Dota 2 General Chat XXXII - 6.88 will make the ancient summon robot miners and TPs will be free

[metalhand]

I really wish there were more diverse female heroes in Dota 2. While there are some exceptions (Legion, Brood, Spectre etc.) most are still just slender sexy ladies (CM, WR, Drow, QOP, TA, Mirana etc.).

I hope we get a cool old lady in the game at some point. Something similar to Ana from Overwatch.

Just wanted to share some thoughts

make tiny a girl

[QUOTE=Clovis;51047616]theres no need for that seeing as we have the monster types to contrast them. if you look at the human male heroes, most of them are explicitly more attractive than they are ugly anyways (invoker, kunkka) so its not really wrong that the female human/humanoids look "attractive"[/QUOTE]

Let's not even get started with how many male heroes are shirtless or wearing the bare minimum.

[Rarara]

Huskar, Beastmaster, Axe, Bloodseeker; generic burly dudes with no clothes
Jugger, Antimage, Invoker, Storm, Silencer, Kunkka, Chen; generic attractice dudes with clothes
And then there's Sven, Dragon Knight, PL, BH, Terrorblade, Lycan who are more or less just dudes with very slight changes to their attire or physique
Even Oracle has a sixpack and no upper body clothing.

[Totenkreuz]

Jugg is basically shirtless, I think that's enough for the no clothes group.

are you comparing two fully clothed men with somewhat handsome faces to Drow Ranger

[editline]14th September 2016[/editline]

the real problem is probably that the male/female ratio in dota is still pretty skewed
out of 112 heroes only like 18 are ladies so it only takes a handful of weird outfit choices to make them all seem bad

[Totenkreuz]

Why'd you single out Drow?

[QUOTE=Clovis;51048239]one of the demon heroes being female would be funny as shit, like shadow demon

[editline]14th September 2016[/editline]

those obnoxious laughs in a female voice.. blegh[/QUOTE]

A female demon with a charm skill that works on heroes. Fund it.

[unlimi_Ted]

Drow Ranger's corset and boots combo is almost impossible to justify, especially considering her lore
QoP is QoP
CM, Lina, Enchantress, windranger, mirana, luna, and TA are all Typical Pretty Human Ladies but there's nothing inherently wrong with their individual designs, it just seems weird because they make up roughly half of the female cast
Legion Commander and PA in my opinion are perfect, it's a shame a lot of workshop sets try to make PA "sexy" or otherwise take away her no-nonsense assassin look

Wyvern, brood, medusa, and spectre are monster ladies, hell yeah

naga and DP vary quite a bit based on what items you put on them
i don't know what to say about venge tbh

[editline]14th September 2016[/editline]

[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;51048296]Why'd you single out Drow?

[/QUOTE]

because out of all the debatably sexualized heroes, she's the one who is most obviously not dressed for her job or situation

[unlimi_Ted]

[QUOTE=Clovis;51048359]Honestly when it comes to a point female heroes need to be fully clothed because "they show too much skin" that kinda defeats the purpose because then they're clothed for the sake of not being slutty, not clothed for the sake of being clothed. it just looks dumb as hell. females dont make for archetypes that are typically male, such as warriors (which is why legion is the only one, the rest are monsters, or assassins, or other).

Naga Siren is explicitly supposed to be beautiful
QoP is a fucking succubus
Venge comes from that beautiful skywrath canon lore shit so it makes sense shes a bit skimpy
TA is armored with style

windranger eh
drow ranger eh

rest are not sexy or pretty much fully clothed[/QUOTE]

yeah i see we're really trying to make the same argument then, it's about the context for me
Drow is [i]intentionally[/i] like that which is what bothers me, i don't care about fish boobs or whatever enchantress is wearing

for example, Axe doesn't wear a shirt because he's too ripped for clothes/"Axe needs no armor!"
those sets for Antimage that make him shirtless/weird lether studded belt shit on the other hand? he's a monk for god's sake what are you trying to pull here

[mochisushi]

Who cares.

We really need more creepy stuff like this instead of generetic armor sets, imo

Women are pretty, deal with it. What's the issue with people not looking ugly and disgusting?

[QUOTE]From Fear Himself

Today, I'm announcing my retirement from competitive Dota. I have been living my dream of being a professional gamer for over a decade now, and in that time I've accomplished each of the goals I placed for myself and for EG Dota. Now, I have to pursue a new goal - getting healthy. I still have a passion for Dota and for competing, but the long term health of my arm has to come first. Thank you all for your support.[/QUOTE]

I feel like void is just too good in the offlane.
