DreaM Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 This is a DotA dictionary or terminology guide. Words will not be placed in alphabetic order and you'll excuse me for not doing it like that but i will first describe the terms and afterwards place them in alphabetic order once i have free time. Items Protectorate AC - Assault Curiass HoT - Heart of Terasque BkB - Black King's Bar Aegis - Aegis of the Immortal [the item you get from roshan ] SG/Shiva - Shiva's Guard BS - Bloodstone [it can be used for Bloodseeker but i will not in the end of the dictionary twinks] LS/Sphere - Linken's Sphere VG/Vang - Vanguard BM/Mail - Blade Mail SB/Booster - Soul Booster HoD/Hood - Hood of Defiance Arcane Sanctum GSV/Guinso/Scythe - Guinsoo Scythe of Vyse OM/Malevolence/Orchid - Orchid's Melovence ESD/Scepter/Eul - Eul's scepter of dvinity FS - Force Staff Necron/BOS[book of summoning] - Necromonicon AS/Scepter - Aghanim's Scepter [yes i know it means attack speed too but as i said in the end of the guide i'll note twinks] Refresher / Ref / RO - Refresher Orb Supportive Vestments Mekanism - Menkasm [yes ppl mistake it and say mekanism sometimes] VO/Vlad - Vladimir's Offering AR / Arcane - Arcane Ring NB/ Buckler - Nathrezim Buckler RoB/Basilius - Ring of Basilius Pipe/KPI - Khadar's Pipe of Insight HoR - Headdress of Rejuvenation Ancient Weaponry DR/Divine - Divine Rapier MkB - Monkey king Bar Radi - Radiance Bfly/Butter - The ButterFly BDK/Burize - Burize de kyanon CR/Basher - Cranium Basher BF/Fury - Battlefury MS/Manta - Manta Style AoM/AM/Armlet - Armlet of Moridiggian LE[very rarely used]/Lothar - Lothar's Edge Enchanted Artifacts SY/S/Y/S&Y - Sange and Yasha EoS/Skadi - Eye of Skadi HoM/Helm/Domi - Helm of the Dominator SD/Desolator - Stygian Desolator MoM/Mask - Mask of Madness DB/Diffusal - Diffusal Blade Gateway Relics BoT/Travel - Boots of Travel PB/Phase - Phase Boots PT - Power Threads HoM / Midas - Hand of Midas OS/Oblivion - Oblivion Staff Persv - Perseverance Heroes Now here i will not do the same as items i will just put those names of heroes which are somehow shortened Roof - Rooftrelen DK - Dragon Knight BS - BloodSeeker KOTL - Keeper of the light POTM/Mirana - Princess of the Moon Magna - Mangataur SK - Skeleton King SK/Crix - Crixallis or Sand king both are used. BM - Broodmother PA - phantom assasin PL - Phantom Lancer NW/Weaver - Nerubian Weaver NA - Nerbuian Assasin DP - Death Prophet TS - Tormented Soul QoP - Qeen of Pain altho ppl call it Akasha mostly Jugg - Obviously , Juggernaut CW/Cent - Centaur Warchief .... anything missed ? :) Misc/Terminology AS - Attack Speed MS - Movespeed HP - Health Points Inv - Inventory Jungling - Farming,grinding or also called killing the creeps which are placed in the woods Exp - Experience "I'll go exp" "I'll go level" Miss top/mid/down [name of hero] - Players usually say "miss" when a player is missing from their lane, for example im in top lane and i have as enemies tiny and potm so i say "miss potm top" if i know where he's going then i'll say : care - You say to someone care when you think that the person will get ganged for example if you are sure potm is going mid you'll say "Mid care" or : b - B means Back. Back is a demand and it's used to alert the players of your team used like "b mid" or when you push and your goal in your push or gang or raid is complteted you'll most likely say "team b" ss - SS is another way to say miss. Gang - Gang is a team action which is described like this. You and your team is gathered and you assault an enemy. To be more precise you and f.e a teammate backstab an enemy. me b shop/ b shop / shop - ppl usually leave lanes so they can visit the shop to buy things so they not their teammates by saying "b shop" or only "shop"... gg - gg means good game. People use it when you fight a duel 1v1 , after the duel ended they cheer the winner with GG. Also in the end of the game someone may say gg expressing his opinion on how the game went and to be more certain if someone says gg he just wants to say everything you or your team or someone else did was good. Good game mainly :). ng - ng on the other hand means noob game mostly used when the battle becomes 1 sided . feeder - a player most likely a newbie that doesn't controll his hero well and he lets the enemy kill him without any resistance , or going to enemy base without any serious reason bd - bd means backdoor or to be more certain backdooring means when you're attacking a tower or any other enemy base without any creeps around you.. for example if you go solo a tower it will be called bd and it's not really allowede altho if you are in enemy base soloing a tower while there is even 1 ally creep in their base its allowed. fb - first blood [first blood is the 1st kill registered in the dota map and as an award of doing a fb the one who did it gets a bonus of 250 gold] Ok so much for our mini dictionary if you think something's missing tell me and i'll add it Twinks : AS / MS / BS / SS [missed anything?] be sure to check what both of the twinks mean so you can be sure when someone use them what they reffer to. Thanks for reading this guide, DreaM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
