Easily the best Lich set I've laid eye upon, I may buy the hood outright depending on the store price.
 
Really cool stuff bounchfx. My one gripe with the video is that you don't get a good look of Lich's set from the front :p

A couple people have mentioned this, and unfortunately while it's not in the video, each of the item pages have multiple views including two front shots. We're going to add one more image later tonight with a front view on the collection page I believe.

Thanks everyone for the kind words!
 
Haha, so this.

It's weird hearing the original Dota pros refer to all the heroes by their name, rather than the Dota 2 name. Like 'Ezalor' instead of 'KoTL'.

I only played the original dota for about a month, most of my experience with the genre comes from HoN. All that stuff is over my head.

I hate that honestly, hearing Furion or Naix just irks me...

The colour thing, I never hear people refer to each other by their steam names or hero names, it's always "Blue feeder gg" "yellow up courier" "teal stun now"

Was it easier to translate the names IE Furion in other languages because they are kind of universal sounds as opposed to actual words like "Nature's Prophet" - I'm not sure how well that goes in 6 other languages.

Also playing games with non-Americans they often use Balanar or Layana

What are the chances LGD.int vs IG will be delayed a bit? It's a big event with more than just the Dota 2 final right?

Not sure if they could delay that too much if celebs are performing
 
Well the thing with Furion in particular, if you actually played through the WC3 campaign - the Dota model was/is the exact same as (Mal)furion Stormrage - a major character in the lore.

And Nature's Prophet is still very reminiscent of that model without any major changes.

As mentioned, the universality of a proper name probably helped compared to titles which may translate differently.

Others I'm not so sure about.

Might be delayed very slightly in terms of minutes but doubt it, it depends on the other games in the schedule.

updated my post above so you guys can see the actual set, lol. Will be updating the collection page tonight to have set images as well instead of just the painted banner.
 
After playing a game with it this morning my only problem is that you can't see the mask at all under the hood. I may wear the regular cloak sometimes to make the mask visible.
 
Welp if they let that rubick set in then they better let both of bounchfx's sets in. They've already demonstrated that hoods/masks are ok.
 
Nyx can be pretty awesome a bit later in the game.

Vendetta, stun, mana burn/damage and Dagon can pretty much insta kill anyone who is alone.
 
I was watching you...lol

Yeah....

Kind of goaded the guy into playing CK, even though he didn't necessarily want to. The guy who picked Dark Seer said he hadn't really played him much before, but had seen him, and only picked him to balance the lane comp.

Now, I'm not saying I did well, but the rest of my team wasn't so hot either. It just went from bad to worse. Should have just picked Prophet at the start (it was a SD in case you didn't know.) Can't remember the Agi option right now, but it wasn't something I was thrilled with.

My masterful shift-queuing around the base didn't prevent me from getting an abandon though, unfortunately, and the game was far over anyway, so I just left after that.

The Venge and Ogre Magi lane was unexpectedly brutal with double stuns though.
 
Where's the im a huge noob button guys
Did you select New for your skill level when you first started? If not, go through the tutorial (under Play -> Quests) and maybe try your hand at some bot games to get things like the shops and courier down.
 
ugh, played with a sniper who thought he was hot stuff. Called us all noobs. Didn't finish his boots until 50 minutes in. Then left the treads on strength "because hp is the most important part" Bonus: He said his ult did more damage than his auto attack and "DPS and mini stuns aren't really that important" compared to raw damage
