Unofficial role for the heroes

Aside from the official roles, there are also roles which the community of DoTA2 has created. Those roles are what we called " Unofficial Roles" and there are 5 of them. The first position is the most important to the team and should be prioritized in farming creeps, on the other hand, the fifth position requires only some small items to be useful

1.Carry
- Carry or the first position is the most important role in your team because this role is the key to your team's victory. Carry require a lot of gold and items, so all teammates should take care of your carry and make sure that they will not die.

2.Midlaner
- Midlaner or second position is a role that you go solo on the middle lane against the opposing Midlaner. This role has to gather as much experience and gold as possible in the early game, after that, Midlaner should go and help to gank the top and bottom lane. Heroes that can be played as Midlaner are Nuker, Pusher and Escape.

3.Offlane
- Offlane or third position is a role that you need to tank damage and provide some useful items for your teammates. Heroes that are suitable for this role usually be Durable and Initiator.

4. Soft support
- Soft support or fourth position is a role that also supports your team, but unlike hard support, this role does not have to spend their money on supporting items. They support their team by getting some useful items and help "ganking"(to form a group to kill enemies) enemies. Heroes that fits this role are also heroes that have some disabled abilities.

5. Hard support
- Hard support or fifth position is a role that you need to do everything to help your team. Unlike other roles, this role has to spend their gold to buy supporting items, for example, buying courier, buying wards, buying dust of appearance or babysitting your carry. Heroes that usually be the hard support roles are heroes that have disable abilities like stun, root, silence or the abilities to heal and save their teammates.
