Minimap dota 2
Minimap
The minimap is a HUD element that represents the game map on a smaller scale. It displays in real time the location and status of buildings, heroes, creeps, couriers and wards. The minimap is subject to team vision, with unseen areas covered by the fog of war. Certain events and Terrain items can alter the appearance of the minimap.

Controls [ edit ]
- Right clicking anywhere on the minimap will command the hero to move to that location. However, there is a delay of 0.2 seconds, where clicks will not be registered. This is to prevent missclicks.
- Ground-target abilities, such as Wrath of Nature , can be cast by clicking on the minimap.
- Clicking on the minimap while using Town Portal Scroll or Boots of Travel will teleport the hero to the specified location’s nearest allied building.
Pinging [ edit ]
- Alt + Left Clicking on the minimap will alert your team about a location by Link▶️ playing a sound and showing an exclamation mark on their minimap.
- Clicking buildings will play a different sound depending on the building’s alliance, and generally mean a Link▶️ defense / Link▶️ attack of the building is desired.
- Clicking enemy heroes will play the same sound as on enemy buildings, typically to announce the desire to attack.
- Ctrl + Alt + Left Clicking on the minimap will alert your team by Link▶️ playing a different sound and showing an X on their minimap, generally indicating danger.
Drawing [ edit ]
Holding down both Ctrl and the left mouse button while moving your cursor over the minimap will draw lines on the minimap. These lines can be seen by all allied players, and their color corresponds to the color of the player. Lines will fade after a few seconds.
Console Commands [ edit ]
There are several console commands that can be used to modify the minimap in various ways to match an individual player’s preferences. Some of the commonly used ones are shown below.
