"Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things. A warrior. An animal. A trickster. Out of all the names I've been called, one has always remained my favorite: King."
bird and whirling axe???unless he good at buy smoke then transform dust wouldnt do a thing especially jump tree and transform give him sight and ward cant detect him
got a better idea against mk???the warding place is so mess up and ward on ground cant detect mk on tree unless u get ns\keeper with aghanim which is already too late for fat mk...phoenix also good btw
the mk ulti is fucking retarded...i think it gives him immunity from damage during his opening of his ulti(juz damage not immunity from stun or root)... i even had a game where i play axe and ulti him during his ulti(his hp is fucking low)...it deals no damage...seriously i think u guys shud watch out for it
if you're wondering why there releasing Sun Wu Kong it's because this year because its the year of the MONKEY next year is the year of the flaming rooster
So DotA 2 finally caved in and introduced Son Wukong as a new hero too, I see lmao Smite, Hon, LoL, and now DotA 2. Four MOBAS with Son Wukong from the Chinese folklore Journey to the West. This ape has been an inspiration for the four lmao
"Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things. A flopper. A cry baby. A choker. But one always remains my favourite: King" *- LeBron James*
from the start, saying "thot" to me wasnt logical in the first place. And he just called a 13 year old a thot, youre the one who based off acuusations from what im saying, you didnt even look deep into it, but then again why would you?
Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things; a warrior, an animal, a trickster, of all the names I've been called; one has always been my favorite; king.
I'm thinking he has a skill that gives true strike for a certain amount of time, cuz he would be OP if he has a passive that grants true strike *PA and WR on vacation forever*
what balance..? from what I remember dota 2 is balance.. If u say that many heroes can easily win the game then u're a fucking noob and doesnt have the word COUNTERPICK in your little brain.. If u even have a brain.
I have a question, some visual textures from the games are unseen for me, and by that i mean x marks the spot and the yellow radius line for the neutral camps (It was on, don't worry).I tried reinstalling dota, reinstalling steam and dota, but it didn't work.Help pls?
Monkey King is not really a "King", just like how A-God (Ana or Arteezy) are not "Gods". Chinese literatures have a tendency to attach those words for dramatic effect. In the original novel, MK is actually a trickster, so him having a more clown-like VA is perfect for him.
@@OHOHOHCOME Monkey King still counts as the King of monkeys and later become a true battle god in the novel so I do think it would be refreshing to have a king-like voiceover for MK with just a tad of mischief voice. Meanwhile, A-God is just an abbreviation of god-like gamer from Chinese and there is nothing to do with dramatic effect.
I actually hope he can summon his companions from Journey to the West, or have them be separate heroes instead, cause that would be pretty darn awesome if he can.
At last, 5 years have to pass, to see a Hero trailer cinematic from Valve. This is amazing work, i hope i realy hope that well see more cinematics like this for all the entire character of Dota 2 and future incoming chars.
Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things. A warrior, an animal, the trickster. But of all the names I've been called, one is always remain my favorite, "King".
From the trailer alone, I suspect he'll have an ability where he'll replace an entire Minion Wave of just him. I think that'd be a pretty cool ability while sacrificing lane pressure for an army during a teamfight... maybe? I can see somethin fun out of it.
The Monkey king is a Chinese myth So is Zeus he is a myth ( seen him in ALOT of games ) so is Medusa she is a myth too (seen her in lots mmorpg games like Silkroad online and other ) Why everyone right now pissed cause game companys using myths in games that other game companys use
If u know a little about Asian culture, you will realise that Son Wukong is a famous character based off in the 16th century Chinese lore which is called 'The Journey to the West'
be sure what youre talking about kid..in dota 1 monkey king bar was already there, LOL and HON didnt exist at that time.. so in conclusion.. LOL and HON are the real copycat of the monkeyking hero. BTW wukong was mentioned in the description of the MKB ( monkey king bar)
Wukong doesn't belong to Valve or Riot or any other company as well. Still, Warcraft does have a character that was inspired by Sun Wukong named The Monkey King.
Saarabaz, the GuuG I knew there would be something lol. They'll just release him and be like "checkmate" Not that I care. Personally I'm done with MOBA's in general.
I've always thought phantom lancer resembled monkey king since since it's release in wcFT 6.2 or something. Especially with it's illusion skills, and the rod he's carrying, or has it always been a spear? Either way, very similar.
what moves the monkey king i think will have off this trailer 1.a simple aoe stun with his stick 0:10 2. some kind of speed boost and invisibility in trees 0:16 3. for his ult he get some fake monkey kings to help him fight 0:31
I think MK being able to dupe himself is based on some Chinese myth of some sort, I think I've see it from a cartoon or tv show before, using hair to make some clones.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't PL some kind of Monkey King with all that illusions and stuff? They look alike and PL even has a skin making his weapon MKB if I recall correctly
ok league, even though dota didn't steal wukong, lets just say we did. Lets just remind ourselves of some of the heroes you stole ( theres more but can't remember of the top of my head) Warwick:bloodseeker ashe:drow ranger teemo:techies elise:broodmother evelynn:riki poppy:lone druid ezreal: skywrath thresh? (not sure his name):pudge garen:sven. Stfu lol players
Well, prettymuch most (if not all) League champions are originated from DotA Allstars. Let me remind you that the original creators of LoL had come from DotA AS as well as Icefrog (creator of DOTA 2)
I play both games and they both have unique characters.. design wise? maybe ashe and drow.. but skill wise? nope.. they all play too different to say that this game copied this game.. so stfu and stop calling yourself a gamer for being too biased for 1 game.. league is not HoN which just blatantly rips off characters from the father of moba..
+raidendt because riot is being tryharding in changing champion skillsets to differentiate each other, even though each time they release new champions they created another better version of existing champion. which might indicate the main point of them changing champs skillsets is just to make it seems different even more from dota allstar heroes
So new hero coming out in two months, along with already anticipated Pit Lord. Time for some guesswork! From what I make of the trailer, he looks to be an agility based carry/utility hero. There can be one of the two ultimates. Either PL's old illusion skill. Or its an AOE based stun (the scene where he slams the staff to the ground). He also looks to be using trees to move around, and I don't think that was just for the trailer. Maybe that's his mobility? Two things I can think of. Short jump ability from one tree to other with a cool down of 5 seconds (like blink or time walk), OR, instead of mobility, it's a passive, that makes him gain move speed when very close (like 100AOE) to the tree. There is also the possibility of going invisible near tree, like treant, but only for limited time (based on how beastmaster loses him). There appears to be at least one passive ability. There is one more thing I can think of as the skill. When you pop the illusion based skill, the copies and the hero just run straight forward in the direction you are facing for say 1000 distance, while attacking and damaging anything in the path of an 300 AOE in front of the hero, and then disappear. While active the hero is mixed with the copies confusing the enemies, and gains increased movement speed. The copies are uncontrollable. One last active might be ability to gain true strike, for say 5 seconds. I mean its the Monkey King. His staff has been in dota since beginning, it's only natural that he gets innate ability to true strike.
I think it will be an aoe stun where he slams the ground on q invis/turning into a tree for a limited time on w true strike passive/limited time true strike on e and the ult will be the illusion army running forward.
Dont u think that skill that gives u only true strike is quiet poor? I hope it will give true strike for heroes who has evasion and some crits or someshit for others.
I've been called many things, a Warrior, an animal, a Trickster. But all of the names I've been called... The one that always remained my favorite... *Dramatic Music* Harambe.
Beastmaster nerf confirmed
hahahahahaa
didnt even use hawk to scout, report.
You still suck!
You suck! You suck! You suck!
ahahahhaha rofl
Starts the game with MKB.
top kek
phantom lancer's pick rate about to drop.
+Crystal Mascot PHANTOM LANCERS MY MAIN WHY ICEFROG :(
Ethan Lee fucking right? I just recently develop a new way to use him and now disss :
a passive skill maybe?
0:10 His Q
0:17 Tree Dance
0:19 Trickster
0:27 Wukong Command
vienes del cielo
Look, I play both LoL and Dota 2. I've played both Wukongs.
But I find this Wukong to be better in design, character and playstyle.
True, they really need to rework Lol's Wukong... sadly it's hard to have a good wukong with a limited skill set
I played almost all MOBAs and this Wukong was my fav. Jumping from tree to tree never got old.
Yeah Wukong in LoL is a mess. Either God tier or trash tier and this year he's been trash. He needs a rework.
Aaah, good old 2016, remember i Player only Wukong in b5...now im playing Dota,and this Wukong is funnier,than LoL's
He gets a mini rework for his clone, it also now attacks, from what i heard
But he definitely needs a full package rework
HARAMBE TRIBUTE, RESPECT VALVE
HAHAAHAAAAAAHAHA
it was already hinted way back in 2013, a dota 1 warcraft map has this hero as a boss.
Harambe will be proud
DICKS OUT FOR SUN WUKONG
xD
Thank you Valve for bringing back Harambe
DICK STAYS OUT
congrats max
Congratulations on your victory in the short film contest!
Congrats
You sound so bitter and salty. What did life ever do to you. Let the guy have fun and you need to learn to chill.
Rewatching this because Black Myth: Wukong trailer just dropped
Omg yes, i sure did too, dota wukong is pretty accurate but a full game with all of his trick and power? Fucking amazing.
TI9 Finals and we see his greatness in the hands of a master
Mk was made to let Topson win two TIs
Godson 🔥
Indeed. ☺☺
it's been 2 years and this comment still on top, fire!
Ti8 mk is underrated
ITS HIGH NOOOOONN
x2
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH that's the one
that I knew the voice from somewhere but I didnt remenber it means that I haven't played Overwatch in a while. lol
Dammit, 16 minutes late
DRAW!
Name's Mccree.
Woah there.
....... When he is released..... we must find out if he is voiced by the same guy..... WE MUST DO THJS
+Danny Caracciolo ...its already been confirmed that he is voiced by the same guy....
It's Matthew Mercer.. and yes it's the same voice actor as Mccree
Jesse McCree? That's a terrible name for a cowboy!
"Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things. A warrior. An animal. A trickster. Out of all the names I've been called, one has always remained my favorite: King."
Nice one
omprakash sahoo 0:04 …
goosebumps the moment I watched this trailer live 👌🔥
Monkey King
How ironic it is that Beast Master is a good counter to him....
bird and whirling axe???unless he good at buy smoke then transform dust wouldnt do a thing especially jump tree and transform give him sight and ward cant detect him
got a better idea against mk???the warding place is so mess up and ward on ground cant detect mk on tree unless u get ns\keeper with aghanim which is already too late for fat mk...phoenix also good btw
Also when monkey king jumps to a tree timbersaw can hook to it and cut it at the same time so its very easy to chase him and stun him.
the mk ulti is fucking retarded...i think it gives him immunity from damage during his opening of his ulti(juz damage not immunity from stun or root)... i even had a game where i play axe and ulti him during his ulti(his hp is fucking low)...it deals no damage...seriously i think u guys shud watch out for it
***** He can chakram it.
Can we also appreciate how well this is animated?
Since when was the last time we got _legit_ quality Valve animations?
since the marci, void spirit,
lies, He preffers to be called the great sage equal to heaven.
Mori Jin liked the post.
'But of all the names I've been called; one has always remained my favourite: Harambe'
if you're wondering why there releasing Sun Wu Kong it's because this year because its the year of the MONKEY next year is the year of the flaming rooster
so next year they will release king cock?
+Nevamal Sithra Acharige lol maybe if icefrog and valve get fucking mental
+Rain-B-Bane Lmfaooo king cock
But gg they already released phoenix rip flaming rooster
Next year is chicken year, hope comes chicken hero
A flaming chicken courier. DUH?!
So DotA 2 finally caved in and introduced Son Wukong as a new hero too, I see lmao
Smite, Hon, LoL, and now DotA 2.
Four MOBAS with Son Wukong from the Chinese folklore Journey to the West.
This ape has been an inspiration for the four lmao
"Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things. A flopper. A cry baby. A choker. But one always remains my favourite: King" *- LeBron James*
the question is, what name are they gonna use?
son goku or sun wukong?
Derek Furst well then, were having another "K" hero..
Ryuujiish I don't know what they is
Ryuujiish ah. Well how many heroes have "assassin" or "spirit" in it
Derek Furst alot of them.
WuKu or GoKong
wukong?? what are you doing here??
Fck u lol
+Mecha Charizard - How can they be late, if they timed it well :)
bit late timed well oxymoron?
Wukongs knows LOL is a joke, so he decided to switch
Valvetime
LMFAO. not another illusion hero goddamnit volvo
Pl is crying now.
nope just get jakiro or distruptor
+himo kadah secretly released just so people will pick jakiro kappa
he will be an illusion and TREE hero!!!
im crying now
It's official that Son wukong is in every MOBA games
SpymanTIVC Sun Wukong: The Moba King
hes literally that one guy who breaks the fourth wall of every moba game haha
Blaire Pizza where are you basing your accusations about him/her? You already lost the argument logically.
from the start, saying "thot" to me wasnt logical in the first place. And he just called a 13 year old a thot, youre the one who based off acuusations from what im saying, you didnt even look deep into it, but then again why would you?
Blaire Pizza *accusations
Over the course of my journeys, I've been called many things; a warrior, an animal, a trickster, of all the names I've been called; one has always been my favorite; king.
wraith king is jealous..........................new king coming this fall
haha
you forgot sandking dude
Phạm Tuấn Anh If you ever read the story, sand king isn't an actual king...
LMAO
It's gonna be like in frostivus 2013:
"By the decree of the only king that matters, WuKong is cancelled"
Fun fact: Monkey King is voiced by McCree from Overwatch, Gangplank from LoL, Robin from Batman Arkham Knight and of course Monkey King from HoN.
Good thing he wasn't voiced by Wukong from LoL.
Thought i heard matt mercer
his second time playing as the monkey king, interesting
+Nobblk Praetorian or Wukong from Smite.
I knew I heard this sexiness somewhere before!
The soundtrack that his ultimate has is just plain awesome, I want it as a full song.
if you want to hear it more, go search for "tari kecak", that sound is from kind of ritual. it was badass
Darren Bent wow thanks mate
balinesse dance it is call tari kecak
Hold up now!
He sounds like McCree from Overwatch.
He is...
ITS HIGH NOOON
its the same voice acter
+natures profit Woah there
Easy!
+Jc Campol No, Yasuo is voiced by Liam O'brien. McCree is voiced by Matt Mercer.
first recommended: MKB ! :)
Mkb free starting item icefrog pls
the hero probably will have self built MKB. No need for the item... because he is the rightful owner of MKB.
maybe he does not need mkb. when he hit beastmaster and he feel he was stunned so maybe yeah. but maybe he also need it we don't know yet
I'm thinking he has a skill that gives true strike for a certain amount of time, cuz he would be OP if he has a passive that grants true strike *PA and WR on vacation forever*
+Liz Young Maybe his ulti which has a short cooldown?
Of course! It's a standard that all MOBA/ARTS Games should have the Monkey King in the roster but in my heart, HoN Monkey King is best Monkey King.
First person to say something like that and not accuse Dota of copying thank you
About that, we just have to wait about it since Icefrog heroes are completely different from each other.
Muhammad Nazrin Knowing IceFrog, I'm sure he'll come up with movesets that was done in Journey to the West but not utilized as skills in games yet.
He was so fun to play with all that mobility for initiation and escape.
+Vin the Hunter That is going to be interesting.
I've been called many things, one has always been my favourite 'monke'.
The background music sounds like "tari kecak" from Bali, Indonesia with those chanting and "gamelan" instruments
.
Willy Wonka well, someone cared enough to reply 😁
WOOOAAHHHH. You got roasted bud. GET THE FACK OUTTTA HERE, Mang. You were roasted like Marshmellow. Willy Wonka BTFO.
that is ..enlightening
You replied...
>Can't balance existing heroes
>Adding 2 new ones
what balance..? from what I remember dota 2 is balance.. If u say that many heroes can easily win the game then u're a fucking noob and doesnt have the word COUNTERPICK in your little brain.. If u even have a brain.
Less
I think it's like 30 or less than that (in LoL)
30-40 are good in competitive in Lol, and league has like 130~ champions, new garbage champion every week, 0 balancing
+Zeghart well said, mh friend
-But the all the names, I've been called, one is always remain my favorite.
-HARAMBE.
My fave hero since I mastered his playstyle and I just realized I was born in the year of the Monkey
I have a question, some visual textures from the games are unseen for me, and by that i mean x marks the spot and the yellow radius line for the neutral camps (It was on, don't worry).I tried reinstalling dota, reinstalling steam and dota, but it didn't work.Help pls?
harambe never died
valve just hired Harambe for DotA 2
Going by these comments, not a lot of gamers know of famous Chinese mythology. Either that or you just love to piss each other off.
I'm so triggered with this LoL/smite/HoN players...
moba players in general are trollish assholes, but i can't imagine most westerners know anything about chinese mythology
We love to piss people off
both
well if valve is releasing some deprecated heroes they better bring out the gambler soon...
agree
He's already on the works, its the 1st one that icefraud wants to bring it back from limbo
icefraud.... man you are so witty and clever.
cant wait for valve to steal my money in game as well as irl
Nope that's too Op
I can never get over how truly sad it is that they recast his VA. Matthew Mercer would've added such powerful and 'king'-like melody to mk's voice.
now that u say that, i agree, he sounds stronger.
Monkey King is not really a "King", just like how A-God (Ana or Arteezy) are not "Gods". Chinese literatures have a tendency to attach those words for dramatic effect. In the original novel, MK is actually a trickster, so him having a more clown-like VA is perfect for him.

I actually hope he can summon his companions from Journey to the West, or have them be separate heroes instead, cause that would be pretty darn awesome if he can.
We already have kotl(his master), britleback(piggy), and tide hunter/slarder(sea monster) though
no, sand king
How about our almighty bull king? With his 17% almighty bash???
I can see people making skins for them in this regard. Dope!
The piggy, Zhu Bajie, is already a courier in Dota 2
Damn i felt so old watching this at 2023
At last, 5 years have to pass, to see a Hero trailer cinematic from Valve. This is amazing work, i hope i realy hope that well see more cinematics like this for all the entire character of Dota 2 and future incoming chars.
has a bonus special passive when purchassing MKB
Dota2 story mode by Telltale Games
The secret quest in 6.79 and Banana tease lead up to this! Can't wait for hidden thing in 6.89
0:31 "WU-KONG, WU-KONG, WU-KONG" anybody hear that?
Er...i dont play lol and plus i found this video in the suggestions, so i wouldnt exactly know about dota
Over the course of my journeys,
I've been called many things.
A warrior, an animal, the trickster.
But of all the names I've been called,
one is always remain my favorite,
"King".
Isnt it Arcana for PL ???
no it's a new hero
but his illusion skill is similar to plantom lancer's one? im confused... may be a remodel?
+lordbossharrow no its just a hero like pl and pl hasnt got a skill that instant summon 6-9 illusion.
+Conan Conan no he isn't xd just look up maybe something to do with feline spearman I guess and maybe you'll find what he is
From the trailer alone, I suspect he'll have an ability where he'll replace an entire Minion Wave of just him. I think that'd be a pretty cool ability while sacrificing lane pressure for an army during a teamfight... maybe? I can see somethin fun out of it.
Is there a fucking law that every Moba needs Sun Wukong in it? Lol, Smite, Hon, Awesomenauts has a skin and now Dota?
ofc cuz its the most popular character in China and other eastern Asian countries.
Warframe,Naruto,Toriko,DBZ,etc
'' Journey to the West ''
Literally
not just dota
even other videogames do it
He was actually going to be added a long time ago to Dota 1 but got cut last minute, they are just finally going to add him now.
the background music reminded me a lot with Kecak from Bali
me too
meera daisy yeah definitely it's Kecak music
yes i think so
i use to be so hype about this hero I don't realize it was already 7 years ago
Trailer
Monkey king > Beast master
actual game
Monkey king < Beast master
lol no
Monkey King is a hard carry who is OP as fuck
Beast Master counters him hard because of his ability to destroy trees and keep MK disabled.
JoJo Stout mybe he thinks that all hard carry can't be countered early and mid games, maybe?
jessie briones i fckinn agree should dota name it just monkey not a king, bvz if king he should use cloud nimbus
yes,hard carry with 0 base armor
anyone watching this again aftrr TI?
Oh crap I didn't even know about this, excited for this!!!
one of my favorite support hero 🐒
The Monkey king is a Chinese myth
So is Zeus he is a myth ( seen him in ALOT of games )
so is Medusa she is a myth too (seen her in lots mmorpg games like Silkroad online and other )
Why everyone right now pissed cause game companys using myths in games that other game companys use
It it just me or is he voiced by Matt Mercer?
If you don't know who is Matt Mercer, he voices Chrom from Fire Emblem and McCree from Overwatch
yep
INB4 'High Noon' Jokes
You forgot the best one - Dungeon Master in Critical Role. That show really shows his amazing array of voices
It is
I agree so hard.
This hero is now my favourite cant wait to learn everything about him ... much gansta so wow
One of the best depictions of Sun Wukong in MOBAs. If not the best.
Wukong copycat confirmed.
If u know a little about Asian culture, you will realise that Son Wukong is a famous character based off in the 16th century Chinese lore which is called 'The Journey to the West'
every Moba and Arts has a Wukong
Lol came from dota, so yeah it was a copy. By league of lesbians.
be sure what youre talking about kid..in dota 1 monkey king bar was already there, LOL and HON didnt exist at that time.. so in conclusion.. LOL and HON are the real copycat of the monkeyking hero. BTW wukong was mentioned in the description of the MKB ( monkey king bar)
It is Wukong you fucking idiot
Alright, so now we'll count the days until Heroes of the Storm announces Wukong, so we can get him in every MOBA, Kappa.
Actually that wouldn't fit since HotS is based on Blizzard characters, Wu Kong is not a Blizzard character.
Wukong doesn't belong to Valve or Riot or any other company as well. Still, Warcraft does have a character that was inspired by Sun Wukong named The Monkey King.
Saarabaz, the GuuG
I knew there would be something lol.
They'll just release him and be like "checkmate"
Not that I care. Personally I'm done with MOBA's in general.
Goosebumps at the end before he said "King"!!
I've always thought phantom lancer resembled monkey king since since it's release in wcFT 6.2 or something. Especially with it's illusion skills, and the rod he's carrying, or has it always been a spear? Either way, very similar.
Sounds like motherfucking McCree!!
same voice actor
+Kaltrex nice profile pic
Because it is lol
yep, it is the same voice actor
It's high noon.
I am just back bcoz the background music was awesome kecak from bali indonesia
what moves the monkey king i think will have off this trailer
1.a simple aoe stun with his stick 0:10
2. some kind of speed boost and invisibility in trees 0:16
3. for his ult he get some fake monkey kings to help him fight 0:31
Already release. And have a long description of the skills.
Is this a new character or a PL arcana? i am legit confused
new hero
+CarBasher thank you
Old hero*
I think MK being able to dupe himself is based on some Chinese myth of some sort, I think I've see it from a cartoon or tv show before, using hair to make some clones.
its from a movie
RIP Phantom Assassin
“Hey we are Valve, lets make a fucking low budget animation even though we are shitting money“
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't PL some kind of Monkey King with all that illusions and stuff? They look alike and PL even has a skin making his weapon MKB if I recall correctly
He better be able to climb trees now
Granted
ok league, even though dota didn't steal wukong, lets just say we did.
Lets just remind ourselves of some of the heroes you stole ( theres more but can't remember of the top of my head)
Warwick:bloodseeker
ashe:drow ranger
teemo:techies
elise:broodmother
evelynn:riki
poppy:lone druid
ezreal: skywrath
thresh? (not sure his name):pudge
garen:sven.
Stfu lol players
i didn't get the similarity between poppy and syllabear. also dont forget gyrocopter:corki
Well, prettymuch most (if not all) League champions are originated from DotA Allstars.
Let me remind you that the original creators of LoL had come from DotA AS as well as Icefrog (creator of DOTA 2)
I play both games and they both have unique characters.. design wise? maybe ashe and drow.. but skill wise? nope.. they all play too different to say that this game copied this game.. so stfu and stop calling yourself a gamer for being too biased for 1 game..
league is not HoN which just blatantly rips off characters from the father of moba..
+raidendt because riot is being tryharding in changing champion skillsets to differentiate each other, even though each time they release new champions they created another better version of existing champion. which might indicate the main point of them changing champs skillsets is just to make it seems different even more from dota allstar heroes
And don't forget Aurelion Sol as mainly IO, as well.
You're ALL wrong. This isn't Wukong from LoL. This is Sun Wukong from Journey to the West, the same novel that inspired Dragon Ball!
this music is so epic and hype man, chills!
It's highnoon!!!
Oh... wrong game
he looks like dendi
ikr
who is dendi
+lalalaaaa Founder of DotA
it seem only european east people know dendi, so don't care about him, don't worth
+Raym Lazare (silent) im from asian i know dendi ... Na'vi player
So new hero coming out in two months, along with already anticipated Pit Lord. Time for some guesswork!
From what I make of the trailer, he looks to be an agility based carry/utility hero.
There can be one of the two ultimates. Either PL's old illusion skill. Or its an AOE based stun (the scene where he slams the staff to the ground).
He also looks to be using trees to move around, and I don't think that was just for the trailer. Maybe that's his mobility? Two things I can think of. Short jump ability from one tree to other with a cool down of 5 seconds (like blink or time walk), OR, instead of mobility, it's a passive, that makes him gain move speed when very close (like 100AOE) to the tree. There is also the possibility of going invisible near tree, like treant, but only for limited time (based on how beastmaster loses him).
There appears to be at least one passive ability.
There is one more thing I can think of as the skill. When you pop the illusion based skill, the copies and the hero just run straight forward in the direction you are facing for say 1000 distance, while attacking and damaging anything in the path of an 300 AOE in front of the hero, and then disappear. While active the hero is mixed with the copies confusing the enemies, and gains increased movement speed. The copies are uncontrollable.
One last active might be ability to gain true strike, for say 5 seconds. I mean its the Monkey King. His staff has been in dota since beginning, it's only natural that he gets innate ability to true strike.
I think it will be an aoe stun where he slams the ground on q
invis/turning into a tree for a limited time on w
true strike passive/limited time true strike on e
and the ult will be the illusion army running forward.
Yeah, hes definitely gotta have a truestrike ability/passive
Dont u think that skill that gives u only true strike is quiet poor? I hope it will give true strike for heroes who has evasion and some crits or someshit for others.
+Семён Але I dunno the specifics of what the ability should be, but he needs truestrike somewhere, or else MKB wouldnt make any sense
Семён Але its ofcourse true strike with minibash, like mkb.
I've been called many things, a Warrior, an animal, a Trickster. But all of the names I've been called... The one that always remained my favorite...

Harambe.
is that a new hero or just phantom lancer re-skinned (like skeleton king to wraith king)
Thats Mcree's voice actor !
OH SHIT ITS HIGH NOON
It's always high noon
Well what i have to say. I don't think there would be a new hero, but most likely it would be a themed event. Like the "New year Dragon" one etc.
so this new hero is, the end of the old school dota heroes.
the start of the new ages of heroes
YEAH!!!!!
Maccree's Voice?
is this a remodel for phantom Lancer cuz I can't tell a difference in the hero style
So fucking awesome ..
Welcome, my king
comimg this fall. bitch please, its the winter already
Technically, Winter starts at Dec 21/22.
yup, but its snowing already where i am :(
THE HYPE
The illusions look cool, but if I'm not mistaken this hero will be able to traverse the trees? That's pretty cool
Are they gonna replace phantom lancer with this one? Cause it surely has the same duplicate ability as PL.
Bananas wasnt about XBOCT
It was because of new hero
As if they ever release a new hero
Maybe in a year or two
they just said fall so nov-dec
Ye no, don't trust what valve says
It's fall in valve time
September / October rather
Pitlord is arriving aug 23
Can't wait for end of the year to see this guy in action...
Cant wait to see monkey on netflix in the next series!
WUKONG PogChamp
I waited for so long for pit lord
And they fucking saved it for THIS
***** I know that you moron, 'THIS' as in THIS international, instead of any other time before this event.
Pit Lord was also announced, in case you missed that
you don't need no stupid event to announce the hero. just do it and be happy with it.
I'm just glad all the heroes will finally be in the game +1
"you don't need no stupid event to announce the hero." But that's not how you do bussiness.
+BlackJackIs21 Correction: that's not how you hype people the fuck up
On release monkey king was a real menace 😂😂😂😂 won't ever forget that experience
And his ulti will be like "It's high noon"
