Cheat codes for training and fun in Dota 2

Cheats can be used in practice games to test various settings. They can be enabled in lobbies in the settings. This setting allows players to use various chat commands and grants shared control over bot heroes.

Besides this, the player can also enable cheats via the console with the sv_cheats 1 command. A lot of console commands require this command before working, even when the player turned cheats on in the lobby settings.

These cheats are approved by Valve for testing purposes and their use will not result in penalties. Using third party modifications in-game however, will result in a ban.
