Overthrow

Overthrow
Overthrow is a quick fight to the death in a small team free-for-all as players try to earn enough kills to win the match before the timer expires. Gather a friend or two, or go it alone as you stalk near the Midas Throne, which increases the gold and experience gains of nearby heroes. Snatch Gold Coins as they appear, or head out to claim an item delivery.

Overthrow is a ten-player custom game with four different map settings. It was released with the Dota 2 Reborn beta, and is the first official custom game made by Valve.

Gameplay

• Each player starts out in a small base at the edge of the map. Each base has a shop and a secret shop, an indestructible tower and a fountain.
• In the middle of the map is the Midas Throne, around the edges is a river with rune locations, and some high ground walking paths.
  • Players near the Midas Throne receive faster gold and experience gains. There is a circle around the Midas Throne denoting the effective area. Once you are in the circle your increase is initiated. Being within the circle's perimeter is sufficient; a hero will not gain more by being closer to the center versus being at the outside edge of the circle.
• The Over Boss sits atop the Midas Throne, and throws out giant coins.
  • Picking up the coin gives 300 gold.
• Killing the top rated player or a player in the leading team (the leader(s)) rewards a bonus 500 gold.
• Some rune locations have a group of zombies with them. They deal 32 damage, have 250 health, 3 armor and 120 movement speed. These zombies will keep following you around the map. They give 20-35 gold when killed
• All players gain vision of the area around each rune spot.

Maps

• This game mode comes with 5 different maps. Each map has different team arrangements.

Map	Teams	Kill Goal
Forest	Solo/Free for all	25
Desert	2v2v2v2v2	30
Mines	3v3v3	30
Temple	4v4v4v4	50
Desert Quintiple	5v5v5	50

Item Deliveries

• Items are randomly delivered on the map.
• Delivery locations are indicated on the minimap with an icon.
• The fewer kills a team has, the better the item that team will receive from a delivery.
• Once the item arrives, a Flamebreak knockback is applied on the landing area.

Objective

• On the Forest map, the first player who reaches the goal number of kills wins.
• On team maps, the team with the most kills when the round ends wins.
• If there is a tie at the end of a round, the game enters Sudden Death mode.
  • The team/player that then gains 1 more point than the current highest team/player will win.
  • This means all players can still win, and not only the players that were tied at the end of the game.

Restrictions

• Some heroes and items cannot be used in Overthrow.

Disabled heroes Lone Druid Bloodseeker Meepo Pugna Undying

Disabled items Dagon

Tips

• Items can be shared with your teammates and be sold at shop.
• Use heroes with high nuking and escape potentials and can sustain long periods of battle without dying. Examples are Queen of Pain and Storm Spirit.
• Don't use heroes that rely on sheer item power or dependence on other creeps. Examples are Chen.
• Abilities like Song of the Siren and Chronosphere can help you set up an easy item snatch.
• Spell immunity can prevent the item delivery knockback.
• Waiting out a battle and stealing the kills inside of it is a great strategy. Very little resources used and kills obtained.
