DPS means damage per second, a measure of how much damage a hero, spell, or attack can deal over time. In Dota 2, it is used to describe sustained damage output, especially from heroes that rely on repeated attacks or frequent spell casts rather than one-time bursts.
The term helps compare how quickly different heroes can wear down enemies, destroy buildings, or contribute in long fights. Players may also use it informally to describe a “DPS hero,” meaning a hero built to deal steady damage.
