How to Use the In-game HUD
A – The Minimap
- You can click-and-hold locations here to see what’s going on in that location.
- If you do a single click on a location in the minimap your hero will start walking to that location.
- Heros with a Blue circle are allies, heroes with a Red circle are enemies.
- You can only see enemies on the minimap if you vision of them.
B – The Match Timer
- This tells you how long you’ve been playing.
- At specific times during the match certain objectives become available, so it’s important keep an eye on the match time.
C – Death Timers
- This allows you to see who, on both teams, are alive and dead.
- Dead heroes will have a timer on their icon which counts down to the time they will respond.
D – Social Pings
- These will help you communicate with your team. Only your team will see these Pings.
- The Green directional ping says “Go here!”
- The Yellow caution ping says “Be careful over here!”
- The Blue directional ping says “I’m going to this location.”
- The White directional ping says “Rally on this location!”
- The Purple text box opens a dropdown which contains a handful of pre-written text messages that can be helpful in a bind.
E – Your in-game stats
- First number is your Gold count.
- Then you have your Kills/Deaths/Assists counter.
- Lastly you have your creep score. This increases by 1 for every 4 gold you earn.
F – Settings
- The magnifying glass will zoom-in or zoom-out.
- The camera will allow you have the camera either locked onto your hero or not locked to your hero (free cam).
- The gear wheel will open the Settings menu. From here you can change various settings including removing the magnifying glass and the free/locked camera option.
G
- Teleport/Recall – This will teleport you back to base so you can shop and heal.
- ‘?’ – Shows you stats for your hero which update in real-time. Also contains info about your hero’s abilities.
- Scoreboard – This will show you stats for everyone in the match including Team gold count, total kills, and other useful info.
- Shop – This contains all items available to increase your heroes stats. You can only make item purchases at the base or jungle shops.

- These give you vision. Plant them carefully in places where you normally don’t have vision.
I – Abilities
- You can unlock one ability every time you level up. Each hero has abilities specific to them only.
- Click and hold an ability to see what it does and how to use it.
J – Healing Flask
- This restores some of your health. Use it if your health is low in a fight! But be careful, it has a long cooldown.
