dota2 needs a serious overhaul with its lore

[JolyJew СлаваУкраине]

apart from things that were never explained like who gives you gold for killing stuff, how do the ancients come back after exploding and do runes come from.
some of the hero lores are complete crap.

wayyy too many heroes come from different dimensions and planets, meaning that there is nothing much to the actual world of dota2.
way too many heroes with "mystrious past" i can understand this for 1 or 2 heroes, but there are like 10 heroes with lore like this, what the hell?
way too many heroes being some sort of 1000000000 year old gods


and there are lores that don't make any sense at all.

a horde of zombies killed anti-mage's monastery, conclusion? ALL MAGIC USESRS MUST DIE!
a behavior like that that would indicate mental instability and insanity but both the lore and his line suggest that he is completely level-headed.

ogre magi have dumb luck, ok, but how the hell did he/they learn to cast devastating fire magic and why are they fighting for the ancients?

if vengance spirit want revenge on a single person, why is she running around in a random battefield?

i know lore is not important for many, but many other people enjoy being emressed in the game's world. i want to feel im actually playing a hero and be a part of him, not feel like im playing a chess piece

I like moving pawns around, don't care much for their lore.

The Lore is...

Our god and savior Gaben told us to do so!

then why bother with unique art style voices and animation?

they could just made PERSON 1 - with sword PERSON 2 with magic and PERSON 3 with the bow.
justl like in LoL.

You assume the majority of people who play a f2p game can actually read.

I think I would play that game, all the same ;)

Sure, customisation makes the game more interesting and being able to differentiate them on the battlefield makes it easier, but I don't play this game because of each hero's individual lore.

That is because of the "Death Bounty" posted By Lord Regent Urthic Laste of Stonehall.


If you truly care about dota 2 lore, you'd read EVERYTHING. Including the book on the bottom left-hand corner of the tutorial page.
It's got lots of stuff, the Splitting of the Mad Moon, Wraith Night, and some other stuff.

i did read that book.

i know this is not an RPG but people like being more attached to the characters they are playing.

no need for story? ok no problem, then don't make a story. no lore is better than bad lore, and right now most of the hero lores are terrible

Elder Titan was one of the earliest beings in the universe. Before matter turned into more familiar things, they shaped it into stars and worlds and creatures.

The world of DotA was a mistake. It's a failure for which he spends his life trying to atone for.

That's how they explained away all these different people being stuck in one place.
