What is Legends of DotA? (LoD):
Legends of DotA, or in short, LoD, is a DotA modification. It allows you to pick and mix skills from the original DotA map as you like. You can pick almost every combination you can think of, there are almost no limits - you can create new heroes within a few clicks and play with them!Ever imagined playing a hero with over 900 range? Just pick Sniper's and Lanaya's range increase skills and you're good to go! There are countless possibilities!
To remove the fact that hotkeys overlay, we recommend using AHT - AucT's Hotkey Tool. It allows you to have more than 1 spell on the same hotkey while not forcing you to click spells.
NOTE: There is no AI support.
