7 heroes have been released in the latest 4 years.
Of those 7
>4 are made for the chinese market (void spirit wearing chinese hairstyle, grimstroke is based around chinese scripture, pangolin is a chinese animal, wukong is a chinese mythological creature that is in every fucking f2p shit game)
>2 have a cartoony style that doesn't belong in the game (snapfire, willow)
I like Mars, though. Although he isn't very innovative. His ult is a variation of disruptor's field, and others skills are meh.
Why did it die?
How is willow cartoony? I think you just don't like her. Also void spirit fits in with the style of the other spirits.
less dead than TF2, just that most people either barely know what a dota is, or play it and only it for all eternity.
just like BR games, there's just too much down time. I genuinely feel like the only people who play this game are young adults who just discover the game (there's lots of initial appeal but ultimately it stops being fun inside ~2 years) or autists who play no other game. There's no in-between.
For me?
Playing rubick and killing someone with their own ability
Yes. Going dagonless nyx.
Isn't grimstroke more akin to japanese culture? Also Snapfire is based, fuck you.
I am sexually attracted to Wisp. Like deviant art tier devotion. No I will not post my cringe doodles. I dont know why but i get so nervous and big dicked thinking about Io.
>Valve had an opportunity to make great spinoffs inside of DOTA's admittedly disconnected lore (RPG where you are part of the Red Mist or Stonewall Legion, stealth assassin game playing as Riki getting revenge on the people who killed his family or Bounty Hunter collecting massive reards etc.)
>Card game and Auto-chess
That said, I kinda like Artifact and Underlord lore, but the games themselves are pretty shite.
