I fucking hate DotA 2 art design
what would be the game like if Blizzard Developed it?

I was with you on the puck one but honestly I fucking hate Blizzard's night elf design. AM's makeover wins for me
>what would be the game like if Blizzard Developed it?
I would assume something gay like all the characters riding around on rainbow unicorn mounts or some shit
>>335111532
please tell me the AM is a chad, that haircut screams house party
better art, better polish, terrible gameplay and terrible balance
>>335112845
His name is Magina and he's always butthurt about magic.
>>335111423
>what would be the game like if Blizzard Developed it?
it's called HotS
>>335112845
>chad
fuck off /r9k/
looking at Malfurion compared to Nature's Prophet is literally vomit inducing
>Valve turns the archdruid of Kalimdor into a retarded fish
>>335111423
It would be really bad, completely devoid of any depth and they would try to cover up how boring it is by putting tons of terrible maps to confuse people long enough to get 30$ for a starter pack out of them
>>335111423
>Blizzard
Fuck em.
They had the golden goose in their hand for years and they didn't do shit.

NP does have a cool voice tho. MFW his announcer voice in DOTA2

Because valve kept on ruining their original ideas as time went by.
Look at early anti-mage , lion , Boner king , puck , phantom assasin storm spirit , brewmaster , vengeful spirit , pudge , enchantress had some changes too , Omniknight , Silencer , Venomancer , shadow fiend , and lina beta model got converted into an arcana sold for 35 dollars. even wind ranger was slightly different.
It happened the same as with TF2 , remember those cel shading looks? they were gone pretty quickly. , drifted away from the charm that originally had. Also blame cosmetic items and the lack of taste from the workshop and the retards that buy into that filth.
>>335113359
At least they didn't kill it, which is more than you can say about the current Blizzard.
>>335113271
is that an r9k thing? i was just grasping at whatever word i could use to describe it >>335113112
.....magina? is it pronounced like vagina? that can't be his actual name
>>335113460
I've never played Dota so he could be cool, but holy fuck that redesign looks awful
>>335113823
I always pronounced it as Muh-gee-nuh.
Why is the character design for DOTA 2 so shit? It's so boring and uninteresting. They all look like shitty DeviantArt creations, but not so bad that it's actually amusing or otherwise eye-catching. They're all just so unpleasant to look at.
>>335113905
oh thank god cuz saying magina is hard to do with a straight face
>>335111532
Thanks doc
>>335113962
its the whole chinese bootleg thing where they changed characters just enough to not get sue'd look at Dota2's sylvanus
>>335113962
The all look sort of bland because they are designed so that you put cosmetics on them to make them more appealing. If they were good from the start cosmetics would make no sense.
>>335114070
They didn't change them because icefrog is a dummy and wanted the characters to be somewhat close to what they looked like in the warcraft mod.
At least rubick looks good.
>>335114243

Right = Old model.

>>335114412
I don't understand what you're trying to say.
>>335114487
if icefrog wanted his characters to look like WC3 dota, he wouldn´t have ruined lion in the first place.
so nah, he just doesn´t care about quality. nor does valve.
>>335113962
id agree that some effects and design are very basic fantasy style and dont really have that much flair into them
im fine with that personally
if youre a fat rotting undead butcher do you need to get more fancy outside that?
if a spell can curse you down into a pig or a fish you really dont need much flair to go with it?
i can welcome something extra eye-catching but not too much
theres a fine line when it comes between wanting to be extra flashy and wanting beach clothing
>>335111532
Antimage is illidian? How did I never know this before... I'm retarded?
>>335113986
Yeah it's pronounced ma-gee-nah or muh-gee-nuh
>>335111423
Total dogshit like everything else they make.
>>335114695
theyre pretty muchthe same person when it comes to the character models in wc3
im wc3 dota
am is basically the RoC version of illidan
terrorblade is the demon version of illidan when he picked up the skull of guldan thing in TFT
lore wise theyre twin brothers but they dropped the concept when d2 came out
>>335111423
HotS.
So, shit
>>335111423
Modern day blizzard? It'd look fucking awful.
>>335114909
>lore wise theyre twin brothers
That was the best story-plot thing ever created for Dota.
>>335115257
they kept some of the wc3 dota lore but not that much though
i really liked their twin brother lore they had on wc3 dota and they even had plans to keep em as confirmed by their rivalry lines in the wiki
dota2 am's lore had SPACE to fit their twin brother backstory but for some reason they didnt run with it and just dropped it
>>335115520
Instead Terrorblade broke out of Hell Hell because of how cool and edgy and strong he is
>>335115842
hes just some generic demon thing form 12893713th hell
i can understand that their writers dont want to bother too much with flavor text but come on
>>335111423
Dota is made with high standards design and modeling (cosmetics not considered of course)
the game is made so your brain can understand easily what's going on in the screen all the time, well developed contrast between heroes/terrain/buildings/spells
the artstyle guarantees complementary couloring, silhouette recognition, and to be pleasant to the viewer, of course at normal gameplay distance
there are no acid or conflicting saturation of colors like like in early league of legends, heroes of newerth, and warcraft 3, and this very theory is applied in heroes of the storm too, but conflicts with the pseudo realistic lightning of the starcraft 2 engine
the problem with heroes is that suffers of some disgusting proportion problems between heroes, structures and creep, everything looks inflated and looks like a fucking cartoony balloon parade
I'm not saying HotS has horrible hero design
comparing artstye and design between Dota's and HotS it's just like comparing Pixar and Dreamworks movies
both are 3D animation movies, but one is just looks better executed and pleasant to the eye
sorry for the long rant, but whatever
why I am even writting this, OP seems like a colossal baiting faggot
tl;dr OP is and uncultured retarded piece of shit
>>335116013
I read that in Raul Julia's voice
You guys realize they had to redesign the characters so that they were not infringing on Blizz copyrights, right?
Of course Blizzard's version is going to look more like the original, they own the IP.
And furthermore, anyone who seriously tries to tell you the models at release were better than the ones we have now is misremembering. Go back and look at the models. They're awful.
>>335115958
They really were just taking the piss at that point
>Stop hitting yourself stop hitting yourselfhttp://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/dota2.gamepedia.com/c/c3/Terr_reflection_01.mp3
>>335116343
Both Skeleton King and old Lion looked better. Demon Witch from WC3 DotA looked like ass though.
>>335114243
rubrick is fantastic and it's sad the rest of the cast didn't get that amount of personality... im sure their are a few winners but way to many losers
>>335114203
so would you say skins are better? cosmetics always seemed underwhelming to me but if they are actually harming the cheracters design thats pretty fucking bad
>>335114696
those are both fine, fantasy names without being stupid
dota 2 made in china
>>335118682
sure looks like it
>Liking modern blizzard designs
>>335111423
still hideous. blizzard sucks at art direction
>>335113832
Fish? He just doesn't have a nose. It's a bold design choice
>>335111423
You like over designed shit and don't understand art at all? Okay

I wish retards would look at the guidelines for creating content for the in-game models so they would understand at all what level of thought goes into all of this.
>>335114243
Because the countless people who played it initially would be confused if characters looked totally different

Besides a handful of exceptions, Dota 2 has great hero designs.
No shit they look different from Warcraft 3, Valve doesn't want to get sued.
