Wraith King Black King Bar

His Arcana straight up calls it Bone King Bar so he must be the black king before he died right?

u/chipichunga1 14h ago

King Leoric from Diablo, whome Skeleton King was originaly based on in WC3 Dota was nicknamed "The Black King"

u/Nimda_lel 9h ago

Sorry, but it is meshersmidt reaver, thanks

2

u/Njif 8h ago

The pronunciation maybe, but it's spelled Messerschmidt's in Dota Allstars

u/Nimda_lel 8h ago

Nope, it is 100% mesersmith

2

u/Njif 7h ago

Come to think of it, isn't it Meszashukecherterschmidt?

2

u/Nimda_lel 7h ago

Really? You seem to have been playing since 2008 when they changed the name - it simply is messharkersensmits, dunno what is so hard for people to understand…

u/DaokoXD 13h ago

Wut? Hoodwink Created Gleipnir. Lore wise, Hoodwink will have Gleipnir in her build.

Bro didn't read the assignment

Pheonix radiance Winter wyvern shiva's guard Primal beast hot

u/WolfyMusicPH 15h ago

Sadge how they sorta nerfed radiance on Phoenix. Doesn’t help protect the egg anymore :/

3

u/DeAuTh1511 14h ago

should bring back Phoenix's Blinding Sun facet as an innate and let it apply to item debuffs too. Would require re-balancing though.

2

u/WolfyMusicPH 12h ago

I’d advocate for allowing sources of evasion to proc during egg lol

u/inunng 15h ago

Zeus mjolnir?

Seems wrong since mjolnir is Thors hammer.

6

u/Diceslice sheever 14h ago

But Zeus was a Mountain King in WC3 and hence he looked more like Thor, so with some mental gymnastics it works.

u/inunng 14h ago

Right i forgot that

Why is nyx dagon?

•

u/Top-Giraffe3890 57m ago

There's a cosmetic call nyx assassin dagon and the description: The transformation of the Nyx Assassin from his goddess' blessing has imbued him with strange energies, causing a growth that allows him to channel the power of Dagon.

u/Marshrandyqt 7h ago

Mybe dagon should be Slardar.

u/eckart 15h ago

I think lore-wise its razors item, he’s the lightning revenant guarding the narrow maze

8

u/DaokoXD 15h ago

The Brooch was her's when she was still alive. It was a family heirloom
