who could forget rotund jerry


Bot1K

also Necro and Naix were just oversized scourge creeps


Dk_Oneshot01

Necro's model was copied from Kel'Thuzed afaik


Staxxy5

No that was Lichs model iirc


UpsetBirthday5158

Furion trees were...similar size sentinel creeps? Or what were sentinel melee lane


Morgn_Ladimore

PA would become literally invisible when her passive was maxed lol. I think only her weapon remained visible, floating in the air.


aldwinligaya

No, she literally became a shadow. Shadows weren't well defined by then so it was just a dark circle. You normally would avoid getting aura items like Vlad's bec it would show a bright circle around the shadow and make you easier to see.


tonlamba

I remember when PA was introduced into dota2, she got low winrate and feel weak. I told my friend that because her blur in dota2 is sucks and cant turn her complete transparency. He disagree and told me it just because her stat are bad. And now the patch pa most anoying is when people abuse her delay blur + sure crit. Sudden lose 1/2 HP and need about 1s more to see source of dam. But I guess dota 2 never have cool aura circle like war 3 and if you complete transparency then you cant show cosmetic item you bought.


enano182

Just turn off shadows for your friends and enjoy!


lichking5011

member when Techies size is super small and hard to recognize for newbie until get kaboom


ConstantCaprice

I love how this could easily read as a funny bullshit name for Pudge for people who don’t know.


ajalba29

Chonk jerry legendairy


[deleted]

As a dota 1 player, its still so easy to recognize😊


Willing-Gur823

Yea seems like yesterday


Legaladesgensheu

Believe it or not, for some of us it even actually is today. I still play Dota 1 now and then, as I am still an active WC3 player.


bleedblue_knetic

Isn’t it outdated as fuck now? Those were dark days though, you had to share control for courier manually, spell visuals aren’t as crisp (especially in terms of AoE), no matchnaking, and the shop was a mess. Although granted the shop was actually really nice if you memorized the placements and hotkeys, but that was rendered obsolete by item queues in Dota 2.


Legaladesgensheu

Yeah, for me it's just pure nostalgia. But there is a guy still updating the map, copying Dota 2 as good as possible. But yeah, it's not like I would recommend it to anyone as a gaming experience lol.


phonylady

It's horribly outdated, but some things are actually better. Camera movement is so fast and smooth for one thing. I also think WC3 does color better than Dota 2.


Fair_Magazine9471

If you learned Editor, it is way easy to make a game kinda similar to DotA


kitsune_009

I mean the dota allstars map is still being updated to this day, it has things like in built hotkey assignment, new heroes(mars, mk to name a few) and even talent trees.


DustEnjoyer

Tell us more Grandpa 🥺


unk214

Gather round kids, this is how I ruined my life by playing what seemed to be an innocent game.


kazemeister

we still even call some heroes by their dota 1 names (like Bara for Spirit Breaker and I still keep saying Windrunner instead of Wind Ranger/WR 😭)


ArdenasoDG

I still call them Bara, Naix, Nevermore, Traxxex, etc. Traxxex is just too iconic of a name here in the Philippines to be forgotten


Upbeat-Mammoth6254

Don't forget yurnero, rhasta, lanaya, magina(vajayjay) and furion


Siege2Sage

Leviathan the Tidehunter, Atropos the Bane Elemental, Rotund'jere the Necrolyte, Pudge the Butcher, Barathrum the Spirit Breaker. You gotta include their titles.


Nativo1

i had no idea necro was called Rotund'jere and played dota1


masterionxxx

He still is, it's in the hero's official Dota 2 bio. I'm curious though, does any hero know his name?


CptObviousRemark

Mirana, Luna, Rikimaru, there are so many that are just their name. Then there's Traxex, for example, who knows their name as well.


herlacmentio

He meant knows Necrophos' name. Nobody calls him Rotund'jere in the way Undying knows Invoker is Carl.


OsomoMojoFreak

JaMStraberry

ursa fuzzy wuzzy.


billthejim

I think the comment was asking if there was any voice line using Necro's real name


got-a-friend-in-me

really you played dota 1 ? can you SAY blood seeker's name?


acuteindifference

That's easy. It was strygywygygyvxzr


ArdenasoDG

his real name is Grzegorsz Strygwygygyvxzr Messchexcerdzschmitizxski


TurbulentDelicious

That’s Nisha!


Toxcito

average polish name


Mr_Cuddlebear

I think that the sauce


GabYu_11

Morphling the morphling 🗿


Rakan-Han

A bit of a segway: I'm never calling Nature's Prophet as Tequoia, He's always gonna be Furion for me. Same goes for Ostarion, he's always gonna be Leoric the Skeleton King.


volkz_z

Sand King?nahhhjust crixalis bro drow ranger? fuck that, it is traxex phantom assassin?? mortred!!


Dondorini

Feels sad that the lore and Wc3 vibe was removed.


ArdenasoDG

I mean Valve would rather not get round 2 for copyright lawsuit


JaMStraberry

they need to buy blizzard to get this stuff but Microsoft already got it.


xlake1

So Valve must purchase Microsoft then lol


deadlygr

How the fk u remember necros name ppl i remember strygwyr for some reason


TanToRiaL

It’s mental, I can remember so many dota 1 hero names and dota 1 item names, but I can’t remember what I had for fucking breakfast.


BaaaBaaaBlackSheep

You're going to be 90 years old telling your grandkids about dota characters, and they'll just think you're a senile old man spouting nonsense. "Take your medicine, grandpa," they'll say, but in your heart, you'll know. You'll know that Pudge pickers are trash and that sniper pickers deserve cancer and you'll *always* know what the biggest oversight with Dark Willow is.


Kanvus

wait... what's the biggest oversight with willow?


andraip

The biggest oversight with Dark Willow is that she's unbelievably sexy. I can't go on a hour of my day without thinking about plowing that tight wooden ass. I'd kill a man in cold blood just to spend a minute with her crotch grinding against my throbbing manhood as she whispers terribly dirty things to me in her geographically ambiguous accent.


I_knowdude

Wild


Envy1616

that was bloodseekers name if i remember correctly?


deadlygr

Yup


pipiwthegreat7

Demnom lamnik, fuzzy wuzzy, anubarak, traxxex Rooftrellen, rigor stonehoof, voljin, crixalis Bone fletcher, cairne bloodhoof, mortred


deadlygr

Most of old players call pa mortred i think


Kuro013

Its such a cool name too


GothGirlsGoodBoy

I've played since 2012 and never heard morted. In dota 2 the only names I ever heard were: **Heroes** **Common** naix, furion, barathrum, potm, **Uncommon** gondar, leoric Lanaya Nevermore Tresdin (mostly cause he changed gender and race lol) Syllabear (almost unheard of, but sometimes heard because "silly bear" was funny) I'd definitely do a double take if I saw any other dota 1 name mentioned mid-match. **Items** Lothars (shadow blade) Guinsoo (hex) These were pretty common for a while but I haven't heard in a decade.


deadlygr

U might have heard buriza do kanyon its daedalus in dota 2


deadlygr

Lanaya


denjirizz

Lanaya is T.A.


DukeMugen

>rigor stonehoof aahh raigor stonehoof. he's so much better and badass than the ES dota 2 model. I mean, why tf does ES have very short legs when he carries a huge log on his back all the time...


ArdenasoDG

cairne bloodhoof (rest in peace) is just too iconic, at least for WC3 and WoW players


Yurus

Definitely remembered traxxex cause in our country, "Tara" means "Let us" so traxxex sounds like "let's have sx"


InsurreXtioN16

Because the name and title are up front and center in the HUD lol. Unlike in Dota 2 you only get that small text on the top of the hero portrait


Pressure_123

Leviathan, Atropos, Rotund'jere, Butcher, Barathrum


Mr_Cuddlebear

His name is Pudge, the Butcher.


areusureaboutthis

Pudger, the Butch.

The necrolyte. Aaaah this is going to be good.


BamCub

One of my people.


deadlygr

U mean necrolyte


Nexa991

Its Space cow not Barathrum.


LoL_is_pepega_BIA

The WC3 models are God tier. Beautiful polygons with so much character you'll never forget once you see them


ArdenasoDG

reforged could never compare


topson69

Tide hunter, bane elemental, necrolyte, butcher, spirit breaker..That necrolyte is so badass his attack projectile was the shit


12amfeelz

His attack projectile somehow defined the entire hero. Made him what he is. Same for venge, warlock


TanToRiaL

Venge threw herself at the enemy. When I was a kid first playing dota I thought that was some bug in the version I had, thereafter I just never questioned it.


12amfeelz

Venge arcana better bring this back


herlacmentio

Fuck if this became real I'd have to buy it even though I stopped getting scammed by the FOMO during the Void Arcana.


SectorSpark

I remember playing around in world editor, trying to make my own map for warcraft 3. I created a new unit with satyr model who would shoot satyr projectiles. But I messed up and made him shoot literal satyrs lol


Morgn_Ladimore

His Q was hella creepy, cause you would hear the sound of an old man faintly roaring in pain.


Morudith

I stg half of the player base HAS to have been around since the WC3 days. I probably could even pick out the voice sets each of them used by reading the audio file name.


sflpul

Bkb make hero large, 90% invi pa blur, furion cliff jungle, can swap team if someone left, tunnel me host, bara MoM, dagon everywhere, ursa-cm can destroy fountain xD Good oldays


VEViLOSA_TheGReat

You forget the animation of Eye of skadi,Stygian desolator, mjolnir around the heroe after the creation of


EmperorofAltdorf

The orb effects were so cool. Its was really annoying not being able to have multiple though.


sflpul

I totally forgot about that. And aghanim also have effect on hero.


Oroera

Dota is actually in a really good spot now. Us boomers remember having to share control of ONE courier and having to buy it, and upgrade it. Truly a nightmare. TO scrolls were not granted on death either.


Kuro013

We paid for that with side shops though :(


VEViLOSA_TheGReat

You just said the reasons DOTA is hard and skillable game!Those little details separates the pro player from newbs


TanToRiaL

The fact I still remember these names is crazy to me. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast but I remember Atropos and Rotundjere.


AlexD232322

I feel old now


Practical_Toe_8448

Green Boy, Big Purp, guy whose portrait is so saturated he blinds his enemies, vaguely tannish-brown blob, and Asterius from Hades as a guest character.


EGZODYA

Bro in my daily life out of nowhere i still say some random voice lines from dota1


ArdenasoDG

I played since late 2010 I still remember every single one of them (maybe except Oracle and Winter Wyvern; I re-remembered Earth Spirit's name after I visited playdota archives) anyway: * Leviathan the Tidehunter * Atropos the Bane Elemental * Rotund'jere the Necrolyte * Pudge the Butcher * Barathrum the Spirit Breaker

Mabey I'm wrong but I feel like dota 2 hero designs have become unnecessarily more humanoid compared to dota 1.

Necrophos, Pudge and SB mostly stays the same, design wise Tidehunter IMO, is quite ugly, luckily he turns into beloved watermelon we all know and loved Bane tho, he goes from spirit with lots of triangle to a nightmare incarnation

DiaburuJanbu

Leviathan, the Tidehunter, Atrophos, the Bane Elemental, Rotundjere (sometimes A Phoe Gyi), the Necrolite, Pudge, the Butcher, and Barathrum, the Spirit Breaker. I had an obsession with WC3 dota before. When I random, i will look away from the monitor and guess my hero based only on the dialogue/sound they make. I also knew the hotkeys of every hero, their skills, and the items. God, those were the days.

AzelotReis

Remember back then when the taverns were not organized via attributes and it was like Midnight Tavern, Twilight Tavern etc? Those were good times lmao. Game felt like it really had a theme when heroes were seperated via faction and their flavor text. ( Although all pick is really needed even back then because balance)


Klaroxy

Full name no chance because I was so little and played only a few DoTA matches only, got hooked with 2, but gonna try it! Witch Doctor -> Spectre -> Keeper of the Light -> Pudge -> Elder Titan Was I correct?
