BUFF explained — and why you Dota fans need it

It’s time to get the team together — that is, if you aren’t already destroying creeps and towers on your way to victory. You Dota fans are some of the most dedicated gamers out there, and that’s one big reason you should be introduced to a new opportunity to level up. No, not your hero, but your Dota experience as a whole.

Whether your strategy is charging up the top, maintaining a solo mid, going on the offensive down the hard lane or clearing out the jungle before launching a full-on assault with your entire team of heroes, defeating enemies along the way earns you the gold that’s crucial to buying the items that keep your hero competitive as the match evolves. But there’s a new way to get value out your time playing Dota. It’s called BUFF and its scope goes well beyond the gold you get killing creeps.

That’s because BUFF rewards you with a form of virtual currency called BUFF tokens. Unlike the Dota gold for purchasing hero items (protect your couriers!), BUFF tokens can be spent on all kinds of items even after the match is over. What’s more, the tokens you earn playing Dota can be spent on items or upgrades in other games as well.

So, if you like to bridge the divide between League of Legends and Dota gamers, enjoying both the in-depth strategy of Dota and the comparative simplicity of League, you can earn BUFF playing one and spend it in the other. But we won’t solve the question of which is better here, so let’s move on to the most important practical point about BUFF: How do you get it?

Well, BUFF is seamless — you won’t even notice it’s active while you carry on your match as usual. BUFF works quietly in the background, automatically rewarding you in amounts that depend on victories, losses, achievements, upgrades, unlocks and in other games just for progressing through a story-line or campaign. That means you can earn real-value currency just for gaming like you already are. In fact, BUFF can even be exchanged online for various cryptocurrencies or dollars and euros if you haven’t made the leap to crypto yet.

And there’s one other way to get BUFF tokens right away, and that is to join BUFF for its ICO. What is an ICO? For all intents and purposes, an ICO is a crowdfunding strategy used to develop a product that’s quickly gaining popularity among new technological businesses. For you, that means you can get BUFF tokens right away by purchasing them.

Your contribution will help BUFF grow to include a wider variety of games. In fact, let the BUFF team know which games you want to see BUFF integrated into (it must be a game of skill) and they’ll take your input into consideration moving forward.

Purchasing BUFF tokens through the ICO can also be seen as a form of investment, as they support a full ecosystem of supply and demand. With healthy demand, their worth may rise in the future like any real-world currency, which would put early contributors in the best position to benefit. Your skillful assaults on the enemy Ancient just got a lot more interesting.
