IO from #dota2 a hero I designed from my theory of the existence of a philotic link. Seriously I said "have them spin clockwise" why not? IO is one of my many small uncredited contributions to dota. His teleport ultimate is/was based/inspired from furions' teleport. Chen and KOTL must have helped create him lol

Some of my other contributions are :
Huskar - the one and only
Engineer - lost to dota - stationary turret that gains "orb" effects, TINKER, and Doomsday machine ultimate, that can be amplified by tinker.
Layana - Assassin Templar - the original idea behind her was to get melee bonuses but still be ranged. Never quite worked out like I envisioned BUT WHO CARES shes so bad ass!
Tusk - I'm from Alaska, SNOWBALL FIGHT! The original plan for him was Nanuk but he didn't like that idea :( so I had to remake him on the spot. Here is the original idea/inspiration for tusk:

Gyrocopter - Nuke - see my other videos.- yes I understand no one believes me. Original concept came from non other than League of Legends.
Dark Seer - concept evolved around ion shell, i had seen the idea in other wc3 maps.

Speaking of finding things in other wc3 maps I was playing a game like dota where you could make any kind of hero you wanted and I found a paladin, we waged epic war on each other, and he owned me, with this wave of bright yellow light, that bounced and healed like 10 different things, while at the same time doing AOE damage. I was amazed at the effectiveness of this spell in a 1v1 and knew its really special power came from crowd control, and the ability it had to push a lane of dota. So yep you must've guessed it this is how - DAZZLE - was born. I based his personality on my own, a stoner/medicine man, I am quite proud of this shadow priest I created. Dazzle smokes more pot than any other hero even Huskar!

Disruptor - I wanted AOE damage over there not on top of me like cm, so I didn't need to be in the middle of the battle to do damage in a team fight, the rest of him is actually based on PIT LORD another hero lost to dota that I have been trying to revive I didn't create pit but I have been making sure no one forgets him completely.

Do I get any royalties?
