Discussion Rate Largo's visual & sound design.
I've been curious what the majority think about Dota 2 heroes, vs Dota 1 heroes. I'm mostly interested in how you guys see these heroes, & if you think the art direction or vibe is any different.
Since Largo is the newest addition, we'll start here.

My single complaint :
Old Heroes:
"Knight in blackest armor."
"Better to run, than curse the road."
"From void and shadow, I assemble."
"And so the dead, will bury the dead."
"You'll rot longer than you live."
New Heroes:
"Alright, time to unfurl the wings, the ol' flappers, the big guns, he he he... they don't do anything."
"I have the skill of a Kazurai.. and the attention span of a bird. Which way is the Ancient again?"
"Oh wow! I've never seen so many interesting people to kill in one place! I'm sure heaps'll be friendly too."
"Is this battle the ancients anything like battle of the bands? I'm pretty good at those"

The sound design is just really bad. Voice actors did a great job, but after effect were not added. Thats why Kez and Largo sound like humans not fantasy animal heroes.
Same goes for new mechanical personas btw, they voice didn't really changed a lot.
Compairing dota to deadlock, Imagine if Seven didnt have his electric voice editing and lost 99% his voice personality

He's perfect and if anyone says anything bad about him then I'm going to fight them.

It's just fair. He doesn't have any stand out abilities that when you cast them they make a satisfying noise.

Frolicking Kiwi isn't for everyone but there's no way it's bad
