Dota Commands & Dota Modes will be posted here. This guide is based on Dota-Allstars Commands Guide made by lookyman, some of the credit belong to him.

I. Basic information on game modes

* The desired game mode has to be entered before 15 seconds mark, otherwise Normal Mode is selected.
* First available player may enter these commands, checking the player list from the top.
* Game modes are entered in a single line with no separation, like "-dmaridsc", or alternatively, they can be entered separated from each other, with a hyphen (-) in front of each mode, such as "-dm -ar -id -sc".
* The order doesn't matter. The game will handle it or (in case of incorrect combination) give you another chance.

II. Primary game modes
* Only one of these can be selected.
* Incompatible secondary game modes are listed as well.

Normal Mode --> Team Pick

This mode is selected when no other primary mode is during the first 15 seconds. Players may pick heroes from taverns belonging to their team.

-allpick / -ap --> All Pick

Everyone may pick heroes from any tavern.

-allrandom / -ar --> All Random

Every player gets a random hero from any tavern.

Incompatible with: Reverse Mode.

Added in v6.28

-leaguemode / -lm --> League Mode

All forms of random are disabled. 10 players required. The teams will pick in alternating orders, one team picking one hero, the other team picks two heroes, the first team picks two heroes, the other team picks two heroes, the first team picks their two last heroes, the other team picks their last hero (1-2-2-2-2-1). Each player has 20 seconds to pick a hero, otherwise one is randomed for him/her. The team which has the first pick is random. Can only pick from your side, Sentinel or Scourge, like Normal Mode.

Incompatible with: All secondary game modes except Shuffle Players, No Swap, No Repick, Terrain Snow.
Added in v6.21

-randomdraft / -rd --> Random Draft

Needs an even amount of players on each team to be activated. Goblin Techies cannot be picked in this mode. 22 random heroes are picked from all available ones and placed into 2 taverns (available for both Sentinel and Scourge). The remaining heroes are removed, as well as the rest of the taverns. Players then pick from those two taverns like in League Mode.

Incompatible with: Mirror Match, Death Match, All Agility, All Intelligence, All Strength, Same Hero, Reverse Mode.
Added in v6.39

-voterandom / -vr --> Vote Random

Three random matchups will be chosen, and each player gets to cast a vote on which of the three matchups they want, using -option 1/2/3. Needs an even amount of players on each team to be activated.
Read the V. Vote Random commands section for more information.

Incompatible with: Mirror Match, Death Match, All Agility, All Intelligence, All Strength, Same Hero, Reverse Mode.
Added in v6.35

-extendedleague / -xl --> Extended League

-singledraft / -sd --> Single Draft

Each player is presented with three random heroes, one agility, one strength, and one intelligence. They can then pick one of them using -pick 1/2/3 commands.

Added in v6.50

-captainsmode / -cm -> Captains Mode
Blue and Pink are the team captains. You start by alternating 1/1/1 in the ban phase. Each captain removes up to 4 heroes. Running out of time does not result in a random hero ban. After that you enter the 1/2/2/ pick phase. Each captain picks the heroes his team will use. If at any time you run out of time, you start to use up your extra time. If you run out and you are in pick phase, you get a random hero. Creeps spawn 90 seconds after the pick draft phase is over. Right after the hero pick phase ends, the 5 heroes for your team are presented with a checkmark on them (RD style) allowing players on your team to pick which one they want to be. The captain that starts this process is random. If you want to give the starting to Sentinel, type -cm 1 or -cm 2 for Scourge after the game mode is entered. Ban time is 40 seconds, pick time is 60 seconds and extra time is 45 seconds.
Read the VII. CAPTAINS MODE COMMANDS section for more information.

Incompatible with: All secondary game modes.
Added in v6.55

-cd / -CaptainsDraft -> Captain Draft

24 Heroes are randomly allocated in a circle (like RD). The 24 consist of 8 random Intelligence/Agility/Strength heroes, sorted in that order along the circle.

Each team has a total time bank of 2.5 minutes. Blue/Pink draft the heroes for their entire team.

Blue and Pink start off by alternating 1/1/1/1 ban picks.
It then goes into a 1/2/2/2/2/1 hero draft.

Once a hero picks/bans a hero, it immediately switches to the other player to act.
Your timer is shown in read when it is your turn to act.

Incompatible with: All secondary game modes.
Added in v6.60

III. Secondary game modes

* Any number of these can be selected along with primary mode, however there are multiple restrictions (listed below).

-deathmatch / -dm --> Death Match

If you die, you will have to pick a new hero once you can respawn. If a random primary mode was selected, you will receive a hero according to that random mode. A team loses if it has 44 deaths (you can change this value with -lives # command), or if its ancient is destroyed.
Read the VI. Death Match commands section for more information.

Incompatible with: All Intelligence, All Agility, All Strength, Reverse Mode, Same Hero, Mirror Match.
