So is Radiant good and Dire evil?

So is Radiant good and Dire evil?

They are both goyim and Valve is the (((Jew)))

They're just about aesthetics. Radiant and Dire are split parts of a whole thing sundered, the Mad Moon. Life cannot exist without Death and Death cannot exist without Life. Shadows only exist thanks to Light and Light would be meaningless without Darker shades. This is why Radiant has arguably extremely evil but seemingly good characters (Keeper of the Light, Bounty Hunter, etc.) and the other way around with the Dire (Chaos Knight, Lycan etc.)

They are both evil entities

Revered vs feared

I love how no one ever notices that this whole genre is a 1:1 ripoff of warcraft 3 even down to the glitches.

They used to be in DotA 1(Sentinel and Scourge) but in Dota 2 they didn't want a good vs evil theme so they renamed them.

radiant evil dire good

because kotl is radiant

Really makes you think....

I don't think there's much of that in games other than Dota.
Some things that could be considered bugs in WC3 Dota became integral to the gameplay and balance that they had to be ported over to Dota 2

>pwned
How fucking long has it been?

>Some things that could be considered bugs in WC3 Dota became integral

Example? I played WC3 a little back then, but never got into Dota before Dota 2.

Radiant = to be Revered.
Dire = to be Feared.

Different kind of influences, both Ancients are pretty selfish and a lot of radiant heroes are cunts.

how is kotl evil

Since forever. It was already old in 1998, when I was a teen.

>how is kotl evil
Haven't read into the lore for a while but I'm pretty sure its because he wants to return to the original state of everything being 'light' or erasing everything or w/e

The one with more russians in the team is the evil

>It is said that on the dawn of the First Day, all the night creatures perished. All, that is, save one. Evil's embodiment, Night Stalker delights in his malevolence [...]

KotL literally extinguished all live except for the incarnation of Evil itself

>furion is good
>dazzle is evil
???

...

omg

>1998
You're thinking of owned

All night creatures, not all life.

Admittedly genocide could be considered evil but so could being a fucking monstrous vampire creature

wtf i love genocide now

Denying
Tower retargeting when you a+click a friendly creep.
Stacking neutral camps by pulling them away from their spawn box.
Bloking neutral spawns with a ward
Tiny avalanche toss dealing double damage

Believe me, I mean pwned. Look at the right of your O key.

he's a misogynist who perpetuates rape culture

His mere existence infringes the copyright laws.

wow really the game is based of wc3 i never knew.................

These are legit mechanics by now. Removing any of them would break balance if not the whole game.

Neither is exclusively evil.

Weaver for example could be on either side. Yes he made a mistake but it wasn't in bad intention. Pudge is not evil he's a man with a job. He cleans up the mess made after war. KotL wiped out all but one of an entire race. Io, is the light is all things. ALL things. Chaos Knight wants to expunge the light. However in doing so he'd sees to exist and would have no purpose. He is the Darkness in all things. Enigma is a black hole given physical form. He does what a black hole, do. Lycan, is a werewolf who was basically fucked over in every foreseeable way. AM, is simply a man with a job. He knows no better and simply does what he has been told. Same for Templar and Phantom Assassin. Phantom Lancer was a fucking fisherman who was given an amazing power after Abysal Underlord and his group showed up. This is roughly the same time, Legion Commander's entire kingdom is obliterated. Pugna was literally minding his own business. Lion, was a foolish witch. Lich, was a 'bad' mage who was frozen for all time. He defrosted and he's not happy. Tiny, is a fucking rock. I could go on forever.

>Tiny, is a fucking rock
With a quarry to settle!

actually dire is less evil than radiant

own3d suckaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!111111111oneoneone

this is actually p good

Dota lore is shit and makes literally zero sense

They should have kept it as close to WC3 dota as possible.

>TB and antimage are no longer brothers

Actually, they don't say yes or no on that. Plus the outside reason they were was because they both used the Illidan body. Valve made it pretty clear just like with Techies they never wanted to add them. TB is literally.. I'm so bad ass I was put in bad ass jail and I was to bad ass to be held there so they need kicked me out of hell because I was too bad ass for that.

Needs to be updated tho.

...

>Weaver for example could be on either side
There was a time in WC3 Dota when some heroes were neutral, and in -pick mode either side could pick them. Literally no one played -pick mode though.

>There will never be a mode where it's literally Dire vs Radiant with each faction only getting to pick their respective heroes

Can some programmerfag do a custom game?

see

wrong,the mad moon is what the two gods who constantly warred with each other were imprisoned in
read up on your lore before spouting bullshit you dumb nigger

>Anti-Mage
>Man with a job

He's literally obsessed with revenge.

Wasn't that the point?

>dota 2 lore discussions

desu valve has a lot of potential for plot /character development, but gameplay ofcourse is more important

I really want to know more about this lad

Valve has some of the most talented writers in the industry desu.
Too bad they don't make videogames.
Do any of the comics have Invoker in them? I never bothered because I simply don't read comics so I don't know, but if Invoker makes any appearance I'd read them.

>Fell a meteorite in the middle of a battlefield and learned to mimic humans from this.
>There were no survivors.
I chuckled.

Only in a world where nightstalker exists before the universe.

Dire has fucking OP teamfight

Tidehunter, Enigma, Magnus, Sandking, Axe, Slardar, AA, Spectre.

It used to be like that but not anymore because it's fucking stupid.

What the hell, Morphling?

because he doesn't give mana when i want

>he cares about the ""lore"" in his mobas

What dota hero has the saddest backstory?

So, blizzard is responsible for

The death of MMO
The death of fps
The death of rts
The death of arts
The death of arpg

Thanks

Lycan

who's the one below tidehunter

Wraith King

Why did people forget about Ilexa? She's CUTE

Don't do that to me user you're makin me sad.

Hate playing against him buy slarks lore always interested me the most, especially the voice line of just ominous chanting he does during his ultimate. Who are the dark ones? What was he put into Dark Reef for? What did he give up to the dark ones to escape? Valve answers pls

Was it Oracle who have the most bullshit lore?

gb2reddit

You tell me

Wraith King

brightz, darkz and colorfluid

...

>spoiler

Shhhh, don't "reveal" blatantly obvious shit like that.
Maybe they will find out how "gar" happened.

>warcraft 3 even down to the glitches.
Those aren't glitches, they're "features"

Leshrac

This thread reminds me of how Square wanted a Legacy of Kain assfaggots game. Wonder how they would turn Kain and Raziel into Heroes

would Raziel be Agi or Str

Why are there 2 dragon knights?

I WENT TO HELL AND BACK..

Why aren't you playing the most versatile hero right now?
>implying I can't jungle on Meepo

kunka
he's dead but he doesn't know

If he's a dead man who keeps on living, is he really dead?

what the fuck

his ulti is a spectral boat
he oviously died in that ship sunk by Tide and haunt the map

So if Silencer and Invoker would do a mage duel, who would win?

I have more respect for Ancient Apparition now.

What the fuck?

Certainly the mindfuckiest.

silencer

Needs to be updated badly. Christ it's still got blue Omni on there. And football hat Lion. And buttface Brood. AND RED SILENCER.

reminds me of this gem

I have this one in my Dota folder, but it doesn't include the past 8 heroes I think (which is a lot since Oracle lore is almost a book)

As far as I know, they don't have any involving him. Maybe they'll make something like the TF2 comic but for a select heroes instead of all of them.

>talented writers

Very true, didn't a few of them went away because progress wasn't being made since the most of the other workers wanted to work on other games than HL3?

oh shit nigga I haven't seen this since 2013 or 2012

w a t

...

Have fun user

post more like these

more lads
giving me nostalgia for some reasn

I have a few!

no
the only writer who went away was Marc Laidlaw
all the other guys who wrote Portal, Portal 2, L4D, Half Life and Team Fortress are still there

tl;dr me

what is the most thematically appropriate hero for a tf2 player to play
