I thought you know that being a 2000+ in game. :twisted: Though I have no idea who Rexxar is. :lol:

Actually the names from Dota 1 were not totally imported to Dota 2.
For example, Pudge was known as The Buthcher in Dota 1. Sam goes for all heroes. Thats why...

Actually heroes in Warcraft Dota had a name and a type. For example, Pudge was the name and Butcher was the type. For example, here the name is Mortred and the type is Level 1 Phantom Assassin.

In Dota 2, they have done away with this and made it only a single name convention. The names/type are there, but you will have to read the lore to find that out (under Library > Heroes). Most of the names are the same, except for example Skeleton King (Wraith King) whose name was changed from Leoric to Ostarion.

^why was sk changed to wraith king? I'm guessing valve got sued again for something but what's the actual story? Been curious for a while.

DotA, those days were awesome. I still use some old item names like lothars etc.

Skeletons are banned in china, they had some problems with it, so valve changed the name as well as his hero model, before the launch in China.

Story behind them. It is all covered in lore. Read months back on Reddit.

Dont remember much but it was something about force, time, reality and vaccum/void. They were somehow related to Elder Titan . Then there was a lore that Ancient Appartion would become the ruler of the worl during the end time where he eventually freezes every existence.

As I said, I cant recall everything.... just some pieces of info scattered in my memories but I assure you it was so engrossing to read. Too bad I lost the link.

Funny considering how much DotA is famous there and it's already 8 years old. Suddenly they having problems with Dota 2 for the same heroes is confusing.

Guys which Hero after CM and Jakiro ?? Though I need to master Jakiro but still asking.
Raident only please.

Even I would recommend Ogre, really good support who scales well himself. I recently played him and it was one of my best ogre games. If you feel like you can check out the replay, it just might give you an idea > *dotabuff.com/matches/601226370
