DPS

DPS is an abbreviation for "Damage Per Second". A term used in DotA Allstars to refer to the amount of damage that a hero or unit inflicts on an enemy per second.

Calculating DPS

In DotA Allstars each unit and hero has a unique DPS that is not shown. DPS must be calculated manually and is different towards each unit/hero for 3 reasons:

Each Hero has unique Damage Reduction and Magic Reduction
Each unit has varying Auras which will affect the attacker's DPS
Each unit has unique Regeneration which will lessen the DPS

The proper formula for calculating DPS is as shown below:

D/T = X

Where D = Damage Inflicted, T = Time Spent Attacking, and X = Damage Per Second
This means that 99 damage inflicted over 3 seconds results in a DPS average of 33. (99/3 = 33)
