The minimap is a HUD element that represents the game map on a smaller scale. It displays in real time the location and status of buildings, heroes, creeps, couriers and wards. The minimap is subject to team vision, with unseen areas covered by the fog of war. Certain events and Terrain items can alter the appearance of the minimap.
Settings
These settings can be changed in the game options.
- Location: Changes the minimap to display on the bottom left or bottom right of the interface.
- Simple Colors: Uses a single color for all heroes on the same team.
- Hide Background: Hides graphical background on the minimap, and displays only essential game elements like heroes, couriers, buildings, wards, and creeps.
- Simple Background: Replaces graphical background on the minimap by simple background. Turned on by default.
- Draw Hero Icons: When holding ALT, displays hero icons instead of hero names.
- Always Use Icons/Names: Permanently displays hero icons and names instead of arrows and Os.

Scanning
Players can use the Scan ability on the right of the minimap UI to detect any enemy heroes in an area.
Controls
- Right Click anywhere on the minimap will command the hero to move to that location. However, there is a delay of 0.2 seconds, where clicks will not be registered. This is to prevent miss-clicks.
- Left Click on the minimap while using Town Portal Scroll or Boots of Travel will teleport the hero to the specified location's nearest allied building.
- Ground-targeted abilities, such as Wrath of Nature, can be cast by clicking on the minimap.
Pinging
Sending a ‼ Ping notification to your team mates.
- Alt+ Left Click
- On the minimap will alert your team about a location by ▶️ playing a sound and showing an ‼ Ping exclamation mark on their minimap.
- On buildings will play a different sound depending on the building's alliance, and generally mean a ▶️ defense or ▶️ attack of the building is desired.
- On enemy heroes will play the same sound as on enemy buildings, typically to announce the desire to attack.
- Ctrl+Alt+ Left Click on the minimap will alert your team by ▶️ playing a different sound and showing an ✖ Ping (Danger) on their minimap, generally indicating danger.
Drawing
Ctrl+ Left Click+⤓ Hold while moving your cursor over the minimap will draw lines on the minimap. These lines can be seen by all allied players, and their color corresponds to the color of the player. Lines will fade after a few seconds.
Console Commands
There are several console commands that can be used to modify the minimap in various ways to match an individual player's preferences. Some of the commonly used ones are shown below.
Command | Default | Help Text |
---|---|---|
dota_hud_extra_large_minimap 0 |
0 | Use extra large minimap. |
dota_minimap_hero_size |
600 | Changes the hero minimap icon size. |
dota_minimap_misclick_time |
0.2 | Minimum time after the mouse enters the minimap before accepting a move command. Can be increased slightly to prevent accidental misclicks. |
dota_minimap_ping_duration |
3 | Adjust how long pings are displayed on the minimap. |
dota_minimap_disable_rightclick |
0 | Disables right clicks on the minimap. |
dota_minimap_creep_scale |
