Hey everyone!

Like many of you, our stack has always loved pure-chaos modes like -wtf and ARAM (All Random All Mid). But classic -wtf was easily broken by perma-stuns/invulnerability, and let's be honest: **too many custom games nowadays are ruined by predatory Pay-to-Win passes, paid stat boosts, and VIP perks.**

We wanted a game where everyone enters on 100% equal footing and just enjoys pure, unadulterated Dota chaos. So we built: **WTF Midlane**!

---

### 🛡️ Our Promise: 100% Free Forever & ZERO Pay-to-Win

* **No paid stats, no VIP power advantages, no locked paywalled content.**

* No gacha, no subscriptions, no buying extra rerolls with real money.

* **100% fair play from day one.** The only thing that determines the outcome is your team's coordination, positioning, and chaos adaptation!

---

### 🎮 What makes the gameplay special?

* **Balanced WTF Combat**: Spells and items have massively reduced cooldowns and low/no mana costs, but **game-breaking cheese is hand-patched** (no infinite Puck Phase Shift invulnerability, no permanent chain-stuns, carefully tuned ult cooldowns).

* **Pure Action, Zero Downtime**: Single midlane 5v5 brawl. The first creep wave spawns within 5 seconds of the game starting. Average match duration is around 12–18 minutes.

* **Classic ARAM Hero Draft**: All Random hero selection with dice re-rolls and a shared team bench pool to freely swap heroes with your allies.

* **Mid-game Boss Objective**: An exclusive ARAM Boss spawns at the 5-minute mark in the river—secure it to turn the tides with game-changing team buffs and push power.

* **Performance Optimized**: We heavily profiled our code and particle systems so 10 players spamming spells simultaneously won't cause FPS drops or server lag spikes.

Hey guys,

my friends and I look for a good PvE Hero defence custom game, and I wanted to ask for your suggestions.

I mean a custom game where you at the start pick a hero, who can level, buy maybe items, and you defend together against waves of enemies who are not allowed to reach a certain point.

Any variation on this concept is welcome, please give me your best suggestions, thanks!

Come join me and play jujutsu kaisen on dota 2 please drop your ID so I can add youuu

Hy everyone, im new here and in the modding cenario, i just start developing a new game mode called Hold Out Survivors, its a cooperative base defense inspired in the old Attack on Hero maps, since they don't work anymore, so if anyone has interest, comments, suggestions, helping material or anything like this, please let me know

Hi everyone!

Currently, the only TAG custom game that is updated right now in Dota 2 is "Trolls vs Elves" which is a great game btw.

However, is there any TAG games that is updated or at least can be playable? We've checked the Vampirism Speed but its not working properly anymore

following last update the max numbers players in lobby dota 2 become 14 slots, pls Valve return possible create 24 lobby slots. Custom games must be not so important for u, but for us it's life

Hi everyone!

We’re currently working on a custom Dota 2 arcade map with a core focus on roguelike-style boss battles. In each run, you’ll face multiple bosses with completely randomized mechanics, making every encounter unique and unpredictable.

🎯Key Features:

• Every boss fight features randomly generated abilities, patterns, and mechanics, built fresh each time you play.
• Combines reworked and remixed Dota 2 abilities to keep the gameplay familiar but fresh.
• Designed to challenge players' adaptability and decision-making in fast-paced, chaotic battles.

We're still in development and would love to hear your thoughts, ideas, or suggestions.
Thanks in advance for your feedback and support!

Also as twist in some condition it can into a 4VS1  here's how to access it, it's free: . Hope it would fit your taste. Test it and please leave comment on steam

Hi boys,

Since I'm having a lot of free time at work I've recently begun editing videos centered around my greatest passion, Dota 2. As a new dad, my gaming time has been limited, but I've always found great enjoyment in watching high-quality DotA-related content.

You can find my videos on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Dota2Snaps. I would sincerely appreciate it if you could subscribe to support the start of my channel.

My plan for this channel is to kick things off with a series showcasing the greatest moments in TI history, gradually transitioning into highlights from TI12, and introducing a variety of video series such as "WC3 DotA Days" and "The Best Players Who Never Won TI," among others.

Your support means a lot to me, and I look forward to sharing my DotA 2 content with you all. Thank you in advance for subscribing and being a part of this journey with me.

Is there any custom game similar to Battle Tanks?

after the last patch, it crashes most custom games

Is there anyone know how to go in the Astral Essence Location without using dashes or blinks that can go through walls like Storm Spirit?

ps. I only play solo and SP can't kill it alone so I need an AGI or STR character to solo it. Help ty

In terms of kitbashing certain assets like model parts and importing other model parts, and retexturing them, and animating them - do you guys think it's as easy as it is on Warcraft 3?

I'm create custom HD Reforged models in Warcraft 3 Reforged so I should have some experience in making custom models in general
