6.73 Dota Map Introduced 4 New Heroes

2012-01-04T04:11:00.000-08:00

SKYWRATH MAGE-Dragonus is a sky-bound sorcerer astute in the arts of arcane warfare. Mystical in nature and veiled in secret motives he joined the sentinel to battle the scourge. He is said to come from the ancient bloodline of blood elves that has ascended to unknown heights in the arts of mystical magic. It's suspected that Invoker and Dragonus were prodigy's of ancient time and were fighting for the prestige title of the supreme mage. The art of his supreme knowledge of magic enables him to seal any magic and his Mystic Flare is capable of burning any foe in matter of seconds. Many allies are proud to have strode alongside this mythical being, but few enemies have lived to survive the full extent of his mystical arsenal.

GOBLIN SHREDDER-Deep in the Forgotten Forests there is money to be made. No one knows this, and the dangers that lie within better than the goblin inventor Rizzrak. Combining heavy onboard weapons with the ability to clear an entire field of timber with ease, Rizzrak created a machine that’s as deadly as it is economical. With a detachable saw, brush clearing blades, and a tree grabbing chain Rizzrak is as threatening to his enemies as he is to a fresh sapling. Rizzrak's may not be a noble spirit, but the Sentinels money is as good as any, as long as he keeps his grubbing hands off the Tree of Life!

EMBER SPIRIT-In sword forging furnaces of war, something powerful was taking shape. In a desperate bid to make superior weapons a sword smith by the name of Xin captured and bound a fire spirit to his forge. After countless hours of toil, a single pair of swords were born of the enchanted furnace. While holding and admiring the mystical blades the fire spirit was able to pass into Xin's body creating a being born of flesh and flame. Xin became more powerful than the soldiers he was tasked to outfit, and march out himself to dispatch the enemies of warmth and life. Equipped with burning steel and blazing speed, Xin tears through his enemies leaving nothing but a cinder.

LEGION COMMANDER-My name is Tresdin, and there is a great threat growing in my kingdom. And that threat is the waves of filthy non-human refugees who litter our street corners and whose mongrel languages are belted out in every pub! I didn’t become the greatest general this kingdom has seen in hundreds of years to see my lands reduced to this, but that will be dealt with shortly. For now my axe is called to battle the hordes of darkness that threaten every human in these lands. I march to turn the tables on these horrors, and I dare even one of them to test me in single combat! I go to see things are taken care of the right way, the human way!

2011-05-05T02:26:00.000-07:00

Rubick, The Grand Magus Story:
Rubick, the son of Aghanim, is a force to be reckoned with. Crowds marvel in wonder at his effortless ability to hurl objects through the air, using nothing but his mind. Many wizards have challenged him yet none have surpassed his powerful and debilitating magics. The Grand Magus, with his endless talent, will stop at nothing to bewilder and outsmart his enemies, even if it means turning their own magic against them. Renowned for his unique ability to steal magics with a mere thought, he is undeniably a favorable asset to the Sentinel in their fight against the Scourge.

New Game Heroes of Newerth (HON) vs DOTA

2009-12-04T06:01:00.000-08:00

A new DOTA like pc game "Heroes of Newerth" is catching-up the popularity. One of the most improved in HON is graphics. The heroes profile were also different but the rest of the games were fairly identical. You might want to see HON's trailer and its close equivalent DOTA Heroes below.

DOTA HEROES EQUIVALENT with HON.
CLICK THE IMAGE TO ENLARGE!

HEROES of NEWERTH (HON) GAMEPLAY
Each game of Heroes of Newerth pits two teams of 1 to 5 players, called the Legion and Hellbourne, against each other. Each player selects a single hero to play from a pool of sixty, via one of several selection rotations. During the match, heroes will gain experience and gold by destroying enemy NPC units, players or structures, and customize their character with skills and items as the game progresses. The gameplay consists of each team "pushing" a lane of creeps toward an enemy tower and destroying it, each lane contains three towers which must be destroyed in order to make the barracks structures in the enemy base vulnerable to attack. Once a barracks is destroyed, the team that destroyed it gains mega creeps in that lane, these are a more powerful version of standard NPC's that give less gold when killed. A game ends either when one of the teams' loses its two inner most towers and the main structure is destroyed - either the Tree of Life for the Legion, or the Sacrifical Pit of the Hellbourne. A team may also concede at any point beyond fifteen minutes into the match.

DOTA ORIGIN

2009-11-15T22:38:00.000-08:00

DOTA (Defense of the Ancients) is basically a map made specifically for WC3: The Frozen Throne. The map was initially developed by Eul which known as a mapmaker itself. During that time, a number of variations were being done. Later on a named Guinsoo continue the works, improved the map until it become popular. However, Guinsoo’s time had come to an end too and another person named IceFrog took over the place and currently the main programmer of the DOTA MAP. Who’s the lucky next?

Now let’s play DOTA…It is actually a 1v1 up to 5v5 versus game. Where the players can select hero from both sides, the "Sentinel" (known to be the good heroes) or "Scourge" (known us corrupted heroes). There were stories that will explain how these heroes went on separate allies. Meanwhile, to win the game each team should push and destroy towers all the way down to the main tower at the center of each rival base. But it is not that easy as you thought. At first all heroes were level 1, by killing opposing heroes and creeps they will gain gold and be upgraded until level 25. In addition, each hero can gain 4 types of skills as they level-up and the skills can also be upgraded 4X. The accumulated gold can be used for buying items that improve Hero's attributes. There are only 6 slots allotted for each hero so only 6 items can be carried. Some items can also be upgraded going forward on the battles. Thus, the more hero and/or creeps you killed the faster the level-up you’ll make and the more money you can get for buying better items. But extra care is also important as you will lose gold when you get killed. DOTA is more victorious by team work than solo or selfish play. A good combo and teamwork of skills by each team hero will mostly overwhelm the opponents in every clash until the end game. So what are you waiting for, go play Dota and sure you'll have fun! Thanks!

Tauren Cgieftain (Cairne Bloodhoof)

2009-09-26T18:50:00.000-07:00

Since ancient times it has been prophesized by the Tauren elders that a Chieftain will come, strong as the mightiest warriors and wise as the eldest shamans. After many years of wandering the sacred lands, seeking wisdom from his forefathers, Cairne Bloodhoof has proven himself as the long awaited hero. Cairne carries with him the spirit of his mightiest ancestor, and now the ground shakes with the combined strength of the Chieftain and his guardian spirit. No physical nor magical barrier can reduce the power of his enchanted halberd, the weapon used by his guardian in ancient times. Such is the power of this axe that it can split the very earth itself. Seeking revenge for the ravaging of his homeland, Cairne will soon bring his wrath upon the Scourge.

HERO ABILITIES (Attack range of 128)

If the spirit is separated from you, it will still perform its part of the spell. 1.4 second cast time.
2.)Ancestral Spirit - The Tauren Chieftain sends forth his guardian ancestor to bring ruin upon his foes. While separate from the Chieftain, the spirit will mimic his movement and damage any unit it passes through. When it rejoins the Chieftain, it grants him bonus damage and movement speed for each enemy it has struck.
3.)Natural Order - The Tauren Chieftain uses wisdom gathered throughout the ages to reduce everything to its most basic level. Removes base Magic and Physical resistance.
4.)Earth Splitter - Using his mighty axe, the Tauren Chieften rends the very earth itself, sending a jagged crack under the feet of his enemies. After several seconds the earth implodes, sending his foes tumbling inwards. Any unit caught in the implosion will take damage based on their maximum life and have their speed slowed for a short time. Implodes after 3 seconds. Deals 35% of a unit's maximum HP.

Batrider (Jin'zakk)

2009-09-26T18:39:00.000-07:00

Once an expendable spy, Jin'zakk has outlived the suicidal tendencies of other Bat Riders to create a unique style, one that favours control and precision instead of wanton destruction. His years of battle experience have allowed him to innovate creative uses for his fiery arts: He can douse enemies in a bath of sticky oil that restricts their movements before igniting it, fire an explosive that blows enemies away, or take flight to leave behind a trail of flame. However, his most deadly skill involves lassoing his opponent and dragging the unfortunate foe into the arms of his allies.

HERO ABILITIES (Attack range of 375)
1.)Sticky Napalm - Targets an area and drenches it in very sticky oil. Amplifies any fire damage and slows the movement speed and turn rate of units in that area. Extra casts of this on the same targets stack up to 10 times.

Shadow Shaman (Rhasta)

2009-09-26T18:32:00.000-07:00

Once a gifted troll witch doctor, young Rhasta was well versed with the secrets of voodoo magic. When the war between the Sentinel and the Scourge began, Rhasta, then a Shadow Hunter, offered his allegiance to the Sentinels to vanquish the Scourge once and for all. While he was gifted as a witch doctor, Rhasta is a genius as a shadow hunter, exceeding his master by mastering the art of summoning multiple serpent wards, binding enemies for a short time and casting elemental lightning to several units.

Witch Doctor (Vol'Jin)

2009-09-26T18:27:00.000-07:00

Vol'Jin is a risk-taker. Anyone who has ever crossed paths with him can tell you that. As a voodoo priest, you need a certain degree of it. It's too bad he never learned the value of discretion. Vol'Jin's experiments in jungle magic yielded brilliant results- the ability to mend wounds, casks filled with paralyzing combinations of herbs that could scatter for miles, and even a curse capable of stripping the life force from a living being. Of course, no amount of power gained goes without notice. As Vol'Jin's experiments became more and more unstable and destructive, the Lich King made his move.

HERO ABILITIES (Attack range of 600)
1.)Paralyzing Cask - Vol'jin launches a cask of paralyzing powder that bounces between foes, stunning those affected for a short period of time (1 sec on Hero, 5 on creeps). Deals damage per bounce to non-hero units. First impact lasts 1.5 seconds.

Twin Head Dragon (Jakiro)

2009-09-26T18:10:00.000-07:00

Originally found gnawing at the roots of the World Tree during an excavation, this magnificent Chimaera's age is impossible to determine. With his large snapping heads and aggressive, unpredictable behavior, Jakiro is an intimidating creature to say the least, yet is loyal to the Sentinel for reasons all his own. Due to his mystical nature, he has a strange affinity with the elemental forces of ice and fire. This allows him to devastate all in his path, and he is more than capable of keeping his opponents in his line of fury. The Scourge would do best to be wary of this dragon, lest they all freeze and shatter as their precious Frozen Throne melts before their eyes.

HERO ABILITIES (Attack range of 400)
1.)Dual Breath - Jakiro's twin heads let loose an icy blast followed closely by a wave of fire, each dealing initial damage. Enemy units are both slowed and dealt fire damage per second for 4 seconds.

Tinker (Boush)

2009-09-26T17:48:00.000-07:00

Goblin engineering was always innovative, but Boush brought it to such extreme that most refuse to believe that his powers lie in machines and rather think that he fights with magic. He can shoot focused light and homing projectiles as powerful and as flashy as most destructive Elven Arcane spells. It is said that not even best Necromancers can raise armies comparable to seemingly endless amount of clockwork goblins that Boush can easily summon. And while some refuse to believe in his machinery skills and other call him the master artist of engineering, none can deny the destructive force of this goblin.

HERO ABILITIES (Attack range of 500)
1.)Laser - Fires an intense beam of light at a target, dealing damage and blinding all in the area for 9 seconds. Deals precise damage.

Shadow Priest (Dazzle)

2009-09-26T17:39:00.000-07:00

Little is known to the Shadowtooth Clan, likely because this group of shadowy trolls never unveil the secrets of their mystifying sacrament. Nevertheless, the Loa they worship is much more powerful than most elementals, thus their favors must be kept in confidentiality. In return, these Primal Gods granted these trolls the power over paralyzing toxins, life-bending voodoo, and even endowment of life beyond the grave. A living eternity of death and misery, Dazzle now marches within the ranks of the undead, announcing the apocalypse of the Scourge that may lead them to much anticipated ascendancy.

HERO ABILITIES (Attack range of 500)
1.)Poison Touch - A poisonous magic is placed on an enemy unit causing it to move slowly becoming paralyzed. The longer the poison takes to set in, the slower the unit will become. After the poison sets in, it takes physical damage per second for 7 seconds. Target moves slower per level.

Ogre Magi (Aggron Stonebreaker)

2009-09-26T17:33:00.000-07:00

Ogres, a race bred to be warriors, have no experience with the arcane arts, leaving Aggron, who was born with a rare affinity to magic, without guidance regarding his innate abilities. His own force of will harnesses his talent to produce elemental flames and explosions that consume his opponents. Being a natural warrior, he reaches into his own aggression to fuel his comrades' lust for battle. His savage, untapped magical potential is prone to fiery outbursts which enhance the potency of his spells.

This restless ghost consumes the essence of the enemies he slays, and the death moan of his victims is what he enjoys the most.

Invoker (Kael)

2009-09-26T17:21:00.000-07:00

Quas. Wex. Exort. The essence of a storm. The heart of a blizzard. The soul of a phoenix. After his people were broken and scattered to the corners of the earth, Kael was left with only the relics of his once great world. Thirsting for vengeance, he sold his own soul to Ner'Zhul, and in exchange acquired near limitless power. Taking on the mantle of the Blood Mages of old, the Invoker strode into war with nothing but the elements at his command.

2009-09-26T17:15:00.000-07:00

Devilishly clever, the goblin techies, despite their small physical presence, are a force to be reckoned with. In line with their goblin brethren, the techies have the skill of laying mines in the earth, invisible to the naked eye.

Greatest of the sea giants, Leviathan was sealed away in the aftermath of the war between the Old Gods and the Titans in ancient times. Now released by the Lich King to aid in his crusade against the Sentinel, he cleaves through waves of enemies with his mighty anchor, breaking enemy sieges before they even begin.
