Gold and items

Gold is one of the most important resources in DoTA2; it is a currency used to buy items and to revive your hero from its death instantly. Normally gold will be given to all players by 1 gold for every 0.66 seconds starting from 0.00 in the in-game clock. Gold can be gained in other several ways that are

-From killing enemy heroes

-From assisting in killing enemy heroes

-From killing all types of creep

-From destroying buildings

Time to buy some items

As I said before gold is used to buy items that help strengthen your hero. Each hero can carry and use up to 6 items at the same time these 6 slots are what we called "Inventory", moreover, 3 slots below the inventory are what we called "Backpack" if you put the item in there your item cannot be used

So, to buy the items you need to press the key "F4" to open to shop

After you open the shop you inspect the item you want to buy by hovering the mouse over the item to see its price and status that it gives you

Powerful items were mostly combined from small different items. After you acquire all of its items it will combine to that powerful item automatically
