In League of Legends players need to level up their summoner to level 30.

As summoner level increases, players will unlock summoner spells, runes, and masteries. Is there a similar system in DOTA 2? And if so, how does it work?

Is there something that you need to grind to unlock it in DOTA 2?

    Besides some game modes (progressively but quite fast), ranked matchmaking (level 13) and rarity of random drops to prevent farming (you are eligible for arcana - the rarest category - at level 7 I think), leveling up only gives you a guaranteed item drop.

  • There's a lot of basic questions you're asking here. I'd recommend doing some research on your own before asking here.

  • @Frank all my questions are made after searching question in other resources. Also as much I search as many question arises. Some answers I found myself but some needs to be asked. And I am not aware of any restrictions about the number of questions asked at stackexchange sites.

  • There is no restriction; we won't stop you from asking more. What can happen, though, is a lot of downvotes. We don't mind helping, but we do expect you to attempt to help yourself, first.

  • @Frank I agree with you that user must search first and only after ask question here. I did research on every question before asking here. But I dont understand why to down vote only because "there is to much questions". Also I understand that for experienced users it becoming difficult to understand why newcomer is asking too mach basic questions. Downvoting only because to much questions harms the idea of sharing knowledge. I also understand you particularly may not downvoting my questions but are giving me information why others may downvote my questions. Anyway thank you for advice.

No. A level 1 'player' in Dota2 has no locks or restrictions on in-game heroes, abilities, items, or anything else that affects gameplay. A professional player could use a brand new account with no meaningful effect on performance.

Low-level accounts are unable to play some of the more advanced modes, mostly in an attempt to counteract smurfing. These modes will be unlocked reasonably quickly as you play.

    I don't think game modes restrictions counter smurfing as All Pick is available from the very beginning

    @T_O Aware, but Captain's games and Ranked are limited for a while, which is where most boosting/smurfing would otherwise occur.
