Dota : New Game Mode - CP (Capture Mode)

Source : Garena Forum and Dota Allstars


Implemented a new mode for observers -zm (-zoommode). It pulls the camera outwards to see more action at the same time. 

Implemented a new game mode -cp ( -capturepoint ) 


This game mode requires more teamwork and coordination than you might expect from your usual funmode. 


After 10 minutes, 6 capture points appear at fixed locations around the map. Once the capture points are created, those areas are permanently visible to both teams for the rest of the game.


To capture a point, you have to be standing on it for a certain a mount of time. The more heroes standing on it the faster you gain control over it. There cannot be any enemy heroes at a point you are trying to capture. With 5 heroes it requires 12.5 seconds to capture ( 60 for just 1 hero ). Heroes cannot be invisible while on a capture point area. Illusions do not count as heroes when on top of a Capture Point. 


There are 3 types of capture points, if you get 2 of the same type then they stack. Duplicates of each type are available on opposite sides of the map. 


The game announces when an enemy captures a point. It is also visible on the minimap which areas youhave captured and which areas the enemy has. When you capture a point, your teams heroes gain bonuses to various attributes (described below)




  • Combat - CP Type 1 [Bonus Damage/Armor]: Increases your Damage by 14 and Armor by 4 (Twice of each if you have both)
  • Regen - CP Type 2 [Bonus Health/Mana Regeneration]: Increases your Health Regeneration by 4 and Mana Regeneration by 1
  • Speed - CP Type 3 [Bonus Movement/Attack Speed]: Increases your Movement Speed by 4% and Attack Speed by 12%

If you have two of the same type, you get twice the bonus. For example,if you have both Combat you get 28 bonus damage and 8 bonus armor.

When ever your team captures or recaptures a point, all allied heroes in that area will get healed for 200 hp/mp, gain 150 bonus gold and bonus xp ( 4 creeps worth )
