There are many differences between the Radiant side of the game map and the Dire side:
- Roshan‘s pit in the river is slightly closer to the Radiant bank, near the top rune spawn loation, while the Dire bank curves around the pit. Before 7.00 revamp, Roshan was on the Dire side, near the bottom rune spawn location, giving Radiant an approach advantage.
- Unlike the Dire side, Radiant’s top lane has a convenient way to pull using the nearby Hard Camp.
- Before 6.86c version, it was possible to block 2 jungle camps with 1 ward on in the Radiant jungle.
