not specifically putting them under the term 'strategy' games but there is...a crap load of strategy involved in them. Ive only played Dota 2 a few times, played dota 1 for WC3 battlenet more often then not but all I can say to that is that theres quite a bit involved.
Most easily noted is that if a team that always plays as a team goes against a team thats completely random, you can see the outcome of it. Ill say 9/10 times that team of 'always playing' will win. One can chalk it up to be 'they are used to eachother and eachothers playstyles'. But nevertheless, that in itself is a fundamental part of strategy, knowing your teammates streanghts and weaknesses.
