How will you play?

Each player will control a hero. You will be focusing in leveling up, getting gold, buying items and fight against the opponent team to achieve victory. You will actually get gold per second. You can also get gold and exp by killing lane creeps, neutral creeps (found in the jungle), heroes, opponent team's courier, enemy heroes and destroying towers. Courier is someone that will deliver items in the game, you need to buy it using your gold. When killing creeps, you can only get gold by getting the last hit of the creep. By getting last hits, you can recieve gold and exp faster. When Killing a hero, you will get more gold and exp than the one who assist you in killing the hero. After you destroy a tower or killing a courier, the money will go to all heroes in the team, but the one who do the last hits recieves more gold.
