Pos / Position:

Pos, short for position, is Dota 2’s role shorthand for a hero’s job on the team, usually grouped from position 1 to position 5. The numbers roughly describe priority for farm and resources, with position 1 typically taking the most gold and position 5 the least.

The term is used in drafting, lane assignments, and team strategy to show who is expected to carry, support, or enable the team. It helps players understand responsibilities such as farming, warding, initiating, and protecting allies.
