Some Viking Themed Heroes?

[Evil Man Ray]

Any way we could get some? WE have items referencing Viking mythology (Skadi and Mjolnir) but no heroes really based in Viking culture. Tusk is the closest thing, but he's just a walrus. I guess Sven is kind of close too, but it's only his accent.

League of Legends is that way

Tusk's name is Ymir. Is that not Nordic enough?

How about Sven?

Sven is not,he is a knight of the vigil order,well,he was,his father got executed by his own order for no true reason,his mother died(his mother was a naga).He spend his life training in the said order,and,one day,just rampaged,rekted the sacred helm(i don't realy understand why he destroy the sacred helm,even more,he keep the holy blade),took the holy blade and runned away.

Tusk is a walrus with an accent.

Eh, maybe not ripped right from their mythology, but somebody inspired by their culture at least. I'd even settle for that viking looking set for DK i saw a while back.

Evidently, there's some Kunkka Arcana that will feature vikings. Good enough? :P

... But he's a pirate or something

[m0k]

He's an admiral. And vikings were seafarers, so what's the deal problem?

From a totally different time than Vikings.

there already is. beast master. you dont have to have blond hair to be a viking. just a great facial hair and muscles. axe is one too, a very sun burnt one that is. lone druid is a druid, which is similar location as vikings. england, close to norway. zeus and keeper of the light could easily be called a viking. gyrocopter could easily becalled a viking.

and most of all. omni knight and kunkka, could very very much be called vikings. especially kunkka, as vikings were known about their ship making capabilities and the sailer raiding style. where they are also like pirates. kunkka fits all that criteria lore wise. wraith king could very much be called a viking.

maybe OP is just a noob, and don't really understand dota2, which is the case becuse there is a host of things in dota2 like kunkka, omniknight that are easily vikings if you want to call them that, specifically kunkka. they don't necessarily need a label saying "hay i am a viking". and lets suppost dota2 had no vikings as you claimed. So what? is there really a big loss? no. you could go play another game with vikings if you got a hard on for vikings that badly.

Funny because if you read the lore of any of the heroes you mentioned, none of them could be considered viking in any way. Keeper somewhat resembles some mentions of Odin, but his lore doesn't back it up in any way. Also, Zeus? You think Zeus is a viking?You think the Greek god of lightning is a viking, and you call me a noob. Boy have you got a lot to learn.
