Dota 2
there should be more heroes with guns
how come out of this whole giant hero roster only ONE hero has a gun? (gyrocopter doesn't count)
everyone else just uses boring bows or fluff balls that come out of their hands.

for example, LoL has a lot more heroes with guns.
like caitlyn, mis fortune and jinx. and they all have great character design and art style
even their personalities are great.

so why not have more heroes with miniguns like jinx and twin pistols like MF? having more characters will like them will be cool no?

OP.. you have Demons, angels, midgets, specters, warlords, shamans, warlocks and the sort... who the hell needs guns? I meen having doom blasting around with a shotgun or mirana shooting people with dual pistols would be a tad... ackward.

I won't lie. Jinx was literally the only reason I bothered to play LoL alongside Dota 2. :L

Tinker is using a plasma cannon not a gun.
I meant that TInker isn't your standard Fantasy dude.

For what purpose?

This game is a fantasy game with strategy.

But if you wanted another hero with a gun, look up "Dark Terminator" or known as one of the worst balanced heroes ever conceived.

No LoL hero would ever be balanced in DOTA.

LoL champs scale with levels. DOTA heroes scale with items. LoL champs have usally 4 abilities with an extra passive. DOTA heroes vary. LoL champs have 18 levels. DOTA heroes have 25. LoL has a basic AP and Asomething system. DOTA heroes have a Strength/Agility/Intelligence system.

Honestly, cause DotA is based on Warcraft, which most of their characters use spells, are melee, or ranged (as in bows, mostly). Few characters had firepower, (Dwarves, and Goblins, which youd purchace as mercenaries at the shops youd find on the maps.)
Its really based on a game that was almost entirely fantasy, so.. there werent too many gun-weilders, and im mostly certain ('mostly', because you never know), that it will stay that way because DotA and LoL are two seperate games with separate genres (as in Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Etc.), and as previously mentioned, it was based on a fantasy game. :)

We don't want your LoL filth, leave it out of the fantasy world of Warcraft, that has spawned, WoW, DotA and DotA 2. Thank you very much, we have no interest in that art style, if you want that, stay on LoL, skilless ♥♥♥♥.

Although, they had a space marine hero at one point.

To be fair, as someone who has played LoL, some of the champs are interesting.

I must stress on the some part, because there are a lot that are obviously boring as ♥♥♥♥ and use the same pattern as some heroes.
