Well the whole idea behind the ward was that it was formally a power rhythm device channeled with nether energies to counter-act magic whenever anything was cast in the area around it.
"Here remains what is left of the infamous Oblivion Metronome device. The arm in the middle rhythmically syncs up with the balance, and sends out a counter shock of Nether energy in response to any anomalies. Although not quite the Doomsday weapon it used to be, it could still have some use in the future. "
The non-destroyed version looked like this. I'd picture that it is composed of black stone rather than painted metal. :v:

[QUOTE=Terin7;40677806]Because Tinker is a separate hero with a different theme. I don't think most people who said that are saying that it doesn't belong in Dota 2 at all, it just doesn't fit with Pugna. He channels energies through diabolic arcane artifacts, not machines.
Not to say your nether ward looks bad, I'd just agree with the high-tech comments as those glowy triangles and circle look like the stuff that's used to make things look sci-fiy and the sort of perfect shape of it. It needs to look more crafted, warped, and imperfect rather than built.[/QUOTE]
Me personally I think it looks like an arcane construct given life and motion through sorcery.
Now this would be more apparent if it had some neato particle effects but the Dota2 workshop does not let you submit things with particles.
The idea was basically

I wouldn't really call it high tech.
It looks nothing like 'hi-tech,' in all honesty.

I could understand why people would be pissed if it DID, but it doesn't.

Tech is Tinkers theme, not Pugna's. Your logic suggests we can strap a laser cannon on Chaos Knight and it'll be ok cause the Tinker on his team has one too.

Yes please...
Chaos Knight laser has 1/4 chance of insta kill.

Well those horizontal lines do resemble a vent, and the glowing bits kinda look more scifi than mythical I think.
shadow demon, the final boss... [sp]of solo mid heroes anyways lol[/sp]
Why are people in such a commotion over the Flax announcer? Personal feelings aside (I think it's decent, better then the pirate announcer anyway), announcers aren't forced onto anyone so they can be as bizarre and off themed as possible for all I care. Personally waiting for the day we get a Glados and TF2 announcer packs if they ever come to fruition.
As long as the quality control on the cosmetic items stays true (You know, items you can't disable), then why care? Even if you find an item as a drop, you're sure to find someone who would gladly trade. I think it's really nice that community contributors can interact this directly with their fans.

That Pugna ward looks unfitting and ridiculous, why would you even try to compare it to Tinker? Everything about him is related to technology, Pugna isn't.

[QUOTE=devon_wargod;40679136]why are shadow demons mid in your games[/QUOTE]
are you high mate? shadow demon is a very good mid hero, because maxed shadow poison is so dominant in a 1v1 situation
[QUOTE=devon_wargod;40679345]you should not play shadow demon anymore[/QUOTE]
He's a fantastic mid hero, he's just not one of the usual mids.
[QUOTE=devon_wargod;40679136]why are shadow demons mid in your games[/QUOTE]
His ulti, an amazing slow/purge with a 20 second cooldown, is pretty good ganking tool for a mid player as well along with his lane dominance with maxed shadow poison.
Shadow Demon will win mid easily and is a potent ganker, it's just that he's a waste in mid because he's such a disgustingly good support
i want to see what a fully farmed shadow demon with necrobook, atos/scythe, bloodstone, and dagon can do.
a shadow demon that ends up as the wardbitch is such a waste.

Not really that much more than just SD with levels and some utility/manaregen.
Poison is based on your aim, it doesn't scale with anything else (possibly Orchid/Veil of discord on top)
Disruption scales with enemy
Soul Catcher would at best scale with your Dagon
Ultimate is neat by itself.
Thus why SD is often picked purely as a support.

Pick one
SD with Dagon 3, Sheepstick and Necrobook
SD with boots + any carry with 13k gold worth of items
If dazzle can be a semi-carry, then sure as hell SD can
Plus it's hard not to dominate lane with shadow poison. Build decent right click/stack int and you're a pretty good ganker

Dazzle can semi-carry because he's got massive armour shred and huge survivability potential while also having hella stat gain.
Shadow Demon has nukes.
