Dota 2 main client update for 11/21/13 (11/22/13 UTC)

What are you even doing valve

Why bother Axe if you're not gonna fix the thing that needed fixing; his pointy ass shoulders

[Marik Bentusi]

I really don't get why they changed Necro's voice. Even if the changed voice sounded better, that Marlboro Whale just doesn't fit an all-in-all very human looking model (even if it has a butterface). If they changed his model as well it might have made sense, but I guess community contributed items and all that.

I'm kinda confused on Pudge, the apron enforces the butcher part of his design but swapping out the big ol' cleaver for the pizza cutter lessens that characteristic again.

Not sure why they changed Omni's colors in the non-Chinese versions. Doesn't look bad IMO, but retexing the items for it seems like hassle that needs justification.
I do hope it won't mean Valve's gonna remove all skeletons next to make all versions equal.

Veno's an alright idea IMO but "put more spikes on it!" didn't do it for Lion IMO and it doesn't do it here. Just makes the model seem unnecessarily busy.

Considering how Sam Mowry seriously phoned in some performances, I'll applaud attempts to make them more distinctive.

The glitched Necrophos voice is hilarious.

I guess if the filter wouldn't be fucked up in-game right now, Necrolyte would probably sound a bit better.

[URL="http://puu.sh/5pQNf.mp3"]Pitched (how it PROBABLY should sound)[/URL] [URL="http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/f/fa/Necr_spawn_01.mp3"]Unchanged.[/URL]

Sounds a lot better IMO.

If they do the same thing like they did with Razor in terms of pitch:

[URL="http://puu.sh/5pQSi.mp3"]Pitched (in-game)[/URL] [URL="http://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/b/b8/Raz_spawn_07.mp3"]Unchanged (like it is in the game files.)[/URL]

then I would probably be okay with the voice filter. But right now its just too high pitched (or low pitched :v:)

'How it should probably sound' is sick, that would be amazing.

[spectator1]

Fucking pudge looks horrible now, change it back dammit.

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;42945759][t]http://puu.sh/5pOOs.jpg[/t]

did they change the color of lina's suit[/QUOTE]

That's Luna, and yes they did. It used to be purple, now it's blue.

[Nestophales]

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;42945759][t]http://puu.sh/5pOOs.jpg[/t]

did they change the color of lina's suit[/QUOTE]

Yea and they added some detail on her legs(the blue straps and that area on the back of her thigh)

Don't ask me why I know Luna's lower half by heart.

[SxRustle]

Valve please dont ruin perfect voice acting. If you will change Earthshaker too, ill dump my acc and go play Lol

With an ass and thighs like that, nobody's blaming you.

[Shibbey]

Every model change is pretty much flat worse, imo. Giving Axe anime hair is not kosher. Also phos = light. Literally "Necro-light". Valve in charge of puns = literally Hitler.

[quote]Windrunner changed to Windranger[/quote]

[slayer20]

Well fuck

You can't change the voice files for Windrunner around without having them sped up

Her new name is fucking stupid.

[Jechtmania]

If anything needs an update it's Juggernaut's default sword.

I mean come on every sword cosmetic for him is 10x more detailed than that.

[Swiket]

Replace "Maggie" with "Windrunner".

Juggs stock sword looks like some kinda candy in comparison.

Why did they fuck up Axe's hair?

He sounds like Mannoroth and Gul'dan from WC3. (Gul'dan's hero character had the same voice as Mannorth if you used the editor.)

[QUOTE=ASIC;42948746]Why did they fuck up Axe's hair?[/QUOTE]

I'll just post something that was posting in the steam discussions section:
[quote]Blizzard own Warcraft 3 and therefore the mod, dota. Due to this valve had to change some things to avoid copyright. Here are the ones I can work out so far SO STOP COMPLAINING!
The changes are clearly because of Heroes of the Storm. Blizz didn't mind these characters who looked like their characters up until they wanted a piece of that sweet moba (or arts) cake.

Luna = Nightelves riding sabers - Change to Lion
Axe = Looks like Grom Hellscream - Lose the ponytail
Omniknight = Kinda looks like Arthas when he was a paladin (same color palette, blonde etc.) - Change the colors
Pudge = Looks like abominations (flesh golems) - Hide the guts hanging out
Windrunner = A High Elf family name (Most known people include Sylvanas, Alleria, Vereesa) - Change it to ranger
Dazzle = identical hairstyle to WC3 troll priests (the mohawk).
Gyrocopter = the design with two propellers on the side is identical to WC3 gyrocopters
Venomancer = looked exactly like a hydralisk [/quote]

[BuffaloBill]

What kind of fucked up Hydralisks did that guy see to say Veno looks exactly like a Hydralisk?

[Awesomecaek]

I am pretty sure Blizzard can't copyright ponytails or sabres. And okay, lets change Windrunners name. Why not use a fucking thesaurus and look for an actually decent option? Windstrider would work, so would Windsprinter, even Windshifter would be decent. Windranger is literally the singles worst option.

And don't get me started on Venomancer model. That's just plain and absolutely awful

[ned_ballad]

this is axe from Dota/WC3

I'm honestly surprised he managed to stay red, losing a ponytail is nothing. He's probably the closest hero in the game to his Dota 1 appearance.

[ASIC]

Speaking of which, I don't want to play Axe until his hair is fixed or I buy this [URL="http://dota2.gamepedia.com/Proof_of_Courage"]item[/URL].

[Petachepas]

Lets hope they don't have to change Ogre Magi. He is the closest Blizzard-looking hero with Viper and Axe

I've got one I can lose if you wanna trade for it, I'm pretty content with my set for him atm.
