Skill
Skill refers to a hero's ability in Dota 2, which can be either active or passive. Active skills must be cast manually and are aimed at enemies, allies, or areas. Passive skills work automatically and enhance a hero’s attributes or behavior. Each hero has a unique set of skills that defines their playstyle and team role.
Additionally, the word skill also means a player's level of proficiency. A high-skill player is someone with strong game knowledge, quick reactions, and good decision-making.
